Kate Middleton, Prince William, Meghan Markle, Harry Not Staying Together During Christmas

Kate Middleton, Prince William, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be staying together during Christmas.

The royals will reunite at Sandringham to spend the holidays with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. However, the main house is small by royal standards and will not be able to accommodate all the guests. In fact, in recent years, some found themselves sleeping in the servants’ quarters, while others took over cottages on the Norfolk estate.

Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to their home in Anmer Hall. However, the invitation reportedly didn’t work out well and started a ghastly row between the two duchesses.

Charlotte Wace, a royal correspondent for the Mail on Sunday, claimed that Prince William, Middleton, Prince Harry and Markle will not be staying together at the Cambridges' Georgian country house. She added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be housed with other guests and "packed in like sardines" under the Queen’s roof.

On the other hand, Prince William and Middleton will enjoy a spacious and peaceful stay at their extensively refurbished home with their kids, 5-year-old Prince George, 3-year-old Princess Charlotte and 8-month-old Prince Louis. Wace added that Anmer Hall would have provided the pregnant Markle a more comfortable stay.

Previous reports claimed that Prince Harry and Markle had already rejected Prince William and Middleton’s invitation to stay at their home amid their rumored rift. An insider revealed that they won’t be repeating last year’s sleeping arrangements.

According to royal commentator Phil Dampier, if the fab four’s beef will continue, it will be very damaging for the monarchy. He said he believes that major rifts that don’t heal and carry on for years will be devastating, both for the royal family and the future of the monarchy.

On the other hand, royal author Katie Nicholl believes that the royals will bury the hatchet. She also noted that Prince Harry and Prince William remain incredibly close as brothers. They might use this holiday season to mend their issues as Christmas is a “good time for goodwill and forgiveness.”
