Prince Harry’s Mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s untimely death.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.
The Sun reported that the couple used a 12-seater Cessna plane for the trip to Nice, where Sir Elton has a £15m home. The newspaper said the couple chose to hire a private jet costing more than £20,000, despite there being many commercial jet departures to choose from at a fraction of the price.The trip - 756 miles each way - would have generated seven times the emissions per person than a commercial flight, it was reported.
The couple's trip came just days after they travelled almost 1,000 miles by private jet to the party island of Ibiza to celebrate Meghan's birthday.
