Kate Middleton and Prince William’s usual royal Christmas tradition could reportedly overlap with the Sussexes’ charity plans. A source allegedy claimed that the Sussexes are waiting for Middleton to announce the date of her event before making an official announcement about their Christmas plans. Middleton is reportedly hesitant to reveal the date because she does not want Harry and Meghan’s sudden appearance to take attention away from her event.
How the Sussexes’ rumored charity plans overlap with Kate’s royal tradition
A source claimed that a clash between the Sussexes and the Waleses over their Christmas plans could be on the horizon. They referred to Middleton’s annual carol service at Westminster Abbey in London overlapping with the Sussexes’ own charity plans for the Christmas season. They added that the Sussexes have yet to announce their plans and are waiting for Middleton to reveal the date of her event first.
The source said, “This makes Kate suspicious. They claimed that there’s a rumor that “she doesn’t want to confirm her date and then find the Sussexes suddenly appearing at another high-profile event and attracting all the headlines.” They mentioned that Middleton likes Christmas, and this event holds immense value for her.
“She’s heard that Harry and Meghan are looking to do some festive events with their charities, potentially around the same time – and she’s made it clear she’s not happy. She feels this is her moment and doesn’t want it turning into another competition between the two couples,” the insider stated (via The News International).
This update comes a few days after former royal butler Grant Harrold claimed that Middleton and William are “breathing a sigh of relief” over the Sussexes’ alleged US Christmas plans. “It’s very different to being poker face in public, it is awkward with family. It would have been such a difficult time,” he said.
