Despite Family Tensions, Prince William and Princess Catherine Reportedly Give Christmas Gifts to Archie and Lili

Despite Family Tensions, Prince William and Princess Catherine Reportedly Give Christmas Gifts to Archie and Lili

According to multiple outlets, Prince William appeared in a new Netflix documentary on Harry and Meghan Markle this week, about Princess Diana's infamous inclusion of clips from her Panorama interview with Martin Bashir, He doesn't seem too happy about it now. [According to the Daily Express, Harry and Meghan's children Archie and Lili are expecting to get Christmas presents from their uncle (and Aunt Kate). (The kids may be lucky, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not be on William and Kate's nice list this year.) Kate and William indicate that they are not ready to extend an olive branch to Mr. and Mrs. Sussex."

"Without conjugal goodwill, William and Kate would not be taking gifts under the tree from 3-year-old Archie and 1-year-old Lilibet," royal expert Roya Nikka wrote in The Sunday Times. 'Harry and Meghan also gave gifts to 9-, 7- and 4-year-olds George, Charlotte and Louis. No gifts were exchanged between the adults." Ouch.

The Sussexes will not be traveling across the pond for Christmas at Sandringham this year. Perhaps it's because of the growing tensions surrounding the documentary and Harry's memoir, which will be released on January 10.

Nikka added that William is still "fond" of Archie, his only nephew, and of Lili, "even though they have had little opportunity to meet in person over the past year and a half," the Daily Express reported.

The last time the two couples saw each other in person was at the funeral of His late Majesty the King in September. So far, Harry and Meghan's eponymous Netflix documentary has been far from critical enough of the new Prince and Princess of Wales, but Meghan made slight fun of the Welsh couple, suggesting that when they first met, her mild-mannered, "huggable" personality, suggesting that they were "surprised" by her warm and "huggable" nature when they first met.

But we've only seen half of Harry & Meghan's offerings. The last three parts will be released this Thursday, December 15, and include a scene in which Meghan says, "This is when family and family business are in direct conflict."
