Harry and Meghan have a habit of buying their Christmas trees at the very start of December. Back in 2016, they were seen buying a £65 Nordmann Fir from Pines and Needles in Battersea Park, south London at the start of the month.

It's likely, therefore, that Harry and Meghan will again head out to buy their Christmas tree sometime this week.
It has been speculated that they could meet up with Prince William and Princess Kate during their visit to Boston – although given the distance from their home it seems unlikely.
