Prince Harry is, allegedly, planning his return to the United Kingdom in the first week of December to meet with Queen Elizabeth.

According to OK! Magazine, Prince Harry feels it’s only right for him to inform the queen in person that he and Meghan Markle won’t be returning to their royal duties at the end of the 12-month review.

In January, the queen released a statement showing her support for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to quit The Firm. But the monarch also said that there would be a review after a year to allow Prince Harry and Markle to return to The Firm if they realize that they don’t want to quit for good.

But the source insisted that Prince Harry and Markle are already certain that they don’t want to return to their royal duties even as early as now. After all, they are focused on their new life in California and their recent deal with Netflix.

The insider also said that Prince Harry is contemplating celebrating the holidays with the royal family. But he couldn’t seem to get Markle’s approval. After all, the Suits alum wants to celebrate Christmas in Montecito. And she also doesn’t want to have anything to do with the British clan.

As such, Prince Harry would have to rush back home to make sure that he would be with his wife and son on Christmas Day. 

But based on the timeline that the tabloid set, Prince Harry will most definitely be home in time for the holidays because he will meet with the queen in the first week of December.

A source close to the Sussexes recently said that it’s unlikely for Prince Harry and Markle to celebrate Christmas in the UK due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

But royal expert Ingrid Seward told Daily Star that Prince Harry would be forced to return home for the holidays or otherwise because he can’t overstay in the United States.

As such, before Prince Harry can be clobbered with a huge tax bill, it would be best if he just flies back home for a few days and returns to the United States to be with his family shortly after.

However, there are also claims suggesting that Prince Harry and Markle could celebrate Christmas with David Foster and Katharine McPhee. While speaking with Access Hollywood, the American Idol winner revealed that her husband and Prince Harry are very close.
