And while the King will be joined at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk by most of his family, it is thought that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will be absent.

With a Christmas in California likely on the cards again this year, a leading royal expert has looked at how the family may choose to spend the day and what Harry and Meghan will do to "delight" their youngsters. "Meghan strikes me as a real home-maker and I’m sure everything in Montecito will be exquisitely tasteful, but also child friendly, because Meghan and Harry focus so much on their children and family life," former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively told OK!

"I think there is still a lot of the child in Harry as he was always the playful, mischievous one - and I’m sure he throws himself into Christmas fun with Archie and Lilibet.
