Popular British musician Rod Stewart criticized Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.
74-year-old singer and songwriter does not approve of the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex refused to celebrate Christmas with Queen Elizabeth at the Norfolk Manor Sandringham, where Her Majesty traditionally hosts a festive family gathering. Until now, Harry missed him only once - when he served in Afghanistan, they write Facts.

Stewart considers the age of the queen, as well as 98-year-old grandfather Harry Prince Philip a convincing reason not to decline their invitation.
“The Queen is 93 years old. I flew to the other side of the world to be with my mom and dad for Christmas, because I knew they had little left. I am disappointed that Harry and Meghan have decided not to spend Christmas with the Queen ... If I were Harry, I would have thought that there would still be many opportunities to spend Christmas alone or with Megan's mom, ”said Rod, whose parents died at age for 90 years.
Earlier, Megan and Harry, who also ignored the Queen’s invitation to relax in her summer residence at Balmoral Castle, officially announced that they would not come to Sandringham, preferring to spend this family holiday in the United States, with the Duchess's mother, Doria Ragland. This will be the first Christmas in the life of the son of Harry and Megan Archie, who was born in May of this year.

After the announcement of the Sussex decision, the palace noted that Elizabeth supported their intentions. And that previously there were precedents when members of the royal family did not come to Sandringham for Christmas. So, Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated Christmas a couple of times with Kate's parents in Berkshire - including in 2012, when Middleton was pregnant with her firstborn, Prince George. This year Cambridge will celebrate Christmas with Elizabeth.
