Reason Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned their wedding gifts revealed

The Mirror. However, the scribe believes Harry and Markle will make a more concerted effort with the King in 2024.

They've just spent another Christmas in the US, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be set to finally reunite with the Royal Family in 2024, a royal expert has claimed. Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, moved to America after stepping down as senior Royals in 2020 and their relationship with the Firm, most notably King Charles and Prince William, has only become more strained.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly "furious" following a Christmas snub from the Royal Family, leaving them certain they wanted to go on their "own path".

A moment from Christmas in 2019 was said to have convinced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that the "entire institution" was against them during their time working in the Royal Family due to an "unspoken code". While there were a number of causes which ultimately contributed to their departure, it has been said that one key moment was the "final straw" and "tipped them over the edge" to step back from their roles within The Firm.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Christmases have been different since they left the royal family in 2020. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex last spent the festive period with the Royal Family on the Sandringham Estate in 2018. A year later, they decided to celebrate in America with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland before stepping back from The Firm in 2020 and permanently moving to the States.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's hopes of a Christmas reunion in the UK have been dashed due to fresh drama. Fans were hoping that 2023 might be the year the couple would patch things up with the rest of the Royal Family and spend Christmas at Sandringham. In recent months, there have been whispers from sources close to Harry and Meghan suggesting they were keen on spending the festive season with their extended family in Britain.

Far from the world of royal banquets and formal regal traditions, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prefer a more low-key Christmas these days. Since moving to balmy Montecito in California in March 2020, Harry, Meghan and their two children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two, have opted for relaxed festive celebrations on their luxury five-acre estate. “We’re probably talking barbecues and walks on the beach for the Sussexes rather than obligatory black-tie dinners and pheasant shoots at Sandringham,” says royal expert Duncan Larcombe.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "might not be included" in King Charles III's Christmas tradition, according to reports. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to the States, have rarely returned to the UK since, and have been absent from every single Christmas at Sandringham since 2018.

But even if the decision was made, a leading royal expert has spoken to OK! about why any move like that would not be pushed by King Charles as he would not want to appear "vindictive". Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explained: "The bill put forward by Bob Seely hasn’t been selected for the Private Members Bill ballot so it’s not going anywhere at the moment.
