No Christmas Invite: Harry and Meghan Ousted from Royal Family Plans

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines in January 2020 when they announced their decision to step back from their royal roles and split their time between the UK and the US.

The move, revealed through a bombshell statement on social media, took many by surprise, including Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and Prince William, who reportedly were not consulted beforehand.

Speculation arose among royal experts that Meghan Markle's struggle to adapt to royal life and her resistance to conforming to traditional norms may have played a significant role in the couple's decision to distance themselves from the royal family.

British journalist Tom Bauer even suggested in his book “Revenge” that Markle's reluctance to learn the intricacies of royal protocol influenced their departure.

Unlike other members of the royal family, Meghan Markle was known for being outspoken and unafraid to express her opinions, a trait that may have clashed with the expectations of royal life.

As the royal family prepares for their first Christmas without Queen Elizabeth, there are rumors circulating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be part of the festivities this year.

In light of the anticipated backlash from Prince Harry's upcoming memoir and the couple's docuseries, the palace has subtly hinted that it would be best for Harry and Meghan to celebrate Christmas in Montecito, away from the royal family.

This decision, seen as a snub by many, reflects the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal household.

The looming release of Prince Harry's memoir has sparked concern within the royal family, with fears that the content may be damaging and offensive to them.

The decision not to provide advanced copies to the family has only heightened tensions, leading to speculation about the potential fallout from the revelations in the book.

Despite the controversy surrounding their absence from Christmas celebrations and the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, the couple reportedly hopes to return to the United Kingdom in the future once the situation has calmed down.

However, the uncertainty surrounding the reception of the memoir and the ongoing feud between Harry and Camilla could impact their ability to reintegrate into royal life.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl noted that while Prince Charles is eager to have Harry and Meghan present at his coronation, there may be restrictions in place due to the strained relationship between Harry and Camilla.

Charles has extended olive branches to the Sussexes publicly, but the tension within the family remains palpable.

As the holiday season approaches and the anticipation for Prince Harry's memoir grows, the royal family faces a challenging period marked by uncertainty and discord.

The decision to exclude Harry and Meghan from Christmas festivities underscores the rift between the couple and the rest of the royal household, raising questions about their future within the monarchy.
