As reported by the Daily Mail, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen in Atlanta shortly after their return from a romantic weekend getaway in the Caribbean. The couple arrived in the city on a private flight on Monday after their brief holiday on the small island of Canouan in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. They had hired Backgrid to document their journey.
Photographs obtained by the Daily Mail captured the royal couple disembarking from the plane and walking across the tarmac. They were greeted by airport staff and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents. Meghan’s attire was noted to be a black long-sleeve maxi dress, brown slip-on sandals, a blue scarf, dark sunglasses, a messy bun, and she carried a souvenir tote bag with “Cream of the Islands” printed on it. She also held a sun hat.
On the other hand, Harry sported a white polo shirt, olive pants, and shoes, completing his post-holiday look with a black cap. Notably, their two young children were not seen with them, suggesting that they did not accompany their parents on this trip.
Some people speculated that Harry and Meghan might have attempted to seek Tyler Perry’s assistance with a private jet again, considering their previous connections. However, a Reddit user pointed out that the jet they flew into Atlanta on was not a Tyler Perry jet. It was neither of his two well-known jets, which are typically recognized by their white noses.
The Reddit user clarified that the picture was taken at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world’s second busiest airport, whereas Tyler Perry usually keeps his largest and most prestigious jets at Cobb County International Airport. He receives significant tax breaks for using these airports, although this has led to some controversy due to funding cuts to local nonprofits. Still, the county argues that his use of these airports contributes to local employment.
Tyler Perry’s smaller jets, which provide more privacy, are also used for certain trips to maintain secrecy. In this case, if it were one of Tyler Perry’s jets, they would have likely used Cobb County International Airport, given his dedicated staff there. Perry backed off from assisting the couple upon discovering that the child being christened was not the one he believed to be Lili.
This incident has stirred some criticism regarding Harry and Meghan’s environmental claims, as they have been vocal advocates for environmental causes. Their use of over seven cars for security during their visit to New York City was seen as contradictory to their eco-conscious messaging. In contrast, Prince Charles and Camilla were noted to have attended a similar event in Birmingham without the need for such a large convoy of vehicles.
