Of course, Christmas is an important day for the royal family, who usually spend the day at Sandringham House in Norfolk with the Queen - in previous years, Meghan has attended with Harry and the invite was also extended to her mum, Doria. If the couple should choose to stay stateside, biographer Sally Bedell Smith told Vanity Fair that it "could be seen as another piece of evidence that [Harry and Meghan] are going their own way," however, she notes the Queen understands Meghan's want to spend time with her family at home.
After revealing they are struggling with the tabloid media scrutiny, it was confirmed that Harry and Meghan are taking a six-week break from royal duties over Christmas. A royal source told the Sunday Times: "The Duke and Duchess have a full schedule of engagements and commitments until mid-November, after which they will be taking some much-needed family time."
