Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie may have received an invitation to spend Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham this year, but the same can’t be said for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!
According to reports, King Charles has yet to extend an invitation to his youngest son and daughter-in-law, meaning they will be spending Christmas at their home in Montecito, California, alongside six-year-old son Prince Archie and four-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet.
While they won’t be joining the royal fold in Norfolk, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to have firmly established their own festive traditions. The former Suits star offered a glimpse of this during her With Love, Meghan holiday special on Netflix, which featured controversial hand-made giant advent calendars for their children, filled with positive and inspiring handwritten messages.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Will Still Contact King Charles At Christmas
Despite the lack of a Christmas invitation, it doesn’t appear that the royal feud has returned to its worst phase. In fact, things reportedly continue to move in the right direction, with a potential reconciliation still on the cards.
Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, reportedly plan to call King Charles over Christmas, with Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop quoting an insider as saying: “They won’t be there in person, but they will be in touch. It’s important to Harry that his father hears from him on Christmas.”
Interestingly, at one point this month, it was looking possible that Prince Harry and Meghan *could* have been invited, amid reports that the King wants to go all out this Christmas just in case it’s one of, or indeed his last.
An insider told Us Weekly that King Charles “knows his time is precious” and “wants a special Christmas in case it’s his last.”

King Charles Wants This Christmas To Be ‘Extra Special’
Royal commentator Amanda Matta doubled down on this, and reportedly told Fox News that “the idea that he wants this Christmas to be ‘extra special’ makes sense – not because it’s necessarily his last, but because he’s acutely aware of time and legacy.”
“For the royals, the unique blend of tradition and togetherness at Christmas acts as a reset button… No one really knows the full extent of Charles’ health struggles, other than the fact that they are ongoing,” she went on.
“After such a turbulent year – with family rifts, Andrew’s removal from royal duties, and his own ongoing treatment now dragging into its third year – it’s understandable that he’d want to make this Christmas feel especially meaningful,” she concluded.
