Meghan Markle is nervous as she spends her first Christmas in the UK years after exiting as a senior Royal.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is living in Scotts world alongside husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, is apprehensive she would feel left out by the Royal Family.

An insider says tells Closer Online: “Meghan can’t think of anything worse than hanging around hoping the royals might squeeze them in somewhere over Christmas.”

The insider adds: “She knows they’re not going to be sitting down at Sandringham like everything’s suddenly fine, and frankly she doesn’t want to spend the holidays making uncomfortable small talk with William and Kate and a bunch of other people who’ve made it pretty clear how they feel about them.”

“That would mean having to endure days on end faking it with the Waleses and that’s a pretty grim prospect; there’s no doubt it would ruin Christmas for Meghan,” says the insider.
