Prince William and Kate ‘breathe sigh of relief’ as Harry and Meghan’s Christmas plans revealed

Prince William and Princess Kate will be ‘breathing a sigh of relief’ at the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ Christmas plans, a former royal butler to the King has said.

Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry until 2011, believes strained relations between the royal brothers will not be resolved any time soon.

Mr Harrold, speaking on behalf of OLBG, explained how Harry and Meghan spending Christmas in the US with the Duchesses’ family, will also be a “get out of jail card” for King Charles.

“It’s very different to being poker face in public, it is awkward with family,” Mr Harrold said. “It would have been such a difficult time.”
