Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are set to celebrate a « special » Christmas this year as their mum, Meghan Markle, braces for a « bittersweet » moment, a source has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to spend the festive season in Montecito, California, where they reside with their family; however, as they both are strained from their families, they’ll allegedly be joined only by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, according to reports.
Archie and Lilibet are now old enough to fully « get it » when it comes to the festivities, as they are said to be anticipating the « special » day.
A source told OK!: « This year feels special because both children fully ‘get it’ – they’ve been talking about Santa and Christmas for weeks.
« They always wait until Thanksgiving is over before putting up their tree and decorations but they will go OTT!
« The kids will have their own tree to decorate, while the main tree will be a bit more colour-coordinated! They will have lots of people over for the holidays – Doria will even move in for a bit. »
They added: « Christmas is Meghan’s favourite time of year, she loves seeing everyone over for Thanksgiving, and then they are in full on countdown mode for Christmas.
« Harry is also very excited and loves seeing how excited Archie and Lilbet are getting.
« He sometimes can’t believe how lucky he is to have them. »
The source added that Christmas is often a « bittersweet » moment for the couple who « wish that they could have all their families together. »
They said: « They [Harry and Meghan] both really wish that they could have all their families together and have a huge Christmas but they know that will never happen.
« So they have to make new memories and traditions with their children and those close to them. »
