Prince Harry and Meghan are returning to the US for holly, jolly reason

London , UK - Since their return to the UK, one question has remained unanswered: Where will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spend the holidays this year? The Sussexes have apparently made a decision.

To stay in their new UK home for the holidays or to travel back to their former home in Montecito? Until now, Harry and Meghan apparently couldn’t agree on an answer to this pressing question.

According to reports by the Daily Mail, the dispute has been settled: the couple plans to spend Christmas with their children, Archie and Lilibet, in California.

A source told the outlet that the family will sit together under the tree on Christmas with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, and celebrate the holiday in humble, homey fashion.

It appears the Suits actor has won out over her husband, as Harry reportedly wanted to stay in England to avoid sending the wrong public message. At the same time, he is said to have hoped for an invitation to the royal celebrations.

The Duke of Sussex was originally supposed to plan visits to both the Spencers, his late mother Diana’s family (†36), and his father King Charles III over the holidays. However, that now looks unlikely.

According to an insider, it won’t be limited to a Christmas-time trip, either.

During upcoming school breaks and beyond, the Sussexes apparently plan on flying back to the USA or to Portugal, where the family also owns property.
