Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
An invite to Sandringham for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have made other Royal Family members feel “awkward” a royal expert has claimed.
It is thought Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are enjoying holiday festivities in Los Angeles with their two children and Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland. Rather than a church service and traditional Christmas lunch, Harry’s Christmas would have been worlds apart from his past Christmases.
Royal biographer, Ingrid Seward, told the Mirror: “King Charles would have loved the opportunity to see his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, but he knew inviting Harry and Meghan would have been awkward for the rest of the family. So, there was no official invitation.”
Ingrid also believes the “all-American homemaker” would have decorated the house herself for Christmas. She further added: “It would not look good if Meghan who publicises herself as the all-American homemaker was to hire someone to adorn their house and decorate their tree. She will have done it herself and made the gingerbread house as is traditional in America.”
She explained: “They will have picked a tree from the rows upon rows of Christmas pines in one of the local stores. Their house will be decorated, and the yard (garden) strung with festive lights. The wealthy residents of Montecito hire interior designers to decorate their houses and trees to perfection.”
Since his marriage to Meghan Markle in 2018, Harry has only had one Christmas at Sandringham in December of the same year.
This year, Sandringham made for a busy Christmas as King Charles had 45 members of his family gathered for the festivities in Norfolk.
