While Meghan spent Christmas privately at home, senior members of the Royal Family—including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children—attended the traditional Christmas Day church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. They later greeted crowds of well-wishers and sat down for a formal family lunch, typically featuring roast turkey.
Online Criticism and Rumors of Separation
The contrast between the two celebrations fueled online commentary, with critics describing Meghan’s holiday as “lonely” and accusing her of denying Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet time with their royal relatives.
Some went further, speculating that Meghan and Harry may be living separately.
“They were alone Christmas Eve… and will be alone Christmas Day. No mention of friends and laughter throughout last night or talk of family Christmas dinner,” one critic wrote.
Another commented, “Can you imagine how they’ve denied that life to their kids?? I would be [livid] if I were Archie and Lili and learned all about this in the future.”
A third mocked the newsletter’s tone, adding,
“All I can now think of is Meghan skulking around her house in her white cashmere and silk, shushing Harry, creeping up to the tree and demanding he take a video of her prepping for ‘aggressively hosting’ the sh*t out of poor santa and his reindeer.”
One user criticized the writing style itself, saying,
“It reads like she was writing while in a manic state… people who rattle on with long run on sentences… don’t often have anything significant to say.”
Reports and Denials
As speculation spread, one Reddit comment gained traction:
“Likely like separate. There are multiple reports that they are definitely not living together anymore.”
The remark appeared to reference a RadarOnline.com report from October 2025, which cited an anonymous source claiming the couple was struggling and “not on the same page with anything right now.”
The source alleged:
“Meghan is absolutely pivoting to fashion. She’s always had her eye on designing her own label.”
“Meghan and Harry are keeping their work completely separate. He’s more than happy for her to do her lifestyle thing and they both prefer that she’s doing it on her own without him.”
Neither Meghan nor Prince Harry has publicly addressed these claims.
