Meghan Markle’s Fantastic Christmas with the Royals

Prince Harry recently revealed that his fiancée, Meghan Markle, had a wonderful time with the Queen and his family over Christmas.

During his guest editorship of BBC Radio 4's flagship Current Affairs programme, he was asked about his festive break with Meghan.

When questioned about how she coped meeting the in-laws, the Prince replied, ”It was fantastic, she really enjoyed it.”

On Christmas Day, Ms Markle and her fiancé joined the Queen at Sandringham and were photographed walking with other royal family members to church.

The couple spent their Christmas holiday with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who live in Amherst Hall in Norfolk.

Harry revealed that they had an amazing time together, stating, ”The family loved having her there, there's always that family part of Christmas, where, there's always the work element there as well, and I think together we had an amazing time, we had great fun staying with my brother and sister-in-law and running round with the kids, Christmas was fantastic.”

During the programme, the Prince interviewed former US President Barack Obama.

In the discussion, the statesman warned that the irresponsible use of social media is distorting the public's understanding of complex issues and leading to the spread of misinformation.

Harry joked about whether Mr Obama had been invited to his wedding next May.

When asked if he was on the guest list, the Prince replied, ”I don't know about that, we haven't even put the invite or the guest list together, who knows if he's going to be invited or not, I wouldn't want to ruin that surprise.”

Harry also interviewed his father, the Prince of Wales, and discussed his long-held interest in protecting the environment and natural resources.

The Prince sounded a positive note about the future, stating, ”And as I said, we're really looking forward to New Year and looking forward to 2018, because, you know, I'm determined to make sure that myself and the young generation and everybody else this pendulum is going to swing and 2018 is going to be a fantastic year and we all need to play our part.”

When asked if there were any family traditions that had to be explained to Ms Markle, Harry replied, ”Oh plenty, I think we've got one of the biggest families that I know of, and every family is complex as well, no look, she's done an absolutely amazing job, she's getting in there and it's the family I suppose that she's never had.”
