Renowned royal commentator, Richard Eden, has offered insights on this video, observing, "One cannot help but question the timing of its release. Why did they choose the very next day? They could have delayed it for a few days if they wished."
Eden further ponders, "Perhaps they had it prepared in advance, with an impact report at the ready and such. However, when one considers that William and Catherine had their own video released on the previous day, it almost seems as though the Sussexes were contemplating, 'When should we unveil this? Let's wait until the palace releases a video.'"
He astutely adds, "This situation accentuates the underlying tension."
This video release coincides with the Sussexes' decision to spend Christmas apart from the royal family in California, while King Charles and his family journey to Norfolk.
