Elton John Defends Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for Using His Private Plane

Elton John says he is "deeply distressed" over the criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's use of his private jet. The “Rocket Man” singer is defending the royals, who are close friends of his, saying they used the plane to visit him for three days at his $18 million hilltop villa on the French Riviera. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are being called hypocrites after speaking out about environmental issues, then using various private jets for trips around Europe.
