The source added that the 88-year-old Queen has final say over the guest list. The Christmas Eve dinner, with a menu of roast turkey and plum pudding, is for the royal family only.

Harry has also “developed a fit of the giggles” during the Queen’s Christmas message to the nation one year. These royals sure do know how to have fun!
