LONDON: Princess Eugenie has made a big offer to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as their newly purchased villa in Portugal is not ready for them to visit anytime soon, a new report has revealed.
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not received any invitation from the Royal family for their annual get together at Sandringham.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were considering celebrating the occasion at their £3.6 million villa but it needs renovation, Closer Magazine reported.
To help the couple, Prince Andrew’s daughter made a generous offer to them, telling the couple that they could use her villa in Portugal for the holidays, Closer Magazine reported citing an insider source.
“Europe could have been an option for Christmas if the villa was ready,” the magazine reported quoting the insider speaking about Harry and Meghan’s Christmas plans.

“Eugenie has offered her villa for their use during the holidays, so that’s an alternative, though Portugal isn’t widely known for winter festivities,” the magazine quoted the insider as saying.
However, an insider has shared that Harry and Meghan will spend the festive season at their Montecito home with the Duchess’ mother, Doria Ragland.
Eugenie’s offer comes after the members of the Royal family warned her to stay away from the Sussexes, especially Meghan Markle, In Touch Weekly reported.
According to the publication, Eugenie and her husband, Jack, spent time with Harry and Meghan in Portugal. Following this, the Royal family asked the Princess to maintain distance from the Duchess.
The report also revealed that Harry and Meghan turned down an offer to spend the festive season with Princess Diana’s family, the Spencers, at Althorp.
“This could be their last Christmas at home,” the source told the publication, “so they will spend it together this year to make it extra special.”
“Meghan’s mum Doria will join them at home in Montecito and they’ll ensure the children have a joyful day, despite not being around extended family,” the insider added.
