Madonna’s new daughter, Mercy James, has been flown to London.

According to an airport employee, the three-year-old flew out on a private jet, heading for London, with a stop in neighboring South Africa.

“A private jet flew in from South Africa and collected her at five minutes to six last evening,” the source said. “She connected to London from Johannesburg at 10:30 p.m.”

A source familiar with the adoption said the little girl was due to arrive in London.

Mercy, who will be joining big sister, Lourdes, brothers Rocco and David Banda, – also a 3-year-old from Malawi – was accompanied by a nanny, a child nurse and another aide. Madonna has homes in England and in the United States.
