As the holiday season approaches, families around the world are coming together to celebrate.

However, in the royal family, there seems to be a conspicuous absence.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are noticeably missing from the Sandringham Christmas celebrations, while the rest of the royal family carries on with their traditions seemingly unbothered by their exclusion.

King Charles and Queen Camilla, accompanied by other members of the royal family, made their way to the Christmas Eve service at St. Mary’s Church on the Royal Estate in Norfolk.

There was a palpable sense of togetherness as the 75-year-old monarch greeted well-wishers with a wave.

Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Lawrence, and trusted equerry Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Thompson were also present.

However, what is truly shocking is the reaction of Meghan Markle.

Known for her flair for drama, reports suggest that she was in despair when she realized that the royal spotlight was not on her.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, now residing in Los Angeles, find themselves on the outskirts, excluded from all the royal festivities at Sandringham.

They will be celebrating Christmas at their home in California.

This departure from tradition marks a significant shift in the royal family’s usual celebration of the festive season as one cohesive unit.

The absence of the Sussexes is felt deeply this year.

Adding another layer to the saga, Queen Camilla’s children and grandchildren have been invited to Sandringham for the first time.

Tom Parker Bowles and his younger sister Laura Lopez, along with their families, will be partaking in the celebrations.

While the royals attend a second service at St. Mariglane’s Church and prepare for their Christmas Day lunch, all eyes are firmly on them, leaving Harry and Meghan in the shadows.

The new year will also be rung in at Sandringham, emphasizing a sense of continuity within the royal family.

As we witness the unfolding of the royal celebrations, there is a poignant contrast between the joyous festivities within the royal fold and the solitude of the Sussexes in Los Angeles.

Meghan, whose desire for the spotlight is well known, finds herself on the outskirts, crying in despair as the royal spotlight eludes her this Christmas.
