Although Harry and Meghan were invited to vacation with the royal family at the Queen's mansion in Sandringham, as is royal tradition, they reportedly will not be traveling abroad, according to Page Six magazine.

"Planning the family's Christmas involves a lot of logistics and planning, so of course the staff knows Harry and Meghan won't be coming," a source said. 'If they were, they would have told the family by now.

"But this is Her Majesty's first Christmas without her husband, so it's only natural that she would want to be with them."

According to the Daily Mail, the brothers and their families exchanged Christmas gifts last year, but that was before the family rift widened with the Oprah interview in March 2021. It is not known what the gifts were. The gift to the Cambridges was accompanied by a note to Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte, which Meghan handwrote herself.

Last Christmas, Queen Elizabeth gave Archie a waffle maker, Harry explained on "The Late Show with James Corden."

"He loves it so much. Archie wakes up in the morning and literally says, "Waffles?" he says."
