Duke and Duchess’ holiday hopes dashed amid explosive Scobie tell-all

Amid swirling rumors of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s festive season plans, it seems their homecoming dreams have been crushed. The highly anticipated Christmas reunion with the Royal Family has been jeopardized, and insiders point fingers at the aftermath of Omid Scobie’s revelatory new book, “Endgame.”

The whispers of Harry and Meghan’s Yuletide return gained momentum, marking what could have been their first Christmas with the royals since 2018. However, a twist of fate, or rather, a twist of the royal decree, allegedly orchestrated by King Charles, suggests the couple’s festive plans have taken a nosedive following Scobie’s literary bombshell.

The last time the Sussexes shared the Christmas cheer with senior royals was in 2018, shortly after their grand wedding in Windsor. Speculation arose that they might grace Sandringham with their presence this year, offering a thawing glimpse into Harry’s relationship with his father, King Charles.

Enter royal expert Richard Eden, who hints at possible dismay within the royal ranks towards Scobie. “I suspect that they [Harry and Meghan] are probably annoyed with Scobie as the rest of the Royal Family,” he speculated, suggesting a correlation between the book’s release and the abrupt withdrawal of any potential royal invitation.

Despite recent attempts by the Sussexes to mend fences with King Charles, including a birthday phone call in November, it appears the royal olive branch might not extend to an invitation to Sandringham. Eden suggests that any such invitation could likely be a case of too little, too late.

In 2019, while still senior royals, Meghan and Harry opted for a Christmas in America with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. The couple’s move to the US in 2020 marked a shift away from the royal scene. However, whispers of a potential royal reunion during the festive season stirred excitement, only to be quelled by the latest developments.

The couple, now residing in Montecito, California, have yet to reveal their final decision on where they’ll spend the holidays. Speculation looms as to whether Hollywood glamour will outshine the traditional royal festivities.

As the saga unfolds, rumors swirl about the Sussexes’ eagerness to remain connected to the royal fold. A source claims, “While Meghan would, of course, prefer Christmas in Montecito, she also knows that the longer they go without being part of the family, and with all their projects, it’s their currency. She knows their royal connection is vital to their survival in Hollywood.”

With no official invitations received thus far, the fate of Harry and Meghan’s Christmas plans hangs in the balance, leaving fans on both sides of the Atlantic eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this royal drama. Stay tuned for more updates on the unfolding festive saga.
