A lot has been transforming for the British Monarchy in the past few months. Following the sad demise of the Queen, his son has now become the rightful successor of the throne with a lot on his plate. However, before he officially resumes The Firm as the Monarch in the month of May 2023, King Charles served the public as the head of the Church on Christmas. Owing to the same, he delivered a speech as is the custom. However, little did Harry and Meghan know that it would come as another blow from the family.

Nevertheless, his words seem to have conceived another wave of controversies and speculations around the Royal Family. Experts meanwhile have put their opinions on the table regarding the takeaways from the King’s speech. The prime highlight of the 2-minutes segment was the complete snub of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by Charles from the speech. The Monarch made it a point to mention everyone but his youngest son and daughter-in-law.

Speaking of which, Royal commentator, Jennie Bond has gone all praises for King Charles. As the King seemingly refrained to comment anything on Harry and Meghan, Bond in Charles’ defense, claimed “if he had mentioned them, it would have obliterated everything else he said“. Charles’ speech mainly focused on the crippling economic condition of the United Kingdom. He also extended his sympathy to the families affected by the high living costs and hardships. 

According to Express UK, the central theme running through the entire framework of the speech was the celebration of “selfless dedication” on the occasion of Christmas. Later in his monologue, Charles also took a moment to praise the national charities and social workers who have lent a helping hand to the welfare of his subjects. He made it a point to express his gratitude to significant personalities and faith groups who are spontaneously working to help Britain stand up on its legs again.

However, the King completely opted out of mentioning his estranged son giving a clear indication of a total fall-out. The said gestures of the King have thus created chaos in social media with experts having their say on the same. “Royal Family are not going to be goaded into a public response and I think that is the most dignified way of going about it,” said Jennie before concluding. Some have even talked about how the Sussex couple was not present at the occasion
