Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will face the challenge of navigating tension and resentment when deciding their Christmas plans, according to a relationship expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spent the last three Christmas periods away from the UK.
Louella Alderson, a relationship expert claimed that Prince Harry may want to show his children Archie and Lilibet the traditions and customs of the UK.
She added that despite the Duke of Sussex's feud with the Royal Family, he will retain friends in his home country.

Alderson said: "It's understandable that there may be some tension between Harry and Meghan over their Christmas plans.
"They have spent the past three Christmases away from Britain, so it's possible that Harry may feel a sense of nostalgia and want to return to his home country for the holiday."
She continued: "It would be natural for him to want to show his children the traditions and customs of his country and his upbringing as they have predominantly grown up in America their whole life.
"Even though Harry is not close with the Royal Family at the moment, he still has old friends in the UK which could explain his desire to spend Christmas there.
Alderson added that if Meghan Markle chooses not to spend Christmas in the UK, she should be open to spending future holidays in the country for Prince Harry.

"On the other hand, Meghan may feel more comfortable celebrating Christmas in the United States again with her mother and extended family, especially given her negative experiences with the British press and the Royal Family."
Alderson added that if Meghan Markle chooses not to spend Christmas in the UK, she should be open to spending future holidays in the country for Prince Harry.
She told the Mirror: "Meghan's feelings and anger need to be taken into consideration as it could be a challenging time for her and she could feel like Christmas is not the right time to confront any hurt feelings.
"Harry has given up a lot for Meghan and has appeared to put Meghan's needs and desires above his own at times, so it's understandable that he may feel a sense of resentment if she is not willing to do the same for him.
