Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are allegedly getting ready for another quiet Christmas season away from the royal family, which is kickstarting fresh chatter among royal watchers. Read on for more details.

Back To Montecito?

Royal commentator Neil Sean claimed on his YouTube vlog, Daily News Headlines, on Saturday night, that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to spend Christmas back in California.

Neil said that regarding “the real Christmas,” he was told by a source, “it’s back to Montecito” for the Sussexes.

Last year, the couple spent Christmas at their home in Montecito, California, with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

People Magazine reported that the Sussexes spent Christmas privately at home, but there was “some speculation about whether Harry might return to the U.K. for the holidays.”

Town & Country also noted that the family historically preferred spending the festive season in the USA, keeping a low profile at their California estate instead of joining the traditional royal walk to church in Norfolk.

A Holiday Stateside

Since then, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK and now live in the Cotswolds. Neil noted that any hopes of them attending a royal family gathering this year seem very slim.

The couple hasn’t celebrated the holiday with the royal family at Sandringham since 2018.

A Christmas break across the Atlantic is hardly a shocker at this point.

Viewers React

Royal family followers went to the comment section of Neil’s video to share their thoughts on the reported Montecito holiday plans.

One viewer suggested a different family reunion, commenting, “If they want to do something on Christmas then they should take the kids to meet their other grandfather.”

Here are a few more responses from the discussion:

  • “nobody wants to watch or listen to Harry and Meghan at Christmas, they will be far to busy listening and watching Catherine’s Christmas Carol Concert.”
  • “the best Christmas present Harry could give everyone is their absence and silence.”
  • “Neither H nor MM have a clue what real work, much less a regular job, is. Are their Christmas plans to ruin the holiday for everyone else?”
  • “All I want for Christmas is…for Harry and his wife to go away and disappear. Somehow I think I am going to be disappointed.”

Meanwhile, another commenter predicted upcoming PR moves, saying, “No matter what country they are in, both Harry and Meghan will probably try something at Christmas.”

They speculated that “They will probably try to outsmart William and Catherine. Which will fail because nobody is interested in either one of them.”
