The Buckingham Palace announced on November 13 that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be attending the Christmas celebrations at the Royal Household. Even though the statement did not specify where Prince Harry and former 'Suits' star will be heading on December 25. However, reportedly they are planning to visit Los Angeles which is Duchess' hometown. The annual festivities take place at Sandringham which includes a public walk to the church on the morning of Christmas with The Queen along with the entire Royal Family. However, this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to take a break from Royal responsibility.
Buckingham Palace said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month. Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’ mother Doria Ragland. This decision is in line with the precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen”.
Royal Christmas debut
Meghan Markle had made her royal Christmas debut in 2017 after the announcement of her engagement with Prince Harry. Prince William and Kate Middleton had also taken a break from the Christmas ceremony in 2016 where they opted to spend the holidays with the family of Duchess of Cambridge. The Royal couple was spotted attending the church service near her hometown, Bucklebury along with their two children. In 2017, both Royal couples were spotted walking alongside each other.
A hint towards the second baby
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hinted towards child number two during their surprise visit to families of service members in Windsor, England. Reportedly, they seemed curious about the management of two children and Prince Harry confessed that the Royal couple was thinking about a second child, on their visit earlier this week. The couple had their son, Archie, and they asked a mother about her life with two children. Later, the mother revealed that they were trying to persuade the couple for another child.
