MEGHAN Markle once bought Prince Harry a rather unusual Christmas present\u2026 an ornament of Queen Elizabeth II for their tree.<\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex made the revelation in his bombshell memoir Spare, and revealed the ornament met a sad fate at the hands of their son Archie, who was 18 months at the time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Writing in his book, Prince<\/span> Harry said he had received the comical gift for Christmas in 2020.<\/p>\n The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had decided to open presents on Christmas Eve which was \u201ckeeping to the Windsor family tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n He wrote: \u201cOne present was a little Christmas ornament of\u2026the Queen!\u201d<\/p>\n Harry said he saw the funny side of the gift, and added: \u201cI roared. What the\u2014?<\/p>\n \u201cMeg had spotted it in a local store and thought I might like it.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI held it to the light. It was Granny\u2019s face to a T.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI hung it on an eye level branch. It made me happy to see her there.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt made Meg and me smile.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n However, the ornament didn\u2019t last long in the family\u2019s \u00a312million Californian mansion.<\/p>\n Harry explained: \u201cBut then Archie, playing around the tree, jostled the stand, shook the tree, and Granny fell.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI heard a smash and turned. Pieces lay all over the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cArchie ran and grabbed a spray bottle.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor some reason he thought spraying water on the broken pieces would fix it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meg said: "No, Archie, no\u2014do not spray Gan-Gan!"<\/p>\n \u201cI grabbed a dustpan and swept up the pieces, all the while thinking: 'This is weird,'\u201d Harry continued. <\/p>\n Harry also revealed how that year they\u2019d taken their son to find a Christmas tree in a local car park in Santa Barbara, where they now live after relocating from Britain.<\/p>\n He wrote: \u201cWe bought one of the biggest spruces they had. We brought it home, set it up in the living room. Magnificent.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe stood back, admiring, counting our blessings. New home. Healthy boy.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that they\u2019d spent their Christmas Eve FaceTiming friends \u201cincluding a few in Britain\u201d and watching \u201cArchie running around the tree.\u201d<\/p>\n This comes as Harry and Meghan "would love to" spend Christmas in the UK but "haven't been invited" by King Charles, a pal has claimed.<\/p>\n The couple last spent Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham in 2018 before their acrimonious move to the US.<\/p>\n But now a friend says that the couple want to see more of Charles – who has never spent a Christmas with their children Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n The friend told The Sunday Times: "I can\u2019t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty.<\/p>\n "As of yet, there have not been any invitations for the holidays<\/span>."<\/p>\n Buckingham Palace declined to comment.<\/p>\nMore on the royals<\/h2>\n
