Royal Pre Christmas Lunch Absences, Harry and Meghan Somehow Get a New Netflix Film

King Charles hosts his annual pre Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, with around seventy relatives invited, as the Wales family arrives with the children and senior royals gather ahead of Sandringham. But several notable figures are missing, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Sarah Ferguson, and the Sussexes, while Beatrice and Eugenie return to the wider family fold. We also revisit striking comments from Sarah Ferguson’s late mother Susan Barrantes about the York separation and the threat of telling “not very pleasant” stories about the Crown, as author Andrew Lownie argues the Royal Household always feared a memoir. Plus, local backlash grows over security closures around William and Catherine’s new Forest Lodge home, and Harry and Meghan confirm a new Netflix film project adapting Jasmine Guillory’s The Wedding Date.
