The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's request to eat at a local restaurant was rejected, owing to security difficulties that come with hosting the royal couple.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had reportedly planned to eat at Deep Cove Chalet, an upmarket seafood restaurant boasting magnificent waterfront views.
The restaurant’s owners, Bev and Pierre Koffel, turned down a request to host the royal couple for dinner, according to reports.
It will be the third consecutive Christmas that the Duke would be spending away from the Royal Family. He spent the Christmas of 2019 in Canada. Last year, the Sussexes could not travel to the UK due to the restrictions, even if they had wanted to.
Meghan and Harry, who have not revealed where they would spend the festive period, have reportedly celebrate the Christmas at their California home with Archie and Lilibet.
