So the royal family is all abuzz with worry as King Charles III makes some hushed decisions about who will be admitted to that inner circle. There are reports he’s already dropped Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from the Sandringham Christmas festivities, a major signal of change.
Now, word has it that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be next in line to divorce—prompting a storm of drama and hurt feelings.
This isn’t about old anger for Charles—it’s about keeping the monarchy looking strong and clean. “He’s saving the family’s image at any cost,” a palace source said. “The scandals surrounding Andrew and negative information about Ferguson helped to say no.
But to leave Harry and Meghan out would be huge.” Christmas at Sandringham is a special time for the royals, full of traditions such as church and family walks. The decision not to include the Sussexes would be experienced as a public slap.
Fans are up in arms. RoyalChristmasSnub is trending all over social media. Some cry, “That’s mean—Harry’s family!” While some say, “Charles needs to defend the throne from even more drama!”
The tension follows Meghan’s Hollywood-ing of a palace event guest list and Harry’s aggressive calls for greater control. “If they’re out, it’s a clear message: no more fights,” the insider added.
Queen Kate and Prince William are also reported to feel sorry but back Charles. Camilla, who has had her own fracas with Meghan, says not a word.
King Charles, who is in poor health and desires peace, but this action might not help. Harry and Meghan, in California, have not spoken, but people assume they will be heartbroken.
Is Charles really going to actually ban Harry and Meghan from Christmas, or is that just talk? As if royal secrets such as Camilla’s parentage claim and William’s business deals haven’t put the family in a tight spot.
The holiday snub could be the biggest one yet, marking Christmas as something more than a new pair of socks and a dog-eared Charlie Brown special: evidence of a broken family. They are all waiting to see whether love triumphs or the lines hold.
