MEGHAN Markle jetted off to Utah for a "perfect" ski trip with pals and the kids.
The Duchess of Sussex flew from her and Prince Harry's £11m California mansion to the snowy slopes of Powder Mountain this week.
Meghan, 42, escaped with pals Heather Dorak, Kelly McKee Zajfen and their families, while the news broke that Harry lost his High Court battle denying him British taxpayer-funded security.
While pilates business owner Dorak and former model Zajfen whisked their husbands and children away with them, it is not known if the Duke, 39, Archie and Lilibet were in attendance.
The trio were snapped on top of the mountains cosied up in beanie hats, big coats and sunglasses as the sun shone down.

"The kids crushed the slopes by day and the adults howled with laughter deep into the night.
"Truly lucky in love with our wonderful friends!"
