“They spent three years running down the entire institutional royal family, The King, his wife, his brother, his sister-in-law, all for vast millions. And now they think they want to have spend Christmas at Sandringham. Nobody will want them.”
The couple’s Christmas plans have been unclear for sometime with conflicting reports on whether they wish to return to the UK, and whether they would even be allowed.
Harry and Meghan reportedly have concerns over security arrangements, no longer being offered royal security now they have left the UK.
However friends have now said they would feel comfortable at Sandringham or Balmoral as these are protected royal properties, giving them greater privacy.
