It will be a joyous Christmas for Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle — they will be spending their first holiday with the latest addition to the family — baby Lilibet Diana.
It appears that Prince William plans to make it a bit more special by reaching out to the independent royal couple via a kind gesture.
Kate Middleton and Prince William to spread some Christmas cheers in California
The once fabulous four now have a complicated relationship. Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, have remained in England as they prepare for the roles of their lives — they are the future King and Queen of England.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have quit their royal duties to be independent. They earn incomes and are free to speak on matters normally prohibited to members of the British royal family.
The duo caused a frenzy in the Palace walls by meddling in politics and tackling social issues. They also rattled feathers and made many furious with their controversial interviews.
The move to California and bombshell revelations have caused the Cambridges and the Sussexes to drift apart.
Kate Middleton and Prince William will be making a peace offering this Christmas to their former neighbors.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and the American philanthropist will be receiving gifts for their young children — Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor from the Cambridges.
According to a royal expert, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will look beyond the drama to spread holiday cheers for their niece and nephew in California.
In an interview with OK!, royal expert and author Katie Nicholl was asked if Kate Middleton and Prince William will be buying Archie and Lilibet presents, and she said: “Yes, of course.”
She added: “They give gifts to the whole family, and that includes all of their nieces and nephews.”
Prince William and his wife have yet to meet their niece, Lilibet, born in June of 2021.

Her Majesty had invited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to spend the holidays in England, but they have declined, fearing they will cause a media frenzy during the trip.
A source told Page Six: “There’s a lot that goes into the logistics and the planning of the family Christmas, so of course, the staff knows that Harry and Meghan are not coming.”
Is this an olive branch from Prince William after ignoring Prince Harry’s phone calls?
The kind gesture is seen as an olive branch from Prince William, who has been ignoring his younger brother’s phone calls.
Royal author Christopher Andersen explained that Prince William is upset over the truth bombs dropped by Prince Harry — especially the racism accusations linked to Prince Charles and has decided to punish his brother.
The writer claimed: “There’s a lot of bad blood between them now. It’s really Charles and William versus Harry and Meghan. William is fiercely loyal to his father. He thinks his father is a great historical figure who has been underestimated. And he feels for his dad. They all love the queen, but when you’re maybe going to be king when you’re almost 80 years old, it’s a sad position to be in. So William has been by his father’s side.”
He went on to say: “William is not returning Harry’s phone calls and hasn’t for months. Charles and Harry have not spoken at all.”
Observers say if confirmed, this is a step in the right direction.
