Archie Mountbatten,world-traveler!
Meghan MarkleandPrince Harryare making the most of summer with a second overseas vacation with their 3-month-old son.
The family headed to Nice in the south of France on a private jet and are reported to have stayed in a villa overlooking the sunny Mediterranean.
Their arrival in 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.
The Sun,which broke the story, said the couple used a private jet for both trips, including a 12-seater Cessna plane pictured in the U.K. newspaper.

Speaking about their use of a private Cessna jet, British Member of Parliament Teresa Pearce toldThe Sun, “I find this quite surprising, because it doesn’t fit with their public image and the way they’re so concerned about the planet.”
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.”
In response to the criticism, singer Elton John tweeted that he had supplied the private plane and ensured it was “carbon neutral.”

The Grammy winner 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.”
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.
