Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "work as a unit" in their "normal relationship", according to a royal insider.
The couple are preparing to spend Christmas at their home in California with their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
The source, who knows the couple, has suggested that the former working royals "are going to be criticised no matter what."
They said: "When they're together, there's headlines that Meghan is too controlling or trying to be the star of the show."

"The Duke and Duchess are a married couple and in a normal relationship, you don't do every single thing together," the source told Page Six.
"They also have to raise a five and a three-year-old and somebody has to remain in California while the other person is out of state.
"It also wouldn't make sense for Meghan to be the focal point for Harry's patronages, and the same goes for Meghan's philanthropic efforts, for example if it's something to do with women, which is near and dear to her heart.
Despite the couple undergoing separate engagements, the pair are still engaging in joint projects, with their latest Netflix project, Polo, releasing on December 10.

The source describes their joint projects as "appropriate overlap".
"For example when they went to Columbia to further the work of their foundation, then you see them work as a unit," they add.
The couple launched the Archewell Foundation in December 2020, nearly a year since they stepped down as senior working royals.
Both royals collaborate on philanthropy projects with the charity and have been widely praised for their work.

Meghan found speculation regarding their marriage draining, according to a separate source.
The source said: "She has really felt the strain in recent weeks, and with all the speculation surrounding her and Harry and their marriage.
"They haven't done themselves any favours by doing so many separate events but this is what they have decided to do as it works best for them at the moment as a couple and they both feel they can shine at events that are close to their hearts.
"But it does upset her that, while Harry was getting praised for all of his appearances, she is getting criticised for what she says, what she wears etc and it brings back hurtful memories of when she was a royal."
