King Charles’ Christmas speech notably sent a powerful message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It looks like the 76-year-old monarch excluded his younger son and wife from his Christmas Day address. The King spoke to the nation recently from London’s Fitzrovia Chapel and applauded the hard work of Prince William and the rest of the family. He deliberately left the Duke and his family out.

Prince Harry Is Permanently Out?
Prince Harry has once again faced the royal snub as his father, Charles, didn’t talk about him in Christmas Day’s speech. The monarch broke royal tradition by delivering his message from London’s former Middlesex Hospital. He addressed the nation from the hospital’s chapel rather than a traditional royal setting, marking a shocking departure from the regular backdrop of family pictures.
According to reports, the King’s speech focused on how UK communities responded to riots. He also paid tribute to the medical staff who supported him and Kate during their difficult cancer treatment. Furthermore, his annual speech featured snippets of Prince William and other royal family members, but there was no mention of Prince Harry and Prince Andrew. Now, a royal expert and historian, Dr Tessa Dunlop, has shed light on the same.
She noted that this address by the King was a sign that he has ‘clearly made up his mind’. While speaking to The Mirror, Dunlop said, “The King has clearly made up his mind about how to ‘act for the good of all.” Choosing to focus on family strengths, not weaknesses, to shore up a nation for a difficult year ahead.” The expert also emphasised that this was a ‘clever film’ that only addressed the importance of current royal family members.
