Relations between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and senior royals are said to be "near rock bottom" with the couple reportedly snubbing an invitation from King Charles to spend Christmas with the rest of the Royal Family.
Sources told The Mirror that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have "no plans" to join up with the royals, including King Charles III, Prince William and his wife Kate, when they gather at their Sandringham Estate in Norfolk over the festive period. It will be the family's first Christmas since the Queen's death.
The alleged snub comes ahead of the hotly anticipated release of Harry's memoir on January 10 next year. The book is entitled Spare, which is a reference to Harry, 38, growing up in the shadow of his older brother and heir to the throne.
