Harry and Meghan Choose Family Festivities in the U.S. Amid Royal Tensions
As Christmas approaches, tensions within the Royal Family have become more evident, with reports suggesting that Prince Harry has been left off the guest list for the traditional holiday gathering at Sandringham. While up to 45 royals and extended family members are expected to join King Charles at his Norfolk estate for the festivities, the Duke of Sussex will not be among them.
A royal insider told the *Mail* that the relationship between Harry and the rest of the family remains strained, making his invitation unlikely. Instead, Harry and Meghan Markle will reportedly spend Christmas in the United States with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
The Prince of Wales, who will be surrounded by family at Sandringham, admitted this week that he’s not quite ready for the holiday season. During a visit to an event for military families in Wiltshire, William confessed, "Am I ready for Christmas? No, no way am I ready." However, he expressed excitement about the upcoming festive period, looking forward to having the family together in one room — a rare occasion considering their typically packed schedules.
Alongside the Princess of Wales and their three children, Prince William will join King Charles and Queen Camilla for the royal celebrations. This comes just days after William and his children supported Princess Catherine at her "Together at Christmas" carol service.
