Karwai Tang/WireImage(LONDON) — Meghan Markle will join Prince Harry and other members of the royal family at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth’s estate, on Christmas Day, Kensington Palace said Wednesday.
“You can expect to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — Prince Harry and Ms. Markle — at Sandringham on Christmas Day,” a Kensington Palace spokeswoman said.
The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton did not attend Christmas services at Sandringham in 2010 when she was still engaged to Prince William. She spent Christmas with her family before her wedding to William the next year.
Other royal fiancés have traditionally not attended either. Mike Tindall, the husband of Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter, Zara Philips, also did not join the royal family for Christmas before the couple married.
Markle, 36, and Harry, 33, announced their engagement on Nov. 27. Just a few days later, they attended their first official engagement as a newly engaged couple in Nottingham, England. The couple plans to wed at Windsor Castle next May.
