Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘to extend Christmas olive branch to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’ despite feud
WHILE Prince William and Prince Harry still haven’t repaired their relationship, they haven’t severed ties completely due to a sweet Christmas tradition.
The feuding brothers last spent the festive season together five years ago in 2018, and it hasn’t been confirmed if they will unite this year.
However, William and Harry are said to keep up one Christmas tradition in the spirit of goodwill, for the sake of their children.
Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah claimed last year: “Believe it or not, the Waleses and the Sussexes are exchanging Christmas gifts this year.
“In the absence of goodwill between the couples, William and Kate will not deprive Archie and Lilibet of a present under the tree.
“And in one royal tradition that Team Sussex is still on board with, Harry and Meghan have also dispatched gifts for George, Charlotte and Louis. There will be no presents exchanged between the adults.”
The publication claimed that in 2022 William and Kate sent gifts to California for Archie, four, and Lilibet, two.
Meghan and Harry are said to have done the same for Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.
Every year the royal family flock to Sandringham to spend their Christmas together.
However, it has been claimed the Sussexes have not received an invite from The King this year, The Sunday Times reports.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last spent Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham in 2018 before their acrimonious move to the US.
But now a friend says that the couple want to see more of Charles – who has never spent a Christmas with their children Archie and Lilibet.
Insiders allege The King may invite Harry and Meghan for New Year in Scotland while the Waleses stay at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
Just last week, it was revealed Harry called Charles from his California home to wish his father a happy 75th birthday.
It was the first time the father and son had spoken since April – and sources claim they will now continue to “mend the family rift”.
While Harry, 39, hasn’t seen his dad since Charles’s Coronation in May, despite being in the UK in September, the monarch is said to be keeping the door open for his “dear boy”.
Queen Camilla and Prince William are said to be more wary and have advised Charles to not engage with Harry after he blasted the Royal Family and the UK on Netflix and in Spare.
Harry and Charles reportedly have not spoken face to face since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September last year and it is known the king has previously been reluctant to take Harry’s calls following rows over Megxit and his money.
