Royal Family Drama: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Consider Christmas Reunion
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering the idea of reuniting with the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham, following subtle hints from King Charles, according to a source.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not officially disclosed their holiday plans for this year, but an insider close to them previously hinted that they may not turn down a royal invitation to the traditional festive gathering at Sandringham.
The last time Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated Christmas with the royal household was back in 2018.
The following year, they chose to spend the holidays in the United States with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.
Subsequently, in early 2020, they stepped back from their royal duties and relocated to the United States.
However, a source now claims that King Charles has subtly signaled that the doors are open for a potential Christmas reunion.
According to reports, King Charles values peace and harmony within his family greatly, and it holds significant importance to him.
Allegedly, he is saddened by the fact that he has not yet had the opportunity to meet his granddaughter, Lilibet.
The source shared with Bella magazine that King Charles is eager to spend quality time with Archie, whether it be in a one-on-one setting or with Meghan present as well.
It is suggested that King Charles would be deeply disappointed if Prince Harry and Meghan chose to spend another Christmas away from the Royal Family.
The source further revealed that King Charles is hopeful that the Sussexes will reconsider and visit more frequently as a family of four.
Due to his inability to easily travel to California, it is implied that King Charles is willing to make significant efforts to meet Prince Harry and Meghan in various locations across the UK, even if it means other members of the Royal Family are not present.
Despite any past differences, King Charles still holds a deep affection for Prince Harry and hopes for reconciliation in the future.
In a twist to the story, an insider claimed that Prince William and Princess Kate might opt out of spending Christmas at Sandringham if Prince Harry and Meghan decide to attend.
Instead, there are suggestions that King Charles could extend an invitation to the Sussexes to join them in Scotland for the New Year celebration, coinciding with Prince William and Princess Kate's stay in Norfolk.
This strategic move could potentially mend relations with one son without causing discomfort to the other.
Furthermore, the insider hinted that even if Prince Harry and Meghan accept a Christmas invitation, they may not receive a warm reception from all members of the Royal Family.
