In November while appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, the brunette beauty — who shares daughter Lilibet, 6 months, and Archie, 2, with Harry — gushed over living on the West Coast with her brood.

"He loves it. ... We moved here during lockdown, exactly when things shut down, so we've just been able to spend a lot of time at home and creating our home, but I think it's just the lifestyle and the weather is pretty great. But we're just happy," she said.

This year, the two will stay put in their lavish abode and not make the trek to be with Harry's family in the U.K.

The source continued, "They'll have some get-togethers with friends and colleagues who've been by their side through thick and thin this year. Though at the end of the day, all that matters to Harry is that they'll be together."
