A CHRISTMAS REUNION FOR THE SUSSEXES?
They ditched Christmas with their Windsor relatives the past two years to spend time with Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland and to set up their new life. But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be planning to return to the UK this festive period for a very important reason. The pair reportedly approached Buckingham Palace aides to organise a meeting with the Queen so they can introduce the ageing monarch to their second child. Harry, 36, and Meghan, 40, welcomed their daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana – whose unusual moniker was the Queen’s childhood nickname – back in June. While Elizabeth would no doubt love to see the youngster and her older brother Archie, 2, again, palace insiders are said to be astounded by the request. Since relocating to LA, the couple have taken part in a series of bombshell interviews with the US media – where they accused the royals of passing along “genetic pain”.
“Harry and Meghan have made this o er, but a lot of people are shocked by the sheer nerve of it,” a source told British newspaper The Sun. “They may genuinely want to see the Queen but it’s breathtaking, given what they’ve put her through this year,” the source remarked.
While the insider added that palace aides are yet to respond to the request, they are said to be in a real pickle over whether or not to even invite the Sussexes to join the celebrations at Sandringham this year. “In fact, there has also been discussion about Christmas – and whether an invitation should be sent to Harry and Meghan after they spurned one last year,” the source explained.
