Omid Scobie, a Royal correspondent, made the revelation while speaking on "The HeirPod Podcast." He said that Harry and Meghan spent their Thanksgiving celebrating with close family on a long trip to the US.

The revelation by Omid Scobie comes after weeks of speculations regarding where Harry and Meghan would spend their holiday after it was revealed that they would be absent in the Royal Family's Thanksgiving Day celebration at Sandringham Estate.

While some people believed the Sussex Royals spent the holiday in Meghan's hometown in Los Angeles with her mom, Doria Ragland, others thought they went to Canada due to the maple leaf emoji on their Thanksgiving message on Instagram.

In the podcast, Omid Scobie said:

"The Sussexes are away, they're on their break right up until Christmas. They celebrated Thanksgiving privately with close family, which is lovely."

"It's a long trip that they're on, I think we are really going to see them away until Christmas as far as I am ware, which is good for them."
