Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Plan Lavish Christmas Celebration in LA

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are gearing up for a grand Christmas celebration in Los Angeles.

According to InTouch Weekly, the couple is going all out to make the royal family jealous by inviting their closest friends to their private bash.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly expecting a star-studded guest list, including Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Abigail Spencer, and more.

Meghan even created gold-plated invites herself, making sure no detail is left unattended.

Prince Harry is also hands-on with the preparations, taking charge of stringing lights all over their house.

The couple has already put up a 10-foot tree and plans to buy a second one for their festive celebrations.

The couple is hoping to get Mariah Carey to sing at their private bash, but the award-winning singer has not yet acknowledged their invitation.

Prince Harry is even considering wearing a Santa suit if Meghan approves, and he is setting up his own bar by the pool, creating cute cocktails like Sussex Spritzer.

This is not the first time that Meghan and Harry have celebrated Christmas away from the royal family.

Two years ago, the couple spent the holidays in Canada, while last year, they stayed home in California with their son Archie.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be spending Christmas this year with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.

Their decision to celebrate with family aligns with the precedent set previously by other members of the royal family and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen.

However, according to royal author Christopher Anderson, Prince Harry may still be harboring resentment towards the royal family after being snubbed by the Queen in 2019.

Anderson believes this may be a turning point for the couple and could explain why they no longer want to celebrate with the royals.

Despite the rift between Prince Harry and his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will reportedly still send Christmas gifts to Archie and Lilibet.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed that the couple wants to keep their Christmas traditions going and will give presents to all their nieces and nephews.

During an appearance on James Corden's The Late Late Show earlier this year, Prince Harry revealed that the Queen had sent Archie a waffle maker for Christmas in 2020.

It seems that the Sussexes are looking forward to creating more happy memories with their family as they celebrate the holidays in their own way.

Meghan and Harry's lavish Christmas celebration is a testament to their desire to create their own traditions and celebrate with their loved ones.

As they continue to navigate their new life away from the royal family, the couple remains committed to forging their own path and creating a happy home for themselves and their children.
