Elton Johnis raising his voice in support ofMeghan MarkleandPrince Harry.

After news of theroyal couple’s vacation to Nice in the south of Francewith their 3-month-old son Archie broke, headlines focused on their use of a private jet to make the journey — a seeming contradiction to their stance on protecting the environment.

John continued, “After a hectic year continuing their hard work and dedication to charity, David and I wanted the young family to have a private holiday inside the safety and tranquility of our home. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight.”

The string of five tweets was signed, “Elton.”

Last month, Harry, 34, said that the couple would likelylimit themselves to two childrenand sharedin an Instagram poston June 30 that “every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference.”

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex attend the King Power Royal Charity Polo Match, in which Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex were competing for the Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Polo Trophy at Billingbear Polo Club on July 10, 2019 in Wokingham, England.

Their trip to the French Riviera came just two days after they arrived back from Ibiza, where they took a break around August 4, when Meghan celebrated her 38th birthday. The couple’s office declined to comment on either trip.

This isn’t the only travel on the Sussexes’ calendar. They are also expected to use part of their summer holiday to head to Balmoral Castle to spend time withQueen Elizabethand other members of the royal family. Next month, they will embark on a long-haul flight toAfrica for Archie’s first official overseas visit.
