They were home for the holidays. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed a quiet Christmas in California with children Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3 — despite reports they were invited to spend the festive season with relatives in the UK.

Harry and the “Suits” alum released their official Christmas card that included a rare photo of their little ones ahead of the holidays earlier this month.

Meghan Markle reveals how she and Prince Harry are creating magical holiday memories with Archie and Lilibet, including the family tradition of putting out “carrots for the reindeer.”

However, despite Harry having stayed there fairly recent on a flying visit to the UK, one royal expert said they turned this down as Meghan, 43, wanted her children to have memories of Christmas at their Montecito home, a place they have lived since quitting life as senior royals in 2020.

Meghan Markle made a subtle nod to Princess Diana in her upcoming project amid her professional separation from Prince Harry. The mother-of-two is set to launch her new Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan' on January 15.
