The Prince and Princess of Wales, currently at odds with the Sussexes, could express their discontent if the 75-year-old monarch chooses to prioritize Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over them.
This intention came to light after Harry reportedly called the monarch to extend birthday wishes earlier this month, ending a six-month stalemate between father and son.
However, a source close to William and Kate revealed, "Future King William and his wife Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, have already discussed Christmas plans with the King." The source added a cautionary note, stating, "If anything goes awry, it may trigger a surprising reaction from the Waleses."
While Prince William may show some understanding toward his brother and display obedience to his father, Kate is said to have firmly decided not to forgive them for their persistent attacks against her, according to the insider.
The potential invitation to Meghan and Harry, along with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, could cause significant upset for William and Kate, setting the stage for a tense Christmas within the royal family.
