Prince Harry’s Christmas Chaos—Explosive Royal Feuds, Heart-Stopping War Zones, and Shocking Tragedies! Forget awkward family dinners—Harry’s holidays have been packed with “literal” war, royal betrayals, and emotional bombshells you won’t believe! 👇👇👇

Prince Harry’s past Christmases have involved major drama not only relating to his rift with the royals, but also two tours of Afghanistan.

Many people will find their holiday season populated by conflict, but in the past that has meant literal war for the Duke of Sussex.

In fact, Harry has experienced an unusually large number of major life events around Christmas time—including his decision to quit the palace for a new life in North America.

And the prince, who turned 40 in September, wrote about some of those irreversible moments in his book Spare.

Prince Harry’s Christmas 2002
Perhaps the saddest came in 2002 when he lost his childhood best friend from Ludgrove Prep School, Henry van Straubenzee, who died in a car crash aged 18.

Harry wrote about the parallels with the death of his mother five years earlier in passages in his book: “Two months later, a Sunday morning—just before Christmas 2002.

“The news must have come in the form of a phone call, though I only dimly recall holding the phone, hearing the words. Henners and another boy, leaving a party near Ludgrove, drove into a tree.

“Though the call’s a blur, I vividly remember my reaction. Same as when Pa told me about Mummy. Right…so Henners was in an accident. ‘But he’s in hospital, right? He’s going to be OK?’

“‘No, he wasn’t.’ And the other boy, the driver, had been critically injured. Willy and I went to the funeral.”
