It can look hypocritical, but their power to influence opinion derives from the fact that they are well-known, and well-known people generally lead lives of luxury because the two things go together. If an ordinary person living in a small house in a small town speaks out about something, however sincere and well-informed they may be, no-one will hear them. If Prince Harry or Meghan or George Clooney speaks out about something, it's all over the international media. I don't know why they all had to fly in on private jets, though! I went to Sicily on holiday last year - there are loads of commercial flights there at this time of year!
