While Meghan spent Christmas privately at home, senior members of the Royal Family—including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children—attended the traditional Christmas Day church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. They later greeted crowds of well-wishers and sat down for a formal family lunch, typically featuring roast turkey.
Online Criticism and Rumors of Separation
The contrast between the two celebrations fueled online commentary, with critics describing Meghan’s holiday as “lonely” and accusing her of denying Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet time with their royal relatives.
Some went further, speculating that Meghan and Harry may be living separately.
“They were alone Christmas Eve… and will be alone Christmas Day. No mention of friends and laughter throughout last night or talk of family Christmas dinner,” one critic wrote.
Another commented, “Can you imagine how they’ve denied that life to their kids?? I would be [livid] if I were Archie and Lili and learned all about this in the future.”
