Meghan and Harry Absent as King Charles Sends Powerful Message in Christmas Footage

In a surprising turn of events, has sent a poignant message through his Christmas footage, leaving out and Meghan Markle along with Prince Andrew.

The King's annual Christmas speech featured a video montage showcasing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate and William, engaging in volunteer work with their children, as well as footage of and Prince Edward.

However, there was no sign of and Meghan or the disgraced Prince Andrew.

Following the traditional royal Christmas service at Sandringham, Charles took the opportunity to pay tribute to the dedicated Britons who devote their lives to service.

His speech this year honored all the working royals and highlighted significant moments from the past 12 months.

The most notable event was the King's coronation on May 6th, depicted through video clips capturing pivotal moments, including King Charles and Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The King also acknowledged the contributions of other key members of the royal family, such as the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children, Prince George, , and .

Throughout the 10-minute address, accompanying video clips showcased all senior working royals, including the Queen herself, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Princess Royal.

However, the montage noticeably omitted Prince Harry and Meghan, who spent Christmas in Los Angeles, as well as Prince Andrew, who has faced controversy in recent times.

It was a thoughtful gesture on the King's part to include video clips of his beloved son, daughter-in-law, their three children, and the active working royals at the conclusion of his speech.

Through these visuals, King Charles effectively conveyed his message without explicitly mentioning any names.

His emphasis on service to others and treating everyone with dignity perfectly aligned with the actions of the senior royals.

This subtle omission speaks volumes and signifies the King's way of indicating that Meghan and Harry are no longer considered a part of the royal family, albeit in a dignified manner.

It is worth noting that Harry has previously interpreted certain actions as snubs, such as when he perceived a photo of the Queen with Charles, William, and George in 2019 as excluding him.

However, that particular photo was simply a rare depiction of three generations of heirs alongside the reigning monarch, rather than a deliberate snub.

Coincidentally, the release of this Christmas footage comes just as the BBC unveils a new clip from its latest royal documentary, scheduled to air tonight.

The clip captures a heartwarming moment during the coronation rehearsals, where King Charles warmly embraces his grandchildren.

and Princess Kate can be seen arriving at Westminster Abbey with their children, Prince George, , and .

The Bishop of Hereford, Richard Jackson, remarks on the extraordinary affection displayed by the close-knit family across all generations, making it feel like both a family and a national occasion.

In the clip, King Charles affectionately kisses his son William and daughter-in-law Kate before sharing warm hugs with each of his grandchildren.
