After spending the last five Christmases away from the UK, Meghan and Harry are reportedly considering a return to their home country.
Numerous reports have suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to relocate, with insiders claiming that the couple is feeling disappointed with their life in California and believes that the UK could offer them a happier home.
According to an insider quoted by MSN, Harry has chosen to return to the UK as an olive branch to his royal relatives.
However, the source also warned that there is a divide between Meghan and Harry when it comes to moving back.
Meanwhile, a source from Barkjack on Twitter revealed that Prince Harry is keen to have a traditional family Christmas, as he remembers from his past experiences.
This desire to spend the holidays in the UK may be fueled by the fact that the Sussexes rejected seeing the Queen in 2019.
Royal experts suspect that there may be underlying resentment and tensions brewing over Harry and Meghan’s Christmas plans.
The couple is said to be eager to capture pictures of themselves walking with the royal family, as it would help maintain their royal adjacent status.
However, it is unlikely that they will receive any formal invitation or ultimatum.
Instead, they would be expected to arrive with their two children and surrender all their electronic devices upon arrival.
The Harkles and their kids would also be checked for any hidden wires.
This arrangement might not sit well with Harry, as it would be difficult for him to make a public appearance without any invisible means of communication.
Moreover, Harry has been publicly critical of the royal family for years, which makes his sudden desire to return for a traditional family Christmas seem contradictory.
It remains unclear which member of the royal family would be glad to have Harry back for the holidays, as it seems that Harry is primarily concerned with his own desires rather than what his family wants.
Meghan’s willingness to leave her son Archie for extended periods of time on different continents, while refusing to be away from him for a two-hour dinner, has raised eyebrows.
It is hard to imagine her returning to the UK or Sandringham with two kids to spend a cozy family holiday with the very people they have publicly criticized.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their plans, the possibility of family pictures during the walk to church on Christmas Day seems fitting for the couple’s brand.
However, if Harry truly wishes to reconcile with his family, he needs to stop acting as if he has anything to bargain with.
He should be prepared to accept any and all stipulations set by King Charles.
Time is of the essence, as his chances of reconciliation may diminish if the king passes away before he takes action.
The Sussexes currently have no engagements with the royal family, neither public nor private.
Harry was allowed to privately pay his respects at the late queen’s grave, but his presence was leaked for a paparazzi photo, despite being in a secure area.
