Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have declared that Christmas is not the time for fuzzy family feelings.
A nasty war is brewing between Prince Harry and the Royal Family, and King Charles III made a gracious move as his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did — he reached out with an invitation.
The entire Royal Family will join King Charles for the Christmas holiday. Keeping up with royal traditions, the King and his relatives will gather at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for a warm and jolly time.
Prince Harry and Markle and their young children — Archie and Lilibet Diana — were invited to spend some time in England, and they rapidly responded with a loud no.
It has been reported by several media outlets that King Charles is looking for ways to have better relationships with his son and daughter-in-law — because he loves them and is fearful of the damage they can potentially do to his reign and the monarchy.
A royal insider told The Mirror: “Prince Harry will not spend Christmas with the royals after fresh details emerged from his explosive memoir.”
The person close to the royals also claimed that the snub from Markle and Prince all but confirmed that the relationship is “near rock bottom.”
The source claimed that King Charles and others are disappointed because the invitation gave hope that “there would be a thawing of relations” between the warring relatives after the Queen‘s death.”
King Charles and his family are set to have an uncomfortable Christmas ahead of Prince Harry’s tell-all book’s global release on January 10.
The memoir Spare is confirmed to have some details about Prince Harry and his relatives that will be excruciating even for him to bear.
A source told The Sun that the memoir went back and forth between Prince Harry and the publishing company because they needed him to give more and more of himself.
The source stated: “The book has been back and forth between Harry and [ghost writer] JR Moehringer and the publishers a few times. They wanted more than was in the first draft, and then Harry wanted to refine things after the Queen passed away. But there has been extra toing and froing that people don’t know about. This is because the publishers wanted more areas covered and more detail on some things that were already included. There is a real concern that that means Harry has had to sex up the book and include revelations that even he might not even be that comfortable with.”
While Prince Harry skipped the London Christmas party, he will be flying home in January to promote the book.
