How Harry and Meghan's huge seven-ton carbon footprint could cost just £170 to offset
Harry and Meghan's trip to Nice was estimated to have had a carbon footprint of just over three tons.
The private jet generated an estimated seven times the emissions per person compared to a commercial flight, on which even a business class seat would be more carbon efficient.
This was on top of their Ibiza trip this month which was believed to have had a footprint of more than four tons.
Daren Howarth, the founder of C-Level, another carbon offsetting organisation, told the Telegraph that the figure might be closer to 12 tonnes for the Nice trip alone.
He estimated that each passenger on a private jet emits 0.6 tons of CO2 for each hour flown and therefore the four-hour return flight works out at 2.4 tons of CO2 per passenger.
He calculated, on the basis of five people flying in the jet, a total of 12 tonnes of CO2, which would cost just £168 to offset.
Sir Elton did not vouchsafe how much he contributed to Carbon Footprint.
