Meghan and Harry to be ‘packed like sardines’ at Xmas
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be "packed like sardines" at the Queen's Sandringham estate this Christmas - rather than staying at William and Kate's 10-bedroom home nearby. There have long been rumours of a growing rift between the two royal couples. Now it's been reported the Duke and Duchess of Sussex WON'T stay at William and Kate's Anmer Hall this Christmas - unlike last year when the four spent Christmas together at the Georgian country home. Instead, Meghan and Harry will stay in Sandringham House this year with the Queen and a host of other royals.

But the growing ranks of the royal family mean it's becoming harder and harder to accommodate everyone - and this year it's expected to number around 30 people.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be leaving the gates of Kensington Palace behind them when they move to Windsor in the new year.
