Meghan Markle's got a busy holiday ahead of her!
The former Suits star will be spending Christmas with her fiance, Prince Harry, and the royal family, at Queen Elizabeth II's country estate, Sandringham, Et previously reported -- and now we have a breakdown of all the holiday traditions Markle will experience for the first time.
"Firstly, it's important to stress that this is a completely new departure from Christmas with reference to the royal family. Normally, the protocol is pretty strict," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams tells Et. "In the past, when Kate Middleton was engaged to William and also when Mike Tindall was engaged to Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Phillips, they didn’t, as [an] unmarried [couple], spend Christmas with the queen."
"Obviously Meghan’s parents are in the United States, but the main reason [Markle is invited] is clearly that it’s what Harry wished," he continues. "But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it wasn’t...

It seems Meghan Markle is having no problem at all ingratiating herself into the royal family.
The 36-year-old actress was a guest alongside her fiancé, Prince Harry, at Queen Elizabeth II's annual staff Christmas Party at Windsor Castle, People reports. According to the outlet, the queen used the occasion to welcome Markle into the fold and introduce her to the members of her staff that she'll need to know.
The party, attended by Queen Elizabeth, her son, Prince Andrew, and a few of her cousins, was held for several hundred guests in Windsor Castle's Waterloo Chamber, St. George's Hall and the Grand Reception Room, where Markle and Harry will hold their wedding reception.
Markle's presence at the staff party comes just days after Kensington Palace confirmed that she'll spend Christmas with the royal family at the queen's country home, Sandringham, in Norfolk, England. The Suits star is the first unmarried partner to be on the guest list...

Meghan’s Christmas Prince! After weeks of speculation about Meghan Markle’s holiday plans, Kensington Palace confirmed to Et on Wednesday that Prince Harry’s fiancée will officially be joining the royal family for Christmas festivities.
“You can expect to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, and Ms. Markle at Sandringham on Christmas Day,” a Kensington Palace spokesman tells Et.
This is a break in tradition for the royal family, who in the past have only extended Christmas invites after a couple is officially wed.
The Sandringham House is Queen Elizabeth's private estate in Norfolk, England, where the family tends to spend the holidays. Last year Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip skipped their annual trip there as they were suffering from heavy colds.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but it’s not easy being the sibling of a monarch either.
On Netflix’s “The Crown,” Jared Harris and Vanessa Kirby play father and daughter royals, King George VI and Princess Margaret, both of whom had their fates changed by divorce. Today, their stories have been overshadowed by Queen Elizabeth II, who has reigned for more than 60 years. “The Crown” has dredged up their stories for a new generation.

Before ever tackling a role such as these though, most British actors have already formed some sort of an opinion about the Royal Family.

Fred Astaire ca. 1935. Fred Astaire movies: Dancing in the dark, on the ceiling on TCM Aug. 5, '15, is Fred Astaire Day on Turner Classic Movies, as TCM continues with its “Summer Under the Stars” series. Just don't expect any rare Astaire movies, as the actor-singer-dancer's star vehicles – mostly Rko or MGM productions – have been TCM staples since the early days of the cable channel in the mid-'90s. True, Fred Astaire was also featured in smaller, lesser-known fare like Byron Chudnow's The Amazing Dobermans (1976) and Yves Boisset's The Purple Taxi / Un taxi mauve (1977), but neither one can be found on the TCM schedule. (See TCM's Fred Astaire movie schedule further below.) Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals Some fans never tire of watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing together. With these particular fans in mind, TCM is showing – for the nth time – nine Astaire-Rogers musicals of the '30s,...
