Duchesses to unite for Christmas

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will spend Christmas with the Queen this year.

There has been much speculation about where the two royal couples will celebrate the festive season following continuing rumours of a strained relationship between Meghan and Kate.

But it is understood Harry and his wife will join the Queen and other members of the royal family at Sandringham for Christmas, as will older brother William and Kate.

The royal women have been the subject of a series of media reports claiming there is a rift between the two duchesses.

There have been allegations of a dispute over who reprimands staff, tensions during Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting and claims Harry and Meghan’s move from London to Frogmore House in Berkshire reflects the widening gulf.

Kensington Palace declined to comment.
