Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were left off the royal family’s official guest list for Christmas, and it’s not a shocker, to be honest. The couple’s recent exclusion from the holiday festivities was confirmed by ITV.com, and it’s clear that Charles and his team had no intentions of inviting the Sussexes. It seems like the royal family is not rushing to welcome Harry and Meghan with open arms, especially after Harry’s book “Spare” caused quite a stir within the family. And who can blame them? Would you want to share a Christmas meal with someone who publicly called you an “asshole”? The tension is real, and it’s unlikely that the holidays will bring about a harmonious reunion. Looks like the gossip about a potential New Year invitation or hope for a joyful Christmas came from pure media invention. And to add insult to injury, Meghan Markle’s growing public profile and the forthcoming release of Omid Scobie’s book “Endgame” are only making the royal family more apprehensive. What a royal mess!
