On Christmas Day, it’s likely they will accompany the Queen at Sandringham for celebrations and to attend a local church service with other members of the royal family.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would not be at Sandringham for Christmas. Instead they’ll be joining Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland in America for the festivities.
