Meghan Markle and Prince Harry jet off on tropical Christmas holiday with kids

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly jetted off to Central America for a warm, sunny holiday before Christmas, with their kids in tow.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted in Costa Rica with their son Prince Archie, 4, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 2, CRHoy.com reported on Thursday.

The couple reportedly landed in the country's capital on December 14, but packed their bags and headed home a week later on the 20th.

The local outlet said that they travelled to Zapotal, Nandayure and Guanacaste.

Though the couple have kept mum on their plans for Christmas Day, there is speculation the Duke and Duchess are open to joining the royals in the UK to celebrate.

Royal reporter and host of the podcast Pod Save The King, Russell Myers, told Today it would be a "Christmas miracle" if this were to happen.

"I can't see it happening but the rumours in Hollywood are swirling and the rumours in Sandringham are swirling that Harry and Meghan are up for a royal reunion and why wouldn't they be?" Myers explained.

"This is Harry, he's trying to reach out to his father, we had a birthday call, we had the video call from the grandchildren," Myers continued. "He's had a couple of court cases here in the UK and maybe he's up for some Christmas cheer."

Myers pointed out that even just the last 12 months have been filled with "mud-slinging" from Harry and Meghan's camp, kicking off with his memoir Spare which was released in January.

"And that certainly hasn't been forgotten," he said. "There certainly needs to be some cooling of relations as far as some members of the family are concerned towards the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"However isn't Christmas a great time to get the family together and let bygones be bygones."

Earlier this month, Meghan and Harry released their 2023 holiday card. It features a photo that was taken at the 2023 Invictus Games' closing ceremony, which was held in Düsseldorf, Germany in September.

"We wish you a very happy holiday season. Thanks for all the support in 2023!", the virtual greeting, which also links to the Archewell Foundation's annual impact report, reads.
