Prince Harry 'gives barefoot speech' at secretive Google Camp climate change conference in Italy in front of A-list crowd including Leo DiCaprio and Naomi Campbell, as it's revealed celebs arrived on total of 114 private jets
Prince Harry gave a barefoot speech at a secretive Google Camp climate change conference in Italy according to reports, in front of an A-List crowd who flew in on 114 private jets.
The Duke of Sussex is said to have given a passionate speech about saving the planet while being watched by Naomi Campbell and Leonardo DiCaprio, among other celebrities and power brokers.
It comes just a day after he revealed his determination to be kind to the planet by having no more than two children in an article with environmentalist Dr Jane Goodall in the edition of Vogue guest-edited by his wife Meghan.
Tech giants and celebrities flocked to Sicily to show off their green credentials for the camp that focuses on global warming - but many failed to leave their private jets at home.
More than 110 fuel-guzzling planes are scheduled to land at Palermo, the nearest airport, between now and August 4, reports Giornale di Sicilia.
Others brought their super yachts to the three-day conference which has A-lister attendees including Harry Styles, Katy Perry and Bradley Cooper.
Buckingham Palace refused to confirm Prince Harry's attendance at the event or how he travelled to Sicily.
A spokeswoman told MailOnline: 'This is not something we are commenting on.'
Prince Harry is said to be on the guest list alongside Barack Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio for Google's Italian climate change conference this week

Barack Obama and Facebook found Mark Zuckerberg were also rumoured to be among those attending the event, but has not been spotted so far.
Orlando Bloom, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg and Gayle King were also spotted arriving at the Verdura Resort in Sicily for the welcome diner on Monday.

Styles was seen behind the wheel of a luxury car while driving with his friends Jeff Azoff and Ben Winston to the Temple of Hera UNESCO World Heritage site.

Prince Harry also attended the event back in 2017 - and may have taken Meghan Markle along with him.
The pair made their first public appearance together at a polo match in Ascot in May that year, and a week after the Google conference she was spotted in London with her mother celebrating her birthday.
The event, created by Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, sees some of the world's wealthiest business leaders and tech gurus discussing various issues in morning sessions before relaxing in the Italian sunshine in the afternoon.
Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, was also said to be at the secretive conference.
This year's secretive camp, where social media is banned and the itinerary locked behind a password-protected site, will focus on tackling global warming, reports the New York Post.
One attendee said: 'There will likely be discussions about online privacy, politics, human rights, and of course, the environment, which makes it highly ironic that this event requires 114 private jets to happen.'

David Geffen's Rising Sun did swing by briefly on Monday to drop off Perry and Bloom, but then continued on its way up the Italian coast.
As well as private jets and megayachts, there are buses to herd guests around and a helicopter pad.
After morning sessions, afternoons are free for guests to relax around the complex and spa, with trips around the coast, to local wineries and to tourist hot spots on offer.
The resort boasts two 18-hole golf courses, a tennis academy and one of the largest spa complexes in all of Europe on its over one mile of private coastline.
There are a number of suites and private rooms as well as three villas for guests to stay.
Those villas look out on to individual pools as well as the property's massive infinity pool and stunning private beach, filled with imported white sand, a jetty and even a small carpet to take pampered stars into the crystal blue ocean waters.
On the final night, Google spends close to $100,000 renting the 2,500-year-old Valley of the Temples ruins for a concert and sit-down meal, with Sting performing there last summer.
