Meghan, Harry ‘snub’ Will and Kate

As rumours continue to swirl about a rift between the two couples, Meghan and Harry’s latest decision comes as something of a surprise.

Prince Harry and Meghan have snubbed Wills and Kate this Christmas, The Sun can reveal.

The Sussexes will be with the Queen at Sandringham amid increasing rumours of a rift between the two couples.

Harry and mum-to-be Meghan turned down the option of staying at Wills and Kate’s Norfolk home Anmer Hall, where they had a “fantastic” time with the kids last year.

A royal source said: “There’s not a huge amount of room at Sandringham so it’s quite surprising. Maybe they just want their own space.

“Things are civil between the couples but they don’t spend much time together.”

The Sun previously revealed Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are moving to Windsor — away from Wills and Kate, both 36, in Kensington Palace.

The brothers have reportedly fallen out while Kate was said to have been left in tears over ­Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress for Meghan and Harry’s wedding in May.

The Sun understands Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland will not be at Sandringham, despite reports she was invited.

Christmas at the royal stately home in Norfolk is a highly traditional affair — with Princess Diana famously finding it stuffy and claustrophobic.

Royal biographer Christopher Wilson said: “Sandringham Christmases can be an ordeal, even for those born royal — and generally those who’ve married into the family can’t wait to get away.

“Kate’s a homebody and loves being with her own immediate family at Christmas — off-duty and relaxed.”

Kensington Palace declined to comment.

Meanwhile Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has issued a public warning to Meghan, telling the Daily Mail the Duchess of Sussex will need to “stay close to Harry and his granny” during the couple’s stay at Sandringham.

Describing the experience as “Downton Abbey on speed”, Burrell said it has been harder for Meghan than it is for the Duchess of Cambridge because “Kate came from their (sort of) background”.

“They are going to set traps, there will be pitfalls along the way, but Harry will catch her, so stay close to him. Nothing will happen if you’re close to the Queen’s grandson,” he said.

“But if you stray away from him and start to do things by yourself, that’s when there could be problems.”
