Sussexes Opt for a Quiet Holiday Season Stateside


A Contrast to Royal Family Celebrations in the UK


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, are celebrating the festive season with a quiet and cozy Christmas at their home in California. This holiday marks another year that the couple has chosen to spend away from the traditional celebrations with the wider royal family in the United Kingdom.


Focusing on Family in Montecito


The Sussexes' Christmas plans center on a private, family

  • focused gathering. Their celebration is a world away from the public appearances and church walkabouts typically associated with the British monarchy during this time. The couple is enjoying the holidays with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at their Montecito residence.


Building New Holiday Traditions


Since stepping back from their roles as senior royals and relocating to the United States, Meghan and Harry have been establishing their own holiday traditions. Their California Christmas reflects their current life, emphasizing privacy and a relaxed atmosphere. While specific details of their celebrations remain private, the approach is consistent with their focus on a more independent and tranquil lifestyle.
