Royal Rift: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Excluded from Christmas Gathering
Meghan MarkleIn a continuation of their strained relationships with the British royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be joining the royal Christmas celebrations at Sandringham this year. Sources close to the family have confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not extended an invitation to the annual holiday gathering hosted by King Charles.
This marks another year that Harry and Meghan will spend the festive season apart from the royal family, following their last Christmas together in 2018. The couple is expected to remain in the United States over the holiday period, amidst ongoing tensions with senior royals.
The exclusion comes amidst a backdrop of ongoing estrangement, particularly between Prince Harry and key family members such as King Charles and Prince William. Efforts by Harry to connect with family members reportedly continue to be rebuffed, highlighting the deepening divide.
Adding to the family drama, reports indicate that Prince William and Kate Middleton might host a separate Christmas event, diverging from traditional gatherings at Sandringham. This development further underscores the internal discord within the family, as discussions about a "rival" Christmas celebration emerge.
The public first took notice of the strained relationships in 2021 following Harry and Meghan's revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey. Since then, Harry's memoir "Spare" and the couple's Netflix series "Harry & Meghan" have contributed to exacerbating tensions.
As the holiday season approaches, the royal family appears to remain deeply divided, with no resolution in sight for the personal rifts that have publicly unfolded over recent years.
