That’s because a lot of people can’t help but roll their eyes over the fact that Harry is traveling from California all the way to Shanghai to help promote ‘greener’ travel. Couldn’t have just Zoomed it in? That’s what critics on both sides want to know.
Prince Harry Is Being Slammed For Traveling To China For This Reason
