Prince Harry has addressed concerns over his family's use of private jets.
The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle were for using private jets to fly to Nice and Ibiza within 11 days.
But Harry said he sometimes flies privately only 'to ensure his family are safe' and argued he spends most of his life flying commercially.
The royal flew by commercial jet to Amsterdam earlier today (September 3) to launch an environmental initiative, reports Mirror Online .
During the speech, he said: "I spend 99% of my life travelling the world by commercial.
"Occasionally there needs to be an opportunity based on a unique circumstance to ensure that my family are safe."
He says he hopes to encourage more environmental friendly travel with a new initiative called 'Travalyst'.
Harry said in a speech to launch the initiative at Amsterdam's A'dam Tower: "What is clear across this vast landscape is that our world faces environmental challenges of unprecedented scope and scale.
"From deforestation and the loss of biodiversity, to ocean plastics and poaching, the problems can sometimes seem too big to fix.
"These human-caused challenges often need a giant system shift to make a significant enough impact. And that is what this partnership is here to try and do."
"Sometimes the scale of the conservation crisis feels overwhelming and that individual actions can't make a difference.
"I've certainly felt that - but I've learned that we cannot dismiss the idea of trying to do something, just because we can't do everything. We can all do better.
"And, while no-one is perfect, we are all responsible for our own individual impact; the question is what we do to balance it out."
