This Christmas, the royal family will miss many dear ones. The late Queen, who died earlier this year, will be missed most, but the Sussex family will also be absent.

Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet will stay in California instead of joining Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham next week.

It follows Harry and Meghan's controversial Netflix docuseries, in which they complained about royal family treatment.

Harry used to spend practically every holiday with his family. His once-close sister-in-law Kate is said to have given him a bold joke gift one year, which went over well.

Harry was single after several high-profile relationships before Meghan. Kate's gift? Grow-your-own-girlfriend kit.

The gift-opening timing is different from most people's. They open their presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning.

The exchange occurs around 6 pm in Sandringham's white drawing room. The royals must hide their gifts in the room earlier that day.

As King Charles hosts his first Christmas, Kate, William, George, Charlotte, and Louis will spend Christmas in Sandringham. The royals' first Christmas without the Queen will be emotional.

Royal Christmases traditionally include a morning visit to St. Mary Magdalene Church, meeting well-wishers, and a family feast with turkey and all the fixings.

Charles will likely focus on his mother's legacy in his first Christmas Broadcast as monarch, which he pre-recorded.

After lunch on December 25, royal family members watch the broadcast address.
