The Queen’s beloved Christmas celebrations have gone up in smoke as a result of Covid-19. And while Her Majesty was holding out hope that grandson Prince Harry and great-grandchild Archie might visit over the festive season, a royal expert says the chances of this happening are now slim to nil.
Despite the unprecedented royal Christmas, Phil Dampier, author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan in Their Own Words, notes that it actually would have been possible for Harry, 36, and his family to join his grandparents for Christmas – but only if he’d chosen to do so.
“It would have been an ideal opportunity for Harry and Meghan to fly over and spend some quality time with them,” Phil explains.
“If they had come to the UK [earlier], they could have isolated and then stayed safely at [Windsor] Castle. But sadly, we know it’s unlikely Harry will return.”
Back in LA, Harry and Meghan Markle have been preparing for their first family Christmas in their new California mansion. The couple have been sighted splashing out on an array of festive decorations and Christmas trees to deck out the Santa Barbara property.
