Prince Harry will not be joining his father Charles or his brother William for Christmas in the UK, according to the latest revelations from Omid Scobie's explosive book, Endgame.
Christmas Plans
Instead of spending the holiday with his immediate family, Charles will be celebrating at Sandringham in the company of other royals, including Queen Camilla's children and grandchildren.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are expected to celebrate Christmas in California with their children Archie and Lilibet, as reported by Tatler.
Last month, a source revealed to the Telegraph that it was highly unlikely for Harry and Meghan to decline an invitation to Sandringham. In 2018, the couple was part of the "fab four" along with Prince William and Princess Kate when they last celebrated Christmas at the Norfolk estate.
A New Guest List
This year, the Sandringham guest list will include Camilla's son Tom, her daughter Laura, and her grandchildren Lola, Eliza, Louis, Gus, and Freddy. Camilla's devotion to her grandchildren was evident when she stitched their names into her Coronation dress in May.
Charles has a close relationship with Camilla's side of the family, which is why he chose to invite them even as Harry stays away.
Endgame Drama
Relations between Harry and Charles have reportedly soured following the bombshell revelations in Omid Scobie's book, Endgame. Early copies of the book's Dutch edition suggested that Kate and Charles were the two royals who made remarks about the skin color of Harry and Meghan's first child, Archie.
Despite this, Harry broke six months of silence to call King Charles and wish him a happy birthday. Charles is also said to have spoken with Meghan during the transatlantic call.
Controversy and Criticism
Recently, Piers Morgan criticized Harry as "ruthless and greedy" after the royal was awarded £140,600 in his legal battle against the Mirror's publisher for phone hacking.
According to Harry's friend James Haskell, the prince was still quite fun before meeting Meghan, as reported by the Mail.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the matter.
