The royal family has faced scathing remarks, with allegations of racial comments concerning Archie's heritage only adding fuel to the fire. While peace talks were rumored earlier this year, recent reports suggest that tensions still simmer beneath the surface, especially between Harry and his brother, Prince William. As the royal family gathered for festive events, Harry and Meghan found themselves conspicuously absent. Royal insiders have whispered about a potentially crushing blow dealt by the family, suggesting that the Sussexes watched from afar as other royal relatives formed closer bonds on Christmas Day.
Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children and the Tindle family, creating a united front. Royal biographer Angela Len described the Wales family and the Tindalls as a solid unit, highlighting the close bond between Charles and Kate. The Tindalls, especially Mike Tindall, have become an integral part of this close-knit circle. Mike's relationship with William is likened to a sibling bond, a connection that some say William lost with Harry's departure.
Jenny Bond, a royal expert, noted the poignant moment when Mike Tindall had his arm around Prince George, emphasizing how he fills the role of the uncle that the royal kids lost with Harry's exit. In this familial tableau, William seems to have found a brotherly figure in Mike Tindall, a cousin by marriage but an uncle in heart and spirit.
The royal family appears more united than ever, and the absence of Meghan and Harry from these family gatherings speaks volumes. The question that lingers is whether Buckingham Palace has made its final move to seal the fate of the Sussexes, signaling that they are no longer needed within the royal fold.
