Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were excluded from the Queen's Christmas broadcast photo display in 2019.
So when the Queen decided not to have a photo of Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie on the set for her Christmas broadcast in 2019, it was anything but a simple oversight.
"I think this is a turning point. There are all sorts of subtle messages that are conveyed in this kind of soap opera that goes on," royal biographer Christopher Andersen told."In 2018, she sat there in front of a Christmas tree. She gave her Christmas address and there were the family photos. … Including Archie and Meghan and Harry, very prominently displayed.
The message was clear."So there you had, in photographs right next to the Queen, the people that clearly were most important to her. The Cambridges, all of them. Her [father], King George VI, and [Prince] Philip," Andersen added. It's not particularly surprising that Prince Harry didn't take it well."I think that was hurtful [for him to see]," the author explained."A friend of Harry’s told me that he felt that he was being erased in a sense from the family. And it was right after that, that they made their [decision to leave the U.K.]. I think that was one of the things that prompted them to issue the statement that they were stepping back from royal [life for a] full-time real life.
"It seems very subtle, but when you think about it, when somebody cuts you out of the family album, so to speak, it’s a pretty strong message." You don't say.
