It's going to be a tough Christmas for the royal family, and there will be many loved ones missing from the dinner table this year. Of course no absence will be felt more than that of the late Queen, who passed away earlier this year, but the Sussex family will also be skipping this year's festivities.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle along with their children Archie and Lilibet will stay in California rather than join up with King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales at the family's Sandringham estate next week.
It comes off the back of Harry and Meghan's explosive Netflix docuseries, during which they complained about their treatment when they were working members of the royal family.
