King Charles’ Christmas Plans With the Royal Family

King Charles is gearing up for his second Christmas as the monarch, and this year, his son, Prince Harry, won’t be joining the festivities at Sandringham. Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are expected to celebrate Christmas in California, changing the usual royal family holiday tradition.
A Potential Sense of Relief
Reflecting on this, royal author Ingrid Seward shares that King Charles might actually feel somewhat relieved about not spending Christmas with Prince Harry and his family. Seward says Christmas can get really busy and crazy, and since the King has been super busy and tired this year, it might be hard for him to pay attention to everyone during all the holiday excitement.

Reflections on Past Christmases
Seward also remembers the times when Princess Diana and Prince Charles were not together during Christmas. She says it was quite tense back then, and when Diana went away, things got better.
Drawing from these experiences, Seward says maybe Christmas isn’t the best time for King Charles to hang out with his grandkids. You know, with all the hustle and bustle, it might be hard for him to really focus and have good times with them.
Maintaining Close Relationships
Even though King Charles can’t be there in person for Christmas with Prince Harry and Meghan’s kids, he really wants to stay close to them. When Archie was a baby, he lived in the UK for a while before they all moved to California. But King Charles only got to meet little Lilibet in the summer of 2022 when they came to celebrate the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Cherished Times With Grandkids
These visits have been special for the King, providing him with precious moments with his grandchildren. Reports suggest that when Prince Harry’s family visited, Charles and Camilla were thrilled to spend time with Archie, whom the King hadn’t seen for a while. Meeting Lilibet for the first time was described as a very emotional and wonderful experience for King Charles.
Staying Connected Across Distances
Even though the physical distance separates them, the Sussex family has found ways to stay connected with King Charles. In May, during Charles’ coronation, Prince Harry celebrated Archie’s fourth birthday at Buckingham Palace. It was a big moment because it was the first time Prince Harry met his family again after his TV show and book came out. The family reunion was special and important for them.
Heartfelt Gestures From Across the Ocean

In another heartfelt gesture, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet sent a recorded video singing Happy Birthday to their grandfather in November. This thoughtful present, along with a birthday call from Prince Harry and a conversation with Meghan Markle, emphasized the ongoing family connections despite the geographical distance.
Family Ties Remain Strong
As King Charles prepares for a Christmas without Prince Harry and his family, it’s evident that these family ties remain strong. The dynamics of royal family celebrations reveal the challenges of balancing tradition, duty, and personal connections during the festive season. While Christmas this year may be different for King Charles, the warmth of family moments and connections transcends the physical distance.
