MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s carbon footprint could be 26 times higher than the average Brit.

The ex-royals were seen on Friday in Beverly Hills in a Cadillac Escalade, believed to be among the most polluting cars on earth.

But a study by former MP Norman Baker says the car, as well as the heat and carbon emissions from the 24,500sq ft eight-bed mansion they are using in LA is only a fraction of their footprint.

They generate 215 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year from flights against the UK average of 8.3 tons for one person, it is claimed.

They racked up at least 53 international flights in the 12 months to the end of January 2020, according to Mr Baker.
