10 Times Queen Elizabeth Broke Royal Protocol

She let Meghan Markle stay for Christmas, even before she was married to Prince Harry

According to the royal traditions, every Christmas the royal family has to gather at Sandringham, the Queen’s private estate in Norfolk, where they exchange gifts and walk to the church together and spend some quality time. While the occasion is only celebrated within the family and married couples only, during 2017 Christmas, Meghan Markle was invited to the gathering even before she was married to Prince Harry.
