King Charles chooses William and Kate over Prince Harry, Meghan Markle

King Charles extending an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to spend Christmas with the royal family may not sit well with Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The royal mill has been abuzz with speculation over whether the Welsh will attend Christmas celebrations at Sandringham if Harry and Meghan are on the guest list.

A royal secret revealed to Daily Mail that an alternative plan may be in the works, suggesting that King Charles could potentially invite Harry and Meghan to visit him in Scotland in the New Year.

This timing will conveniently coincide with the Welsh’s presence at Anmer Hall, their country home in Norfolk.

“He would certainly have the advantage of killing two birds with one stone; extending an olive branch to one son without causing difficulty to the other,” observed the initiate.

While King Charles extended a warm welcome to Prince Harry and his family to stay at the royal estate during their visit to the UK, the absence of a Christmas invitation adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing royal dynamic.

However, insiders warn that traditional Christmas plans at Sandringham are usually finalized by now, as the estate is not particularly spacious and hosting the entire extended family requires meticulous planning.

“It would be a surprise for the Sussexes not to have received an invitation by now, if there was going to be one. New Year’s in Scotland would be more likely,” the insider said.

“But as with anything to do with Harry and Meghan, let’s face it, anything can happen,” the tipster commented.
