For Prince William and Princess Kate, this week is very significant.
This week, the royal couple is visiting America to attend the second annual Earthshot Prize Awards.
After arriving in Boston on Wednesday, William and Kate will spend Thursday in the city taking part in a number of engagements before the awards ceremony on Friday night.
Given that they are still in school before the Christmas break, the couple’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are not anticipated to travel with their parents.
However, there has been speculation that William and Kate will have a reunion with his brother Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle, who have been residing in the United States since the beginning of 2020.
However, that seems incredibly unlikely. One difference is that while Harry and Meghan live in Montecito, California, on the other side of the country, William and Kate will be on the east coast.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will attend a lot of engagements during their brief visit thanks to their hectic schedule.
It is unknown at this time if Harry and Meghan will spend Christmas with the royal family again.
Just as his late mother, the Queen, did up until her passing, King Charles will be hosting the festivities on the Sandringham estate.
However, his youngest son, his wife, and their two children are not anticipated to travel back to the UK; instead, they are anticipated to hold their own celebrations at home with Archie and Lilibet, as well as possibly Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Meghan recently disclosed that she spent her Christmases as a child volunteering with the homeless or the sick; this may now be the way Archie and Lilibet are brought up.
Despite the stark differences between her two upbringings, she revealed to People, “Despite the contrast of my two worlds growing up, there was a powerful commonality: both my parents came from little, so they made a choice to give a lot,”
“Buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to patients in hospice care, donating any spare change in their pocket to those asking for it, and performing quiet acts of grace – be it a hug, a smile, or a pat on the back to show ones in need that they would be alright.”
