Where to spend Christmas is a common dilemma for couples – and one that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently said to find themselves in. A source has told OK! that Prince Harry and Meghan are said to be divided over locations – causing a potential Christmas crisis for the couple.

As the countdown to Christmas begins, the Royal Family will surely be excited to be heading to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. And while we can expect the whole clan to gather together, it is not expected that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join the family. While this is the case, a source has told OK! that an invitation was extended to the couple but that Prince Harry and Meghan are said to be divided over locations – causing a potential Christmas crisis for the couple.

Several members of the Royal Family have hugely important official styles that date back centuries - whether it is the Prince of Wales or the Duchess of Edinburgh. Looking ahead to the future, three of King Charles' grandchildren are expected to carry many different titles in their lifetimes, some of which hold huge historical and political importance.

Members of the Royal Family are notorious for their funny tradition of buying each other joke gifts at Christmas, with previous presents including a leather toilet seat, a 'grown your own girlfriend kit' and even a shower cap which had “Ain’t life a b****”. While these gifts are supposed to be bizarre, there is one present that was gifted by the Princess of Wales that made for a sentimental break with tradition. Kate spoke about giving this gift to her grandmother-in-law and the nerves she felt at the time.

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the State Opening of Parliament during the week, which was the first visit of their reign.

The late Queen Elizabeth was known for her witty sense of humour and iconic one-liners which helped her connect with members of the public throughout her historical 70 year reign.

his tell-all memoir “Spare,” and his and wife Meghan Markle’s Netflix documentary, “Harry & Meghan.”And it seems as though his words cut deep, as the monarch is still picking up the pieces 5,459 miles away.“Has His Majesty made mistakes when it comes to parenting? Yes,” a source told Daily Mail. “Would he privately admit he could have done some things better, or at least differently? Of course.”“But while I am sure they still don’t agree on everything all the time, he and the Prince of Wales are firmly united now around a common shared interest, which is to keep the institution in a place where it can serve the nation,” the insider went on.“This was happening anyway as the late Queen got older, but there’s no doubt what happened with Harry brought everything into sharp relief.”The source added that Charles feels “great pain” over his heavily-strained relationship with Harry, and that there’s been “barely any level of communication” between the two camps.“There is undeniable anger at the anguish the King believes Harry caused the late Queen in the last years of her life, not to mention the insults he has heaped upon his own wife Camilla, of whom Charles is understandably protective,” he added.The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.It comes after royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams claimed that Harry simply “doesn’t care” about not being invited to his dad’s upcoming birthday celebration next week.The Sussexes reportedly didn’t make it on to the guest list for His Majesty’s upcoming 75th birthday gathering at Clarence House on November 14.“I really don’t think Harry cares about not being invited to his father’s 75th.

Prince George was notably absent from his grandfather King Charles' first State Opening of Parliament speech as monarch this week.

King Charles is bringing a new and fresh aspect to his role as monarch as he is a "far less formal" head of state than his late mother was, according to a royal historian.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have an incredibly close knit circle of friends who have been in their lives ever since their school days and time at university. Many of the most trusted members of their group have been honoured by the couple when they were asked to become a godparent to either Prince George, Princess Charlotte or Prince Louis. One person who makes this list is Emilia Jardine-Paterson.

Whenever the King and Queen appear in public, they are always drawing attention to the many charitable causes that occupy a special place in their hearts - be it helping young people, the environment, promoting literature or supporting domestic abuse survivors. As well as tirelessly dedicating their time to supporting the good work of others, the couple are always surrounded by their team of devoted members of staff.

The late Queen was never short of one-liners, quick responses, and cheeky comments, and her wicked sense of humour allowed her to connect with members of the public throughout her long reign. But one of her most famous jokes wasn't very flattering to her eldest son, King Charles, when he welcomed his first son, Prince William, at St Mary's Hospital in London on June 21, 1982. While you would imagine that a grandmother would be full of nothing but joy at the new addition to her family, the late monarch couldn't help but pull a few jokes and poked fun at one family trait the new baby didn't appear to have inherited.

It has long been said that Windsor Castle is the most haunted of all the royal residences with over 25 reported experiences of ghosts and spirits - but it isn't the only famous home that has reports of paranormal activity.There is one home on the vast Sandringham Estate in Norfolk that was never lived in by the late Queen, despite the significant connections it holds to her relatives. There may be a reason for this, however, as it has long been said there is one historic resident who may be outstaying his welcome.The royal in question was involved in a number of scandals during his lifetime and would have been King if a tragedy hadn't happened.

Among the many countless and unbelievable stories in the Royal Family's history, are accounts of a boy breaking into Buckingham Palace to steal Queen Victoria's underwear and an heir to the throne being accused of being Jack the Ripper. But when it comes to the most unexpected spooky tale, it would have to be the rumour that a ghost named 'Peter the Wild Boy' haunted Prince Louis' former nursery at Kensington Palace. While the story has a very unique spin to it, there have been many reports of ghostly reappearances at Kensington Palace - including sightings by recent members of the Royal Family.

It has often been said that Windsor Castle is the most haunted of all the royal residences, with over 25 reported experiences with ghosts and spirits. These claims include sightings of Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII and King George III, and even the late Queen admitted to witnessing at least one ghostly encounter.

When it comes to buying a present for the person who has everything, what do you get? The Royal Family are notorious for their funny tradition of buying each other gag gifts at Christmas time, with previous presents including a leather toilet seat, a 'grown your own girlfriend kit' and even a shower cap which had “Ain’t life a b****”. While these gifts are supposed to be utterly bizarre, there is one present that Prince William bought for Kate in the early days of their relationship that she has apparently never let him forget.The Prince of Wales revealed what the strange present was on a podcast with Peter Crouch.

Kate Middleton's brother James Middleton has become a father after welcoming his first child wife with Alizée. On Tuesday, October 24, the 36 year old was spotted pushing his newborn - whose gender is yet to be revealed - in a pram on a walk with, French financier Alizée, 33, in Notting Hill.

Although the royals can afford personal chefs to whip up the very best meals, they don’t rely on professional help all the time.The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex are known to be highly nifty in the kitchen, and Michelle Thole, from the Keeping Up With The Windsors podcast, says: “We’ve seen many times that they are both into cooking. It’s not necessarily about dishing up cordon bleu-style food, just regular stuff for their families. It means we relate to them more.” Princes William and Harry are also willing to pitch in, and Harry presented Meghan with a three-course dinner for her 39th birthday in 2019.
