Despite speculations and hopes for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to return to the UK for the festive season, the California-based couple chose to stay away from the family's gathering at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
While King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, their children, and other senior royals presented a united front to celebrate Christmas, the absence of Harry and Meghan left some royal fans heartbroken.
The brothers, Prince William and Harry, who share sweet childhood memories, have been in conflict for the past few years. Fans eagerly anticipated a Christmas reunion, with some creating imaginary photos depicting the emotional moment of their possible reconciliation. However, the dream of seeing William and Harry together did not materialize this year.
Princess Diana, the late mother of the royal duo, had envisioned her boys always supporting each other. Unfortunately, this dream appears impossible amid the ongoing feud between the two brothers.
On a positive note, a royal expert praised the Sussexes for skillfully handling Christmas by choosing to remain in the US to celebrate the festive period with their children. Clive Irving, in conversation with Express UK, remarked, "Harry has his own family now, so that gives him a great deal of stability and contentment."
