Meghan Markle's sister has taken a swipe at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Christmas card photo, labelling it 'a bit sad'. The couple shared a sweet snap from their wedding day to celebrate the festive period, which shows them watching the fireworks at the private evening reception. They look relaxed in the black and white picture, with their backs to the camera and their arms around each other. But Samantha Markle clearly isn't impressed with the photo, and took to Twitter to share her views on it. She commented on the fact the couple aren't looking at the camera, and asks if they are turning their backs on the world or just her family. She writes: "Interesting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have their backs turned. "Is this towards the world or just the Ragland and Markle family? "It's a bit sad. Face the Christmas spirit."

Princess Diana's former butler has given some words of advice for Meghan Markle as she prepares for Christmas at Sandringham. Paul Burrell has warned her the festive period at the stately home will be like being transported to 'another reality'. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will stay with the Queen at Sandringham this year - after reportedly snubbing Will and Kate's invite to stay at Norfolk's Anmer Hall. Burrell, 60, said Christmas at Sandringham is the most intense period of the year and the palace is filled with "the biggest personalities and egos". He told Daily Mail TV: "All these people are members of the royal family, they are all larger than life, have character to go with it. "Everyone is jostling for position and attention, and they're bouncing off the walls after four days. It's like a pinball machine. He also issued an ominous warning that other royals could be out to get her - and said she needed to win the Queen's favour . Burrell, who worked with Diana until her death … [Read more...] about Meghan Markle must prepare for Christmas full of royal ‘egos’, says Paul Burrell

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will snub the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge this Christmas, it has been reported. The Sussexes will reportedly spend the festive period with the Queen at Sandringham after declining an invite to stay at Will and Kate's Norfolk home. Harry and mum-to-be Meghan were given the option to stay at nearby Anmer Hall where they had a “fantastic” time last year with the kids, it is reported. A royal source told The Sun: “There’s not a huge amount of room at Sandringham so it’s quite surprising. Maybe they just want their own space . “Things are civil between the couples but they don’t spend much time together.” The news comes amid reports of a feud between the two families. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have decided to set up home in Windsor - away from Will and Kate - to raise a family in a quieter setting. One royal source suggested the move could be down to friction between Meghan and Kate which has driven wedge … [Read more...] about Meghan Markle and Harry ‘snub offer to stay at William and Kate’s for Christmas’

Meghan Markle was showered with expensive Christmas presents by dad Thomas as she was his favourite, it has been claimed. Half-sister Samantha, also a daughter of Thomas Markle Snr, said the Duchess of Sussex received presents fit for a princess as a child. Royal biographer Andrew Morton says that Samantha always thought Meghan was the favourite of Thomas' three children. And because of that she would always get what she asked for at Christmas - no matter how expensive. In his book Meghan Markle: A Hollywood Princess, Andrew describes how Samantha "often told the story of the time before Christmas when Meghan was looking at a jewellery catalogue and picking out a ring, which Tom Senior promised as a gift." The book also claims that Meghan "teased her much older sister by saying that whatever her father bought [her half-sister Samantha], Meghan would receive the most expensive gift as she was the most favoured child." Samantha Markle's relationship with her half-sister rapidly broke … [Read more...] about Meghan Markle was dad’s favourite and got best Christmas gifts, sister claims
