Harry and Meghan Insist on Spending Christmas at London’s Soho Farmhouse After Royal Snub

Less than 24 hours after a story surfaced in the Sunday Times, expressing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's desire to join the royals for Christmas at Sandringham, they were hit with a brutal and public rejection.

The official guest list was leaked to ITV.com, and it was revealed that Harry and Meghan were not invited.

A friend of King Charles disclosed to the Daily Beast that Charles and his team were never going to be pressured into inviting the couple.

If an invitation does come, it will be carefully considered and on Charles' terms.

There are swirling rumors in the press that Harry and Meghan might be invited to Balmoral for New Year's celebrations.

These rumors have also been fueled by Meghan and Harry's PR agency.

However, what complicates matters is the fact that less than a year ago, Harry published his book, “Spare,” in which he referred to Prince William as his arch-nemesis.

He accused William and Kate Middleton of belittling him and Meghan, divulged details of private conversations, claimed that Queen Camilla sacrificed him on a personal PR altar, and portrayed Charles as weak, enabling, and self-centered.

A friend of William's stated to the Daily Beast that even if Charles wanted Harry and Meghan to attend, which is questionable, William and Kate would never subject themselves to such humiliation.

Who would want to sit down for a Christmas lunch with someone who had publicly insulted them?

Despite being uninvited, sources reveal that the Harkles (Harry and Meghan) are still determined to spend Christmas in the UK, even without an invitation to Sandringham.

Meghan has become increasingly irritable and has implored Harry to take action to prevent them from being completely cut off.

She even urged him to have a solo conversation with Charles and William in a desperate attempt to maintain some level of connection.

Neil Sean reports that although Harry and Meghan won't be attending Christmas at Sandringham, they plan to travel to the UK independently to garner attention.

However, this means they will have to cover their own expenses for accommodation and security.

They would need to secure a residence and apply for security approval from the British government at least a month in advance.

Many people are speculating whether they will time their visit to coincide with Catherine's Christmas carol service.

Their intention is to stay at Soho Farmhouse, accompanied by Marcus, of course.

Meghan has always had an affinity for Soho Farmhouse, and they used to rent a place there after their wedding.

They will likely pretend to attend church, just like the British tradition.

If they choose to go to Soho Farmhouse with Marcus, it would attract a lot of attention as many members would be present, allowing the Harkles to be photographed amidst the festive atmosphere.

Marcus has become like family to Harry and Meghan, and he has invested a significant amount of time and energy in supporting them.

He is not going to abandon them now.

However, if the Harkles decide to gatecrash Christmas without their children, it may expose them as frauds in the eyes of the world.

After all, what kind of parents leave their children behind during the holiday season?
