The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has not celebrated a traditional British Christmas with his family since 2018.
However, his reported desire to mend relations and join the royal family for the festive season has been met with criticism.
In an exclusive interview with GB News, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed his disapproval of Harry’s intentions.
Fitzwilliams emphasized that it would be highly inappropriate for Prince Harry to attend the Christmas gathering.
He acknowledged that there have been reports of Harry reaching out to his family in the past, but questioned the sincerity of these efforts.
The royal author pointed to Harry’s previous public criticisms of the royal family, both in television interviews and his book “Spare,” as evidence of lingering bitterness.
Highlighting the unpredictability and lack of trustworthiness exhibited by the Sussexes, Fitzwilliams argued that a peaceful and relaxed Christmas would be impossible under such circumstances.
The question of whether Harry will return to the UK while Meghan remains in America remains a rumor, leaving room for speculation about who is spinning what.
Fitzwilliams firmly stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be making an appearance at the Sandringham estate this year.
He attributed their absence to the overshadowing impact they have had on King Charles’s reign, citing the controversies surrounding their departure from the royal family, ongoing court cases, the near-catastrophic car chase, and the recent release of the book “Endgame.”
Instead, Fitzwilliams believes that the focus this Christmas will be on solidarity and family unity.
With the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, people will reflect on their legacy and the importance of coming together.
The decision of the royal family to remain silent amidst the recent controversies will likely be seen as the right course of action.
As the holiday season approaches, Prince Harry’s attempt to reconcile with his family has sparked a heated debate.
While some question the appropriateness of his desire to return, others argue that forgiveness and unity should prevail during this festive time.
The outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Duke of Sussex’s Christmas plans have become a subject of intense public scrutiny.
