The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have released a Christmas message as they spend the holiday in Canada.
The Royal couple whose been on a much needed break since returning from Africa, and dealing with unnecessary media scrutiny, released the message on their official Instagram account.
"WISHING you ALL a very Merry Christmas," the message reads.
According to Buckingham Palace, Harry and Meghan are "spending private family time in Canada." It's been reported that the couple, along with 9 month old baby Archie are joined by the Duchess of Sussex's mom, Doria Ragland. The Duchess will also probably get to spend some much needed time with bestie, designer Jessica Mulroney who lives in Canada.
It's usually Royal protocol that the Royals spend the holiday with the Queen, but since they are on an extended break from royal duties and have spent the last two holiday's with Her Majesty, they were given a pass.
"Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess' mother Doria Ragland," Buckingham Palace said in a statement in November. "This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen."
