Bitter feud blocks royal family reunion on Christmas?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly will not spend the upcoming Christmas celebrations at Buckingham Palace. 

Instead, reports say the rebel royals plan to celebrate the holiday with their kids in Montecito, California.

PR expert Michael Levine claimed the pair set aside beef with the royal family to "focus on creating unique traditions" for their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

"Since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have been largely absent from royal events, and their relationship with the family has remained tense," he told The Mirror.

The publicist continued, "Despite this, the Sussexes have been invited to spend Christmas with the Spencer family at Althorp House, Princess Diana's childhood home."

"However, they have also declined this invitation due to security concerns and the ongoing family rift. Instead, Harry and Meghan plan to celebrate the holidays at their Montecito home in California, focusing on creating unique traditions for their children, Archie and Lilibet."

Michael also weighed in on the reports that King Charles and Queen Camilla snubbed Harry and Meghan over the invitation to the Christmas event.

"The decision to exclude the Sussexes from the Sandringham gathering reflects the current dynamics within the royal family, highlighting the complexities and challenges in their relationships," he said.

In the meantime, Kate Middleton will host the Christmas carol service on Dec 6.
