Meghan Markle worries 2024 might be the last year with Prince Harry for Christmas
Meghan Markle reportedly harbors concerns about Christmas this year, as many speculate it could be the Sussexes’ “last” in their Montecito home. A well-placed insider shared these insights with Closer magazine, shedding light on what the holiday might look like for the family.
According to the source, the Sussexes are planning a cozy celebration at home. “This could be their last Christmas at home, so they will spend it together this year to make it extra special,” the insider revealed. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, is expected to join the family in Montecito, ensuring that Archie and Lilibet have a joyful day, even without extended family present.
The source explained, “They’ll ensure the children have a joyful day, despite not being around extended family.” As for the prospect of spending the holidays with the British royal family, the source confirmed that no invitation to join the celebrations at Sandringham has been extended. “It’s not surprising as they didn’t expect an invite, and even if one had been offered, they would likely decline,” the insider said.
The couple also received an invitation to spend Christmas with the Spencers at Althorp, Princess Diana’s ancestral home, but had to turn it down due to ongoing security concerns. The phrase “last Christmas” reportedly refers to the pressures the Sussexes are facing, including potential challenges with their U.S. residency.
Speculation has arisen about former President Donald Trump’s disapproval of the couple, as well as concerns tied to past admissions of drug use, which have been noted by some members of the current administration. These uncertainties appear to be influencing their plans, with the Sussexes focusing on creating a special and memorable holiday season for their young family.
The insider emphasized their desire to make this Christmas particularly meaningful, given the challenges ahead. While the Sussexes continue to navigate complex dynamics on both sides of the Atlantic, this holiday season represents a moment of reflection and togetherness for the family. Fans and observers will no doubt watch closely as the couple approaches the festive season amid ongoing speculation about their future.
