HARRY and Meghan “would love to” spend Christmas in the UK but “haven’t been invited” by King Charles, a pal has claimed.
The couple last spent Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham in 2018 before their acrimonious move to the US.
But now a friend says that the couple want to see more of Charles – who has never spent a Christmas with their children Archie and Lilibet.
The friend told The Sunday Times: “I can’t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty.
“As of yet, there have not been any invitations for the holidays.”
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
Harry called Charles from his California home as the King marked his 75th birthday last week.
He also showed Charles a video of Archie and Lilibet singing Happy Birthday.
Sources close to the Sussexes hailed the call as a “turning point”.
Earlier this year Charles ordered Harry and Meghan to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their home in Windsor.
They now reportedly need a “formal invitation” to be able to stay with the royals on “protected property”.
When Harry returned to the UK for a charity event on the anniversary of the Queen’s death, his request to stay on the royal estate was refused.
Harry is currently locked in a legal battle with the Home Office over its decision to remove his police bodyguard when he is in the UK – even though he has offered to pay for it.
It is understood that Harry and Charles plan to speak again this week – with the Sussexes still hoping for a Christmas invitation.
Harry will not relive his mum Princess Diana’s final moments by watching The Crown, insiders have claimed.
