Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to spend Christmas with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, according to reporting on their holiday arrangements. A friend of the couple has separately said they are not expecting an invitation to join the Royal Family's traditional celebrations at Sandringham.
The reported plans centre on Ragland's preferences, with California a possible destination rather than a confirmed itinerary. The friend's comments describe the couple's expectations; they do not establish that Buckingham Palace has decided against inviting them.
