However, it’s not just Camilla who Harrold thinks could put a stop to Harry spending Christmas with the royal family. He believes Prince William will also be reluctant.<\/p>\n
“William is the bigger unknown,” Harrold told us, before adding, “But I\u2019m sure he, the King, and Queen Camilla will have discussed the possibility, because that\u2019s what families do.”<\/p>\n
Commenting on Harry and Meghan’s possible response to a Christmas invite, Harrold said, “They may choose to stay in California, especially with Meghan\u2019s mother there and the likelihood that the invitation would be for the couple rather than the whole extended family.<\/p>\n
“They might instead plan to see the King in the New Year – which ties into the upcoming state visit.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If Harry and Meghan don’t reunite with the royal family in person over Christmas, Harrold believes they could still reach out with a video call.<\/p>\n
“I think that is almost certain,” he told us. “Not necessarily because of Harry and Meghan, but because Harry will want his children to have some kind of relationship with their grandfather.<\/p>\n
“A cheerful video call with the kids would be an easy, positive gesture, and I can imagine Camilla being present for it as well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
