Prince Harry Starts a New Row with Meghan Markle Over Holiday Plans
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be at odds over their major upcoming holiday plans, leading to speculation about a possible rift. Reports of a ‘professional separation’ between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex surfaced earlier this week, with sources close to the couple expressing concern about the future of their six-year marriage.
As Harry continues his efforts to reconcile with the royal family, a new issue has emerged. According to insiders, the Duke has expressed his desire to celebrate Christmas in the UK, a plan that seems to be causing tension between the couple. “Harry is keen for the Sussexes to spend time in the UK this Christmas with family. However, there are still concerns lingering over their security,” a well-placed insider revealed to The Express.

Despite this, Meghan remains firm in her stance against returning to the UK. Previously, when the royal family chose not to extend an invitation for the Sussexes to join them at Balmoral for Christmas, Princess Diana’s family stepped in, inviting Harry, Meghan, and their children to the Spencers’ Althorp estate instead.
However, Meghan remains resolute in her decision to stay away from the UK, expressing concerns about the environment there for her children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. “Meghan has always shown a reluctance to travel to the United Kingdom and finds it quite a challenge with all that’s been going on,” shared a source close to the couple.

This latest disagreement comes on the heels of Harry’s secret plans to extend his trip during his South Africa tour for a “few extra days.” Insiders suggest that Harry has arranged a “secret visit” for some private time with friends and family in Cape Town, raising further questions about the state of the couple’s relationship.
With tensions appearing to rise over their Christmas plans, fans and followers are left wondering if Harry and Meghan will find a compromise or if this disagreement signals a deeper divide. As Harry attempts to balance his desire for family unity with his wife’s hesitations, the spotlight remains firmly on the Sussexes as they navigate the challenges of public and personal life.
