Harry and Meghan aren't expected to return to the UK for Christmas for a second year in a row, with reports the couple will spend the festive season with music producer David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee.
Foster, 70, and McPhee, 34, have grown close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following their move to the US and it has been reported Foster introduced the couple to an executive at Netflix, resulting in the lucrative production deal.
"My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry," McPhee told Access Hollywood in May. "They're like, they're so cute. They're like father and son.
"We just stay in touch with them," she continued. "But mostly, Meghan and I knew each other from childhood, but really Harry and my husband are friends. It's really nice."
Foster is just one year younger than Prince Harry's father Prince Charles, 71.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven't seen the British royal family in person since March 2020 during their farewell tour following their resignation as senior members of the British royal family but are thought to have joined in on video calls for special occasions such as Prince Harry's birthday on September 15.
A source has told The Mirror Meghan is keen to host Christmas lunch at the couple's new home in Montecito with her mother Doria Ragland who lives nearby.

"Meghan very much wants to host the first Christmas at their new home with her mum," the source told the publication. "She's really excited and is planning on doing all the traditions she grew up with as a child, including the cooking.
"They've also invited David and Katharine to spend it with them," they continued. "David had mentioned Harry and Meghan going to theirs but Meghan wants it at home.
"They want to get on with their new lives. Christmas with Harry's family is not in the plan."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to spend Christmas of 2019 at a private residence on Vancouver Island with their son Archie who is now 16 months, with Foster facilitating their stay.
Foster told Daily Mail: "I felt honoured that I was able to help Meghan there, because I'm a Canadian and we're a Commonwealth country, we're the Crown's. It's important to us, so I grew up with that kind of sentiment."
He said the "owner has allowed this to happen through me" and he was "happy to facilitate".
"I don't know what their next plans are, but I know that it was reinvigorating for them to spend some downtime," he said at the time. "This is a great testament to my hometown of Victoria that they were able to go under the radar for so long."
Foster was born on Vancouver Island and said he was "really happy to be able to help them find a respite just to take a little time off".
"Katharine went to school with Meghan and her sister went to school with Meghan," he told the publication. "We actually met Meghan and Harry at D-Day in London maybe a year ago. Immediately we were drawn to them, like everybody is, and I was just happy to help."
