However, Hello! claims that their time out may not be spent Stateside, as originally thought.

The magazine “understands” the couple may decide to spend the festive period at their Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor with Doria.

The break comes at a good time for the couple, who were recently told to “slow down” by Buckingham Palace aides.
