Harry and Meghan ‘not completely satisfied’ after missing from royal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle selected to not have fun Christmas with the Royal Family this yr, marking another vacation season away from Harry’s royal kin.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped again from their Royal duties in 2020, have not celebrated Christmas Day at Sandringham since 2018 – more than a yr before they left the Firm. For their son Prince Archie’s first Christmas in 2019, the couple opted to spend the vacation season overseas in Canada. While it’s believed they cherished this household time, a guide claimed that one side of Christmas Day left them dissatisfied.

This was Queen Elizabeth II‘s late Christmas broadcast.

While video clips of Harry, Meghan, and Archie had been featured during the broadcast, together with snippets of other relations, the couple reportedly felt slighted that {a photograph} of them was not displayed on Her Majesty’s desk alongside other household portraits.

The guide acknowledged, “One didn’t have to look further than the family photos displayed during the Queen’s Speech on Christmas Day.

“In the Green Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, the place the Queen delivered her tackle, viewers glimpsed pictures of the [Waleses] and their kids, Charles and Camilla, Prince Philip, and a black-and-white picture of George VI.”

Continuing, the two writers added, “Noticeably absent was a photograph of Harry, Meghan, and their new child, Archie.

“Palace sources insisted that the photos were chosen to represent the direct line of succession. But for Harry and Meghan, it had been yet another sign that they needed to consider their own path.”

Harry and Meghan’s kids, Prince Archie, now six, and Princess Lilibet, 4, will not be thought to have ever celebrated a Christmas Day with the Royal Family.

This yr, the household celebrated at their house in Montecito, with Meghan telling her As Ever publication subscribers precisely how she likes to spend the day.

Writing to her followers, the Duchess said, “I plan to spend today cuddled up with my family – maybe pajamas all day, some Scrabble or Sequence (or Candyland for the kids), music playing, candles flickering, dogs snoring, endless grazing; the laughter, the sidebars, the deep breaths (you know the ones), the fun, and the memories.”

The 44-year-old also revealed that the household enjoys take-out on Christmas Eve, which consisted of dim sum, this yr, a far cry from the British Royal Family’s celebratory meals.
