The holiday season used to be a time of celebration and joy for Prince Harry. As a member of the royal family, he had access to all the luxuries and traditions that came with being a part of the monarchy. However, according to a recent report by Express, the holiday season for Harry is no longer the same as it used to be in his royal past.
As a member of the royal family, Prince Harry grew up with elaborate Christmas celebrations at Sandringham, the Queen’s country estate. The whole family would gather together for a traditional feast, exchange gifts, and attend church service on Christmas morning. It was a time for Harry to reconnect with his family, especially his brother Prince William, and enjoy the glamorous lifestyle of being a royal.
However, since stepping down as a senior royal and moving to the United States with his wife Meghan Markle, Harry’s holiday season has drastically changed. The couple now celebrates Christmas in a different country, away from the rest of the royal family. While they still maintain some of their own traditions, such as making their own Christmas cards and cooking a special meal, it is not the same as the extravagant celebrations at Sandringham.
One of the main differences for Harry is the absence of his brother William, who he used to be very close with growing up. William and his family spend their Christmas at Sandringham, making it impossible for the two brothers to spend the holiday together. This has been a significant change for Harry, who has always cherished the holiday traditions with his brother and the rest of the royal family.
Additionally, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had to adapt their holiday plans even more. They have been advised by health officials to avoid traveling and large gatherings, making it challenging to celebrate with their extended family and friends. This has only added to the already significant changes in Harry’s holiday season.
However, despite the changes and challenges, Prince Harry seems to be embracing this new chapter in his life. In an interview with Express, a source close to the Duke of Sussex shared, “Harry is happy to be creating new memories with his wife and son. They have their own traditions now, and he is excited to see what they will come up with in the future.”
The couple’s son, Archie, who will be celebrating his second Christmas this year, adds a new element of joy and excitement to their holiday season. The source also mentioned that Meghan and Harry are looking forward to teaching their son about different holiday traditions and cultures.
Harry’s holiday season may not be the same as it was before, but he seems to be content with the changes. In his new life as a non-royal, he has the freedom to create his own traditions and celebrate in a way that is meaningful to him and his family. And while he may miss the extravagant celebrations at Sandringham, he is grateful for the chance to spend quality time with his wife and son.
This holiday season, as we reflect on the challenges and changes that have occurred in our lives, let us also remember Prince Harry and the new changes in his holiday season. Let us celebrate his courage to embrace a new life and create new traditions with his family. And let us wish him and his family a joyful and peaceful holiday season, filled with love and togetherness.
