Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to spend another Christmas with their children in the US, their sixth consecutive one away from the Royal Family. The couple, who have lived in California since 2020, also celebrated the festive period away from the UK in 2019 when they travelled to Canada for a private holiday with their newborn son, Prince Archie.
Since the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021, the family have enjoyed Christmas at their mansion in Montecito. The last Christmas that Meghan and Harry spent in the UK was after their wedding in 2018. Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, have never spent the Christmas period with their royal relatives on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
A source recently told US Weekly, that the idea that the Sussexes have been asked to join the royals this Christmas is “slim”.
Royal expert Richard Palmer recently told the Express that the King will most likely reach out to his youngest son to arrange a video call.
