Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tried to make peace with royal relatives

The "Magnificent Four", as the Cambridge and Sussexes were called before the spat, exchanged Christmas gifts at a distance, which Mary Clair reports was seen by royal etiquette experts as a sign of a truce.

After shopping in exclusive boutiques located next to their new home in Montecito, California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sent gifts to Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children, Prince 7-year-old George, 5-year-old 5-year-old Charlotte and 2- summer Louis. Will and Kate gave a symmetrical answer, sending gifts to Harry, Meghan and their 17-month-old son Archie.

As Andrew Morton, royal biographer and author of Diana: A True Story, commented, "Harry sent William and Kate gifts that Meghan signed." Morton also remarked that Harry "plans to talk to his father and brother at Christmas".

It is also expected that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may announce that they are expecting their second child in the coming days. A few days ago, the paparazzi caught them at a medical center in Beverly Hills, where the couple tried to sneak through the back door unnoticed by others. According to the published photos, Meghan was dressed in layered clothing, hiding the outlines of the figure. This prompted speculation that in this way the duchess is trying to disguise the pregnancy.
