Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly decided to spend Christmas in California because the Duchess of Sussex believes it is "important" to create new memories with their children.
According to royal biographer Ingrid Seward, the couple made the choice to stay home after declining an invitation to celebrate Christmas at Althorp House, the Northampton, U.K., estate owned by the late Princess Diana's younger brother, Charles, Earl Spencer. "Meghan says it’s important for her that Archie and Lilibet can have ‘connective memories’ of Thanksgiving and Christmas at home and enjoy the traditions like putting out ‘carrots for the reindeer.'"
