Am I missing something here? Meghan Markle

Sorry for the Meghan Markle thread and DM link, but I have found this really amusing today.

Story out today saying Harry and Meghan apparently aren't spending Xmas with the Queen this year. Lots of comments below blaming Meghan, saying she's isolating Harry from his family, saying the Queen must be really upset. Everyone at work was chatting about it today saying similar.

Am I missing something? I mean we don't even know if it's true. But even if it is, aren't they entitled to spend Xmas as they please? She has her own mother she may want to see.

Ok I get that it's the Queen and it's the usual tradition but is it really a big deal?

I do.

Pretty sure the Sandringham Christmas schedule just says that is the only time the children join the adult events, not the only time their parents see them! Lots of unscheduled time- just separate mealtimes. Which is not unusual in those sort of circles. Well, it wasn’t at the time the schedule was set in Royal concrete.......

I wonder if "Sandringham Time" is still a thing?

@QueenOfTheAndals Scrapping it is one of the few things Edward VIII did
