Harry and Meghan have the sweetest Thanksgiving plans with Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

While the royal family's festive plans have not yet been confirmed, it is believed that the Queen is determined to reunite her family and host a traditional royal Christmas.

However, a source told Page Six that Harry and Meghan would not be joining the royals at Sandringham this year, claiming: 'There’s a lot that goes into the logistics and the planning of the family Christmas, so of course, staff know that Harry and Meghan are not coming.

'If they were, they would have communicated it to their family by now.

'But this is Her Majesty’s first Christmas without her husband, so one would have hoped they would want to be with her.'

While the couple has not commented on their Christmas plans, Meghan did speak about how she will be spending Thanksgiving this year during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen Show.
