Since welcoming baby Archie into the family over the summer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have kept up an exhausting schedule, including a royal tour of Africa, so it’s only natural the new parents are ready for a break.
According to the palace, Harry and Meghan will take a six-week sabbatical, with
Hello magazine reporting the couple does not have any royal duties booked for the remainder of the year.
As part of their break, Harry and Meghan will forego spending Christmas Day with the Queen at Sandringham and instead celebrate Archie’s first festive holiday with Meghan’s mother, Doria, in Los Angeles.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month,” a statement from the palace read. “Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holidays this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland. This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen.”
