Meghan Markle Returns to California from Invictus Games on Private Jet

Meghan Markle returned to California from the Invictus Games in Canada on a private jet, which reportedly could have cost up to $30,000 and generated approximately 6.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The Duchess of Sussex traveled alone to reunite with their children in Montecito, leaving her husband Prince Harry to continue attending the games. Despite the flight's environmental impact, aides stated that Meghan's trip home was pre-planned, similar to her previous attendance at the event. She posted on Instagram showcasing gifts for their children and expressed support for Harry from afar. The couple will be separated for Valentine's Day, but sources confirmed that Meghan's departure was intentional to allow Harry to focus on his responsibilities at the games. The private flight included a brief stop in Seattle before reaching Santa Barbara Airport.
