Mozz71 The question asked was why is the D of C treated differently to the D of C when they are doing the same thing. I was pointing out that they were not doing the same thing when it came to spending Christmas with their family and not with the Queen.Kate, William and their children previously spent Christmas with her family, i.e the children's Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins in this country. If Harry and Meghan wanted to spend time with her family, well, there's just Grandma in America as she is estranged from other members of her family.I don't know whether her Mother joined them for Christmas or not as I didn't read about it in the papers but I did read as everyone else did that they flew to Canada for 6 weeks where they stayed in a luxury mansion, so to me, that's is not the same thing.
