Prince Harry reportedly agreed reluctantly to Meghan Markle’s Christmas plans. According to a source, the Duke of Sussex tried to convince his wife to spend the holidays in the UK, but she didn’t budge. Although he may be disappointed by her blunt rejection, he would allegedly be “saving face” by “putting on a united front.” It was reported that the Sussexes would fly to California to celebrate the occasion with Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Christmas plans reportedly did not include spending it in the UK. Reportedly, the “Spare” author wanted to celebrate in his home country and hoped to see King Charles.
But the “Suits” alum has allegedly been adamant about flying back to the US for the holidays, fearing “humiliation.” Meanwhile, a source told Closer that the Duke would go along with his wife’s decision, but with a “heavy heart.”
They claimed Harry was hoping to meet his father during the holidays, but Markle wouldn’t “budge.” “She cannot bear the idea of struggling through a phony Christmas with the royal family. She’s going home and Harry has agreed to it to make her happy – but he did it with a heavy heart.”
However, Harry allegedly fears they could face criticism for this decision. He likely doesn’t want to give anyone the impression that they might plan to return to California.
According to the insider, the father of two has reportedly been putting on a “united front.” “He’s saving face and telling people this was always the plan, but everyone knows he had his heart set on an English Christmas.”
Moreover, Harry might not want his father to think that the Sussexes have been going in and out of Britain “whenever it suits him.” While he allegedly still hopes to change his wife’s mind, Markle’s decision seems unwavering.
