Prince Harry was reportedly sighted hiking near Horth Hill. Mrs. Koffel recounted:

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry’s Christmas Plans Revealed
Meanwhile, it is very unlikely for Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Archie, and Lilibet to come back to the U.K. for Christmas, especially after Queen Elizabeth canceled her pre-Christmas lunch plans due to the surge of COVID-19 cases in the country. Though the Sussexes did not confirm anything, most of their supporters want to see them get reunited with the other members of the royal family this holiday season.
An unnamed source told PageSix:
"There’s a lot that goes into the logistics and the planning of the family Christmas, so of course, staff know that Harry and Meghan are not coming. If they were, they would have communicated it to their family by now. But this is Her Majesty’s first Christmas without her husband, so one would have hoped they would want to be with her.”
Geo TV claimed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has sponsored their own holiday parade in Montecito. It was even reported that the former Suits actress cheerfully looked for Christmas presents for their family and close pals.
