Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are confirmed to be slated to return to the United Kingdom. Their purpose, however, is not to spend time with the royal family for the holidays.
The former senior royals are scheduled to return to Britain in January 2021 before the Duchess of Sussex's court appearance. They will not be spending Christmas with the Queen at Sandringham.
Returning to the UK But Not For the Holidays

The "Suits" actress, who is suing the newspaper for contravening copyright due to publishing a private letter she penned to her father, must be present in court, notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Contrary to reports that emerged, the Frogmore Cottage staff is not gearing for a visit from Prince Harry. Meeting up with Queen Elizabeth II is not on his list of engagements.

The pair have started their own production company and negotiated a nine-figure deal with streaming giant Netflix, reported Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
They live in their $14 million (£10.7 million) Montecito mansion in California after quitting stepping down as senior royals.
It is claimed that they will snub Queen Elizabeth II for the second year in a row. They will celebrate their first Christmas in the United States after spending the occasion in Canada in 2019. Days after, both are expected to travel to Britain.
