Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and togetherness, but for the British royal family, this festive season is shaping up to be anything but wonderful.
King Charles and Prince William are reportedly at odds over who should be invited to Sandringham for the family’s traditional Christmas lunch.
While Charles wants to include Harry and Meghan, William is vehemently opposed to the idea and has even threatened to boycott the event if they attend.
According to royal expert Jenny Bond, William has closed his mind to the prospect of reconciliation with his younger brother.
“Wills won’t be shedding a tear if Harry is not there at Christmas,” she revealed.
This comes as no surprise considering that Harry hasn’t spent Christmas in the UK since 2018.
Sources claim that he has been feeling homesick lately and wants to spend more time in the UK to be closer to his family and friends.
However, repairing relations with his family seems to be a prerequisite for that.
The situation took an interesting turn earlier this month when Harry and Meghan supposedly made a call to the king for his 75th birthday.
This marked the first time the king had spoken to Harry in six months, and he was delighted to receive a video of his Sussex grandkids singing him Happy Birthday.
Despite everything that has happened, Charles has never completely shut the door on Harry.
In fact, he previously invited Meghan and Harry to Balmoral to commemorate the late queen’s death anniversary, an offer they declined.
While there might be a slight thawing in relations between Charles and Harry, William remains firmly opposed to spending Christmas with his brother and sister-in-law.
The main obstacle, according to a source, is the terrible accusations that were leveled at William and his wife.
The tension is so palpable that if Harry and Meghan do decide to show up, William and Catherine may opt to spend the holiday season with the Middletons instead.
It seems that King Charles has found himself caught in the middle of this ongoing family feud.
One possible resolution could be for William, Catherine, and their children to spend Christmas with the king at Sandringham, while Harry, Meghan, and their children celebrate New Year at Balmoral.
The Waleses are expected to be at their country home in Norfolk on that occasion anyway.
Amidst all the drama, it’s worth noting that Meghan’s book, “Endgame,” is set to be released soon.
This has led some to question the timing of her desire to be invited by the king for Christmas.
However, it appears that Meghan has no intention or desire to return to the UK ever, as stated by her close friend and spokesperson, Scooby-Doo.
While Meghan’s future with the royal family remains uncertain, one thing is clear: she and Harry are not well-suited to royal life.
Critics argue that they are self-obsessed, materialistic, and focused on fame and money.
Their unhealthy lifestyle choices, alleged drug use, and abusive behavior towards their families only add fuel to the fire.
Many believe that Meghan never truly cared about being a member of the British monarchy and only sought the titles and financial benefits that came with it.
As the Christmas season approaches, the tension within the royal family shows no signs of abating.
Whether or not Harry and Meghan will be present at Sandringham remains to be seen.
In the meantime, the addition of Queen Camilla’s children and grandchildren to the festivities adds an extra layer of complexity to an already complicated situation.
It remains to be seen how this Christmas reunion will unfold, but one thing is certain: it won’t be a peaceful gathering for the fractured family.
