He doesn’t want to give up this custom. In 2020, Prince Harry (39) and his wife Meghan (42) turned their backs on the British royal family. Together with their children Lilibet (2) and Archie (4), the couple emigrated to America and built a new life there. Christmas is just around the corner in a few days. For the celebration of love, Harry still maintains a royal tradition…
His memoir “Reserve,” published in January, reveals that Harry’s family exchanges gifts on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day – as is customary in Germany. “We watched Archie running around the tree,” the 39-year-old writes in his book, adding: “We opened presents. In keeping with the tradition of the Windsor family.”
But what about King Charles III? (75) to celebrate the upcoming holidays without his son and grandchildren? “I think he was [in diesem Jahr] so busy and exhausted that he […] “I’m probably a bit relieved,” royal author Ingrid Seward revealed to Hello!. In addition, the already tense relationship between Charles and Harry wouldn’t exactly contribute to the contemplative mood: “At least he’s spared an unpleasant atmosphere.”
