Add to Lightbox Download*PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE* Prince Harry, wife Meghan and baby Archie leave the South of France after a three-day family holiday at Sir Elton John’s stunning Pounds 15 million summer ‘palace.’ The Royal couple have come under heavy criticism and been accused of hypocrisy for using private jets three times in the space of eights days for jaunts around Europe while purporting to be ‘eco warriors.’ The flights are estimated to have emitted at least six times more carbon dioxide per person than a scheduled flight. After jetting into Nice Airport on Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess and baby Archie were whisked off in a Mercedes limousine, with police protection, to Sir Elton’s stunning French Riviera villa, Castel Mont-Alban. Considered a summer home by the Rocket Man singer, the sunbeam-yellow hilltop villa boasts commanding views of the Mediterranean from the overlooking tower room. It is high above Nice, with views across the bay and to the Alps and has been used by celebrity pals of Sir Elton, including David and Victoria Beckham. It was originally built in the 1920s as an artists colony. With the help of a team of designers, Elton redesigned the interior to be beautifully and extravagantly decorated in his own flamboyant style, complete with Andy Warhol originals adoring the walls. The villa is so huge it can be seen from across the entire bay. Just three days later, early on Saturday (Aug 17) afternoon, the Royal couple again left Nice Airport on the same private plane, and are believed to have flown back to the UK. Meghan wore a crisp white shirt and matching white trousers as she boarded the 12-seater Cessna aircraft carefully clutching three-month-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor closely to her chest. Harry, wearing a white polo, jeans, and brown chukka boots, climbed the steps a few moments later, before the plane left for its likely return journey to Farnborough airfield in Hampshire. It was the third time in just over a week that Harry has used a private jet
