Kitson Los Angeles, a prominent store in the city, has showcased Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in a holiday-themed exhibit labeled "Holiday Hypocrites," where the royal couple faces pointed criticism.
This tradition of spotlighting the affluent and renowned during the holiday season has persisted for the past four years.
The current display features a manipulated photo of Meghan and Harry donning Christmas hats. Underneath this image, the store has incorporated screenshots of headlines from the New York Post and the Daily Mail, lambasting the royal couple's frequent use of private jets.
This choice has been under scrutiny, and Kitson Los Angeles has integrated this incident into their annual holiday commentary on the behaviors of the affluent and famous.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared a photo of the display at Kitson's Robertson Blvd location, highlighting the store's visual critique of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's travel choices.
Renowned Hollywood figures Cameron Diaz, Benji Madden, and Zoe Saldana reportedly shared a flight during the same week when Prince William, the brother of Prince Harry, chose commercial travel from the UK to Singapore. This decision was in connection with attending the Earthshot Prize awards, showcasing a commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
In contrast, Prince Harry has faced past scrutiny for his use of private flights.
In 2019, he addressed the issue, stating that there might be occasional need for private travel based on unique circumstances to ensure his family's safety. He emphasized the simplicity of the matter, framing it as an occasional necessity rather than a regular practice.
This context sheds light on the differing approaches of the royal brothers concerning air travel and their considerations for environmental impact.
