Royals confirm Christmas plans just minutes after Meghan and Harry reveal ANOTHER Netflix show

The royal family has confirmed their plans for Christmas Day as they prepare for their first festive season without the late Queen.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will be joined by other members of the royal family for a morning church service in Sandringham.

It's likely to be an emotional occasion for the family, who are still mourning the loss of their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

While the full list of attendees is yet to be confirmed, it's likely that Prince William and Princess Kate, along with their children, will be there.

The news came just minutes after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed another show with Netflix, less than a week after their bombshell docuseries, and released a trailer for it.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will present a new documentary series called Live To Lead. The trailer for the series, which premieres on December 31, features footage of Nelson Mandela and climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

According to Netflix, the series will see leaders and activists "reflect on their legacies and share messages of courage, compassion, humility [and] hope".

It comes as Christmas is a huge date in the royal family's diary, with the late Queen and Prince Philip at the centre of celebrations in years gone by.

The family reportedly share jokey presents - with Kate previously buying Harry a 'Grow Your Own Girlfriend' kit before he met Meghan.

The pandemic forced the family to move their celebrations to Windsor, but they will now return to Sandringham.

This Christmas will see Charles give his first King's speech, and he's likely to pay tribute to his late mother with his words.

The royals kicked off their festival celebrations last week with Kate's second annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey.

Taking place on the same day as Meghan and Harry's Netflix show dropped, the royals were out in force to support the princess.

As well as the seniors members of the family, Prince George and Princess Charlotte walked into the event hand-in-hand with their parents. The Middleton family also attended.

Many of the royal guests arrived in matching maroon outfits, including Kate, Charlotte, Pippa Middleton and Zara Tindall.

Both Buckingham and Kensington Palace have remained silent over Harry’s allegations that the Prince of Wales left his brother terrified after screaming and shouting at him during the Sandringham summit.

Harry also claimed in his controversial six-part series that Kensington Palace “lied to protect my brother” when it issued a statement denying a story William had bullied him out of the royal family.

And he accused Charles of lying at the tense Megxit crisis meeting with the Queen in January 2020.

Harry also claimed his brother’s office, Kensington Palace, traded negative stories just like his father’s had in the past, saying it was “heartbreaking” to see something he and William promised they would “never ever do” taking place.
