The Duchess of Cambridge fears that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could unexpectedly "gatecrash" the festivities, leading to a potential royal 'showdown' amid rumors of a reconciliation with King Charles.
According to sources, the future Queen Consort hopes to avoid any reunion with Harry and Meghan during the holiday season.
Insiders suggest that Kate "wouldn't put it past" Meghan and her family to arrive uninvited, anticipating a possible royal confrontation.
Speculations abound that Meghan, the former Hollywood actress, is "eager" for Prince Harry to mend fences with his father and brother, and Kate is anxious about the prospect of it happening during the festive period.
"There's so much uncertainty about the plans, which is causing a lot of unease. Kate is feeling stressed and on edge," said insiders to Closer.
The sources, reportedly close to the Princess, shared, "Kate simply desires a peaceful family Christmas without drama. If Harry and Meghan show up uninvited, it would upset her."
There are claims that William is also uneasy about a potential encounter with his younger brother, and the royal family, known for presenting a united front on Christmas Day, is facing potential disruptions.
Another expert suggests that Meghan and Harry are eager to return to the family fold, hoping Charles will allow their children, Archie and Lilibet, to spend the festive season with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
