They also have a traditional way of arranging their presents, according to a source.
“The gifts were on trestle tables in the white drawing room where the names were at each table for each family, ” the source said.
During Meghan Markle’s first Christmas with the royals, she bought the late Queen a singing hamster that got mauled by one of her corgis.
The Duchess of Sussex had to find the perfect Christmas present for her grandmother-in-law just months after she became engaged to Prince Harry.
At the time, it was reported her late Majesty was very happy and she said: “It can keep my dogs company.”
A source said: “Meghan bought a little hamster that sings with a little rope for Her Majesty. It was so funny, especially when the corgis tried to take hold of the toy.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not spent Christmas with the royals since 2018.
While the couple had hoped they would have a royal invitation to Sandringham this year, this seems increasingly unlikely that it will happen.
