Harry and Meghan Reportedly Plan Holidays With Doria Ragland

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, rather than join the royal family at Sandringham. The plans have not been confirmed by the couple, and reports say the holiday location remains undecided. The account stems from an unnamed friend quoted in reporting about the couple’s plans. The friend said the family would do what Ragland wanted for the holidays and that Harry and Meghan did not expect an invitation to the royal Christmas gathering. The source described joining the family as too awkward and difficult, while saying the couple were not waiting for an invitation. Ragland lives in California, and some reports suggest Harry and Meghan may return there for the holidays. Others leave open the possibility that Ragland could travel to the United Kingdom. No confirmed itinerary or public statement from the couple has been reported. The reported plans cover Thanksgiving as well as Christmas. One account noted that the couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, would be expected to be in school during Thanksgiving week, a consideration for any travel.
