Harry and Meghan plan first British Christmas in eight years

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 13:03 · Archive

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to spend Christmas in Britain for the first time in eight years, celebrating privately at their Cotswolds base rather than joining the Royal Family in Norfolk.

The couple last spent Christmas in Britain in 2018, when Meghan was pregnant with Prince Archie. They had initially planned to return to the United States to celebrate with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, in California, but have reportedly decided to remain in the UK for the festive period.

A source told The Times that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would find it 'too awkward and too difficult' to join the Royal Family in Norfolk, and that they are not expecting an invitation. Meghan, Harry, Archie and Lilibet could still be joined by Doria Ragland in the UK, with the arrangement reportedly 'always the plan'.
