Prince Harry has revealed his first Christmas with Meghan Markle was like spending time with “the family she never had”.
The newly engaged royal opened up about the couple’s first Christmas together as he took over as guest editor of the Radio 4 Today programme.
Prince Harry told the audience of the flagship programme: “The family loved having her there. We had an amazing time staying with my brother and sister-in-law and running around with the kids.
“It’s like the family she’s never had. It was fantastic having her there.
“There’s always that family part of Christmas, there’s always that work element as well and I think together we had an amazing time.”
Harry admitted there were a fair few royal family traditions he had to explain to his bride-to-be.
He joked: “I think we’ve got one of the biggest families that I know of and every family is complext as well so she’s done an absolutely amazing job, getting in there.”
Meghan joined the rest of the royal family when she was greeted by adoring crowds as she attended church at Sandringham.
The prince also joked with former US President Barack Obama about about whether he had been invited to his wedding next May, when asked if he was on the guest list.
Harry said: “I don’t know about that, we haven’t even put the invite or the guest list together, who knows if he’s going to be invited or not, I wouldn’t want to ruin that surprise.”
The former Suits actress was the star attraction at the Christmas Day gathering with hundreds of fans giving her the royal seal of approval.
Wearing a £986 Sentaler camel coat, brown beret and £630 Stuart Weitzman’s Hiline boots, Meghanwalked arm-in-arm with Harry.
She was clutching a brown leather Chloe pixie bag, which sells for £1,400.
Meghan proudly displayed her engagement ring as they made the short journey from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church, where the royals have attended service since 1988.
