Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly not waiting for an invitation to spend Christmas with the Royal Family from King Charles, despite now living in the UK. A friend told The Sunday Times that the couple will prioritise Meghan's mother, Doria, over royal festivities.
Plans Centred on Doria
The friend said: "For Thanksgiving and Christmas, they will do whatever Doria wants to do. They would love her to come over to the UK and spend it with them here, but they will be wherever she wants to be."
The friend added: "They won't be having Christmas with the Royal Family. How could that even work? They know it would be too awkward and too difficult. They also know they're not going to be invited, and they're not waiting for an invitation."
Alternative Festive Arrangements
Harry and Meghan have already made alternative plans in the UK, according to reports. A source claimed: "They want to show that royalty doesn't need a palace, a grand ballroom or an extravagant banquet. They want to be seen as modern, accessible and connected to everyday people. This is the direction they're taking."
The Sussexes moved back to the UK at the end of August.
