Meghan Markle and Prince Harry face new green row over Range Rovers shipped from UK to southern Africa for their 10-day tour
I'm gonna have to defend this oneIt sure is a problem. There were no cars for them. If they came by ship, I don’t see why the uproar. Unless of course the cars were the only thing on the ship.
But then again, there is the huge problem there.
Quite simply in 1 word - Security
- I am absolutely sure this decision wasn't anything Harry & Meg would have much say in anyway -
Anyone who has a problem with this decision should be arguing with these guys

Carjacking is at epidemic levels in South Africa, and Palace officials will have been at pains to ensure the safety of the couple while touring the country...
The Duchess of Sussex walks from a UK-registered Range Rover
Vehicle armouring firm Amormax has warned hijackers with AK47s are switching from lead core to steel core bullets, which can pierce through conventional armour...
The company, which generally deals with rich clients, has added that hijackers are now taking motorists with them to prevent them from reporting the incident.
Any costs involved is irrelevant as well.
The cars for the trip were understood to have been offered by Jaguar Land Rover, and were transported at no cost to the taxpayer, the Press Association reports.
I know I wouldn't trust any HIRED vehicle in S.A.
I really doubt they're anywhere close to the requirements & standards needed.
They've had all the security tests & checks done probably before they even left the factory.

I'm sure 'Q' wouldn't be very happy either!
