Charles and Camilla are planning to throw a huge party at Sandringham this year for what will be the family's first Christmas without the Queen - but Harry and Meghan aren't on the invites list.
The gathering is thought to be one of the biggest the Royals have thrown in several years since the last two Christmases were hampered by the pandemic.
Guests will include the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis, and Zara Tindall with husband and I'm A Celeb star Mike Tindall.
For the first time Camilla will have her children, Tom Parker-Bowles and Laura Lopes joining them for the festive celebrations, which contain a much wider-than-usual circle of relations.
Meanwhile even disgraced Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have reportedly been invited, despite the former Duke being stripped of his titles and duties as a working Royal after the scandal surrounding his involvement with abusers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, will also be at the Norfolk gathering, as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and their partners and young children.
It's understood the family are planning to all walk to the morning church service together as a show of unity.
But fifth in line to the throne Harry won't be joining the large party this year, after an ongoing rift deepens following the launch of Harry and Meghan's Netflix series and looming book release.
The 'explosive' docuseries hit the streaming platform this month, containing various allegations about life inside and having left the Royal family.
Family members including Harry's brother William were said to be "furious" about the show, particularly with the use of a clip from Diana's infamous Panorama interview.
Harry's memoir, Spare, meanwhile is due to hit the shelves in January containing more inside information about his growing up in The Firm.
A source at Sandringham Palace, where the Royals traditionally have spent Christmas, told The Sun: “Camilla is keen that her family are at the heart of Christmas, particularly as Charles won’t have his youngest son there.
“It is an extremely important Christmas coming just months after they last all gathered for the Queen’s funeral.
“During last Christmas the family were desperately trying to sort out Prince Andrew and his sex abuse case and then there was the incident with the intruder carrying a crossbow at Windsor Castle.
“We saw the togetherness at the Princess of Wales’s carol concert this week and Christmas will be held in the same spirit.”
