Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to spend Christmas with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito, California, rather than at Sandringham with the rest of the Royal Family. This decision comes despite their recent move back to the UK in August 2023 after six years away. Meghan has launched a luxury £112 Christmas advent calendar inspired by her California home as part of her As Ever brand.

Story summary
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to spend Christmas 2025 back in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, instead of joining the rest of the royal family at Sandringham, as claimed by a friend. The couple relocated to the UK at the end of August but have retained their Montecito mansion. This decision comes after they stepped down from active royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US. Christmas could have offered an opportunity for them to mend strained relationships with Harry's father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William. However, Doria Ragland, Meghan's mother who lives near Los Angeles, will be nearby during their holiday. The Sussexes are reportedly considering spending school breaks in either California or Portugal, where they also own property.
