Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to spend Christmas with their children in the UK alongside the King, but he is yet to invite them, according to a friend of the couple.<\/p>\n
Harry and Meghan last spent Christmas at Sandringham, the King's Norfolk residence, in 2018, before Princess Lilibet, two, was born and when Prince Archie, four, was still a baby. But despite the reported rift amongst The Firm, the pair want to bring their brood home for Christmas with King Charles, according to the Times.<\/p>\n
The paper reported that a friend said that an invite has not yet been extended, though. The source reportedly said: \u201cI can\u2019t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty. <\/p>\n

"As of yet, there have not been any invitations for the holidays.\u201d Buckingham Palace declined to comment to the publication. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sussex sources reportedly said the pair would need a \u201cformal invitation\u201d from the King or Buckingham Palace to be able to stay on \u201cprotected property\u201d if they came home. <\/p>\n
Prince Harry is in the midst of a legal battle with the Home Office over his police protections in the UK being stripped, despite him even offering to pay for it. A legal representative said the Prince is \u201cunable to return to his home\u201d with his family because it is too dangerous. <\/p>\n
However, his request for accommodation on the royal estate was refused when he came home for a charity event in September. <\/p>\n
It comes as an expert claims that a new royal book "won't inspire trust" and could make reconciliation harder for Harry and his father. <\/p>\n
