Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Leave King Charles Out of Christmas Plans

Reports say the Sussexes expect to spend the holiday with Meghan’s mother after stepping back as working royals in 2020.

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly plan to spend Christmas in California this year, not joining the Royal Family's traditional gathering at Sandringham, Norfolk.
  • Sandringham has long hosted the monarchy's Christmas celebrations, including a church service and family meal, but Harry and Meghan last joined the gathering in 2018 shortly after their wedding.
  • Since relocating to the United States, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have established independent family traditions with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
  • A friend of the couple believes they will celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, likely in California, where the 70-year-old is willing to join them.
  • King Charles III reiterated in September 2026 that the couple remain non-working members of the Royal Family, a status that has complicated their participation in traditional royal events.
