Duke of Sussex faces tough decision as tensions rise over holiday plans
Prince Harry has reportedly received a stern ultimatum from Meghan Markle as tensions grow over their Christmas plans. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been spending more time apart due to their divergent professional paths, are now facing a personal rift about how to spend the upcoming festive season.
Insiders reveal that Harry is eager to spend Christmas in the UK, hoping to reconnect with his royal family, especially his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. However, Meghan is pushing for the couple to stay in their Montecito home, where they have lived with their children since 2020.
"It’s been weighing on Harry that he hasn’t seen his father since February after Charles' cancer diagnosis, and he feels a strong urge to return to his homeland," a source told Closer. However, the Duchess is reportedly against any visit to the UK, especially during Christmas.
Meghan has made it clear to Harry that he must choose between spending the holidays with the royal family or staying in the US with her and their children. This ultimatum adds pressure to their already scrutinized marriage, leaving Harry in a difficult position as he seeks to restore ties with his family while balancing the demands of his wife.
Meghan, who has not visited the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, has not celebrated Christmas in London for six years, further complicating the couple’s decision on where to spend the festive season.
