Prince Harry, reportedly, snubbed Prince Charles by refusing to celebrate Christmas with him.
According to Marie Claire, Prince Harry has decided to celebrate the holidays with his new father-figure, David Foster.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now live in the United States, they are closer to Foster and his wife, Katharine McPhee.
A source told the publication that Markle is already planning her Christmas feast for her family, Foster, and his wife.
“Meghan’s really excited and is planning on doing all the traditions she grew up with as a child, including the cooking,” the source said.
The insider also said that Foster tried to convince Prince Harry and Markle to celebrate Christmas with them at their house. But Markle insisted that she wants to spend Christmas at her place.
According to the source, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their first Christmas in the United States.
As such, they didn’t really have any plans to return to the United Kingdom for the holidays even if travel would be allowed.
As of late, Prince Harry and Markle have not yet confirmed their Christmas plans. So, it is unclear if they’ve invited Foster and McPhee to their home.
Foster and McPhee haven’t shared any information either.
But according to New Idea, Prince Harry celebrating Christmas with Foster and McPhee is a deliberate snub for Prince Charles.
After all, the Duke of Sussex sees Foster as the new father-figure in his life.
Rumors about Prince Harry snubbing Prince Charles in favor of Foster have been rife for months.
In May, New Idea also claimed that Prince Harry thinks Foster is his new dad because of their close relationship.
The tabloid quoted McPhee’s statements during her interview with Access Hollywood.
McPhee previously revealed that Prince Harry and Foster have a wonderful relationship. The singer also revealed that the two men have been keeping in touch.
However, McPhee never said anything about Prince Harry replacing Prince Charles for Foster.
And even though Prince Harry can’t celebrate Christmas with Prince Charles this week, a royal expert revealed that he will call the heir to the throne.
While speaking with Woman UK, royal commentator Duncan Larcombe said that Prince Harry is expected to call Prince Charles and Prince William before Christmas.
After all, Prince Harry’s relationship with the royal family has finally thawed in time for the holidays.
