Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Reportedly Skipping Christmas with the Royal Family This Year
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won't be celebrating Christmas with the rest of the royal family this year, apparently.
A source close to the couple told Vanity Fair that the Sussexes don't have any plans to fly back to the United Kingdom for the holidays this year, in spite of earlier reports suggesting they hoped to do just that.
"At this stage they are really enjoying their new life in California and their new home," the source explained. "There are currently no plans for them to return to the U.K. for Christmas."
Part of the reason behind the Sussexes' holiday plans is, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made transatlantic travel complicated at best. But, according to the Vanity Fair source, the pandemic isn't the only reason Harry and Meghan decided not to make the trip back to the U.K. this holiday season. Apparently, Harry's ongoing rift with his brother, Prince William, also played a role.
"Let’s just say that while things are better between Harry and his brother, it’s not what it was, and I don’t think anyone is ready for a cozy family Christmas right now," the source added.
