This news comes after the National Enquirer reported that had banned Meghan Markle and from ever returning to the Royal Grounds.

The Queen was reportedly incensed by the memoir Finding Freedom, which the tabloid claimed was made with the couple's blessing.

During a video conference, the Queen bluntly told Harry's wife, “you are not family.”

According to Royal commentator Jonathan Sacchidotti, the Queen has two people she speaks to most frequently on her phones.

She apparently has a mobile phone, which is said to be packed with anti-hacker encryption technology by MI6 so that nobody can hack into her phone.

The two people she phones the most are said to be her daughter Princess Anne and her racing manager John Warren.

With the countdown to Christmas underway, the Cambridge children are likely to be very excited about the festive season this year.

If they visit the Queen for Christmas, there are several royal traditions that , , and may get to take part in.

Every year, the royal family spends Christmas with the Queen at her Norfolk estate of Sandringham.

After missing out on a family Christmas last year due to Covid, it is likely that and will get to visit their great-grandmother again for the festivities this year.

In previous years, Prince George and Princess Charlotte have joined their parents for the traditional Christmas Day church service, along with the customary meet-and-greet with well-wishers who line the route.

This year, we might expect to see the Cambridge children on their way to church again, but perhaps this time with their little brother .

Every year, members of the royal family delight fans by releasing a Christmas card, often featuring a new picture of the royals.

Last year, William, Kate, Charlotte, George, and little Prince Louis posed by a wooded background for their family Christmas card, all dressed in cute jumpers.

We might expect to see George and Charlotte on their parents' Christmas card again this year.

As the Queen's great-grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte get to help decorate the monarch's Christmas trees as a sweet festive activity.

During a documentary titled The Queen's Green Planet a few years ago, the Queen spoke to a senior castle attendant about her Christmas trees, stating that her great-grandchildren always enjoy knocking ornaments off.

She said, “Yes, that is always the problem, is the children love knocking those off.

Well, my great-grandchildren do.

Anyway, they enjoy themselves.

And the great thing is to make them decorate it, and they're a bit more careful.”

Finally, all children around the country will be looking forward to opening their Christmas presents on Christmas Day this year.

Luckily for George and Charlotte, they may get to open their presents a bit earlier than other children if they stay around their great-grandmother's for Christmas.
