While an invitation has been extended for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to join the royals, the couple have no plans to return to the U.K. for the holidays, per multiple royal sources to the outlet.

“There’s a lot that goes into the logistics and the planning of the family Christmas, so of course, staff know that Harry and Meghan are not coming,” one royal source told Page Six.

“If they were, they would have communicated it to their family by now.

“But this is Her Majesty’s first Christmas without her husband, so one would have hoped they would want to be with her,” they added.

“I think everyone understands there will be a frenzy when they both come back to the UK, but they need to rip the [Band-Aid] off and get on with it.” the royal source added.

The Queen is traditionally joined at her country estate Sandringham by royals including Prince Charles, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, where they attend a church service.

Queen Elizabeth is currently having health issues, and recently made a statement.
