Prince Harry and Meghan spend Christmas with Doria Ragland

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 13:32 · Archive

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will spend Christmas with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, rather than with the Royal Family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly confirmed they will spend Christmas with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, rather than joining the Royal Family at Sandringham. The couple, who returned to the UK from the United States earlier this year, are understood to have made alternative festive plans.

Royal commentator Katie Nicholl told the Royals Uncensored podcast that the move was the 'most sensible thing' Harry and Meghan could have done. She said the couple were 'sidestepping an issue that would bring embarrassment and potential awkwardness for the royals' and that their proactive approach 'could perhaps earn them some brownie points' with King Charles.

Reports suggest Harry and Meghan's relationship with some members of the Royal Family remains strained despite their return to Britain. The couple are said not to have seen King Charles since July, when they were invited to Highgrove House. Their decision means the monarch will host Christmas celebrations at Sandringham without having to address speculation over whether the Sussexes would be invited.
