It's safe to say the tell-all interviews and documentaries haven't helped the couple amid strained ties with the royal family.

Harry and Meghan, however, were already planning to spend the holidays in Montecito, California, where they live with their two kids, Archie and Lilibet. The Sussexes intend to keep their celebrations low-key at home with just their immediate family and Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, according to Closer.

Since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have routinely been cut from royal events. The couple did not receive an invite to Trooping the Color, an annual celebration of the reigning monarch’s birthday, for the second time in a row this year, per Harper’s Bazaar.
