Plus, how the royal family’s celebrating this year.
British royals exchange gag gifts at Christmas

Anyone hoping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reunite with the royal family come Christmas, prepare to be disappointed. It’s looking like a no-go. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly not spending Christmas in England with their fellow royals, no matter how much King Charles III may want them to. The reason is ongoing “hostility” toward the couple and nerves about bringing them, even temporarily, back into the royal fold.

But if that wasn’t his destiny, what career would he choose? His former staffer is revealing what job Charles told him he would be “happy” to have if he wasn’t going to be king.
