Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's solitary Christmas with guitar singalong

ok.co.uk:

Christmas has taken on a new look for Prince Harry, who once revelled in the grand family gatherings at Sandringham. Now, with Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, their celebrations are more intimate, set in their California home, often with just Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, joining them.

Meghan recently shared a glimpse into their holiday plans, mentioning a delicious meal, fun games, and possibly a guitar-led singalong.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward contrasted this to Harry's past Christmases, which he considered the "golden ticket" – full of family time, church services, traditional lunches, and even a Boxing Day pheasant shoot.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "The present opening on Christmas Eve with his extended family and then church and traditional Christmas lunch the next day.Then the Boxing Day pheasant shoot and in between loads of party games and drinking." Since marrying Meghan in 2018, Harry has spent just one Christmas at Sandringham, embracing the 'happy holidays' spirit of his new homeland, with only his mother-in-law Doria likely to have been with them at their Montecito residence.
