Where will Meghan and Harry spend Christmas?

Harry and Meghan are expected to spend Christmas 2020 at their Montecito, California estate.

The Duke and Duchess purchased their sprawling Santa Barbara home this spring.

Here they live with their young son Archie, and it has been widely reported that Meghan’s mother Doria has been staying with them as well.

A source told Marie Claire that Harry and Meghan want a quiet Christmas at home this year.

The source added: “Meghan very much wants to host the first Christmas at their new home with her mum.”

Will this be Prince Harry’s first American Christmas?

2020 is believed to be the first ever Christmas Prince Harry has spent in America.

For Christmas 2019, he spent the holidays with his family at their then rented Vancouver Island, Canada home.

When did Meghan spend Christmas with The Queen?

Meghan and Harry spent Christmas with The Queen and the British Royal Family at Sandringham in 2017 and then again in 2018.

But for the first time in 33 years, The Queen won’t be spending Christmas at her beloved Sandringham estate. Due to COVID restrictions, Buckingham Palace confirmed she and Prince Philip plan a ‘quiet’ Christmas at Windsor Castle instead.
