Princess Catherine—who has shown nothing but grace and dignity despite everything thrown at her—was reportedly considering extending an olive branch to the Sussexes for her Christmas Carol service.
After everything that's happened—the Netflix documentary, that disastrous Oprah interview, and don't even get me started on Spare—how could anyone even think about inviting them? We’re talking about a couple who’s done nothing but trash the institution that Catherine has dedicated her life to serving.
What really gets to me is the sheer audacity of it all. Catherine is organizing this beautiful Christmas Carol service that brings joy to so many people and showcases what real royal service looks like. And then there’s the possibility of the Sussexes turning it into another one of their publicity stunts? No, thank you.
Now, let’s talk about what this carol service really represents. This isn’t just any event; this is Catherine’s signature annual gathering that she started in 2021, and it’s become a beautiful tradition. It’s a moment where we see the true royal family—the ones who actually show up and do the work—coming together to spread Christmas cheer. This year, she’s even invited brave young survivors from the Southport stabbing incident. That’s what real royal work looks like, my friends—not sitting in Montecito doing podcasts and complaining about how hard royal life was.
Can we also take a moment to acknowledge the British public’s opinion on this? According to a recent Express poll, 92.7% of people said no to inviting the Sussexes. The public remembers, and they haven’t forgotten how Meghan came into the monarchy and tried to "modernize" it, without understanding the first thing about what the monarchy means to the British people. And as for Harry, it honestly breaks my heart. Remember when he used to be that cheeky, fun Prince who made us laugh and served his country? Now, it seems like he’s just following Meghan around, making accusations against his own family, betraying the very institution his grandmother devoted her life to.
It’s like watching a Shakespearean tragedy unfold in real time. The palace is absolutely right to put their foot down. This isn’t about being unforgiving—it’s about protecting an institution that has weathered centuries of storms. It’s about standing firm against those who would seek to undermine it for their own personal gain. Everything the Sussexes touch becomes a media circus, and this carol service should be about community, not a platform for their next Netflix project.
What’s really telling is that the Sussexes have never attended this carol service. Not once. Catherine, on the other hand, has been building this tradition, bringing comfort and joy to so many, while they’ve been busy doing interviews, writing tell-all books, and playing the victim in their California mansion.
And let’s talk about timing for a moment. This year’s carol service is happening just as we’re all still processing the chaos from Omid Scobie’s new book. The timing is never a coincidence with these two, is it? It always seems calculated for maximum impact.
I’ve had so many conversations with fellow royal watchers, and they’re just exhausted by the constant drama the Sussexes bring to everything they touch. Remember how peaceful things were before the infamous Sandringham Summit? Before “Megxit” entered our vocabulary? The royal family was united, William and Harry were close, and everything made sense. But here’s what really matters—Catherine has shown us, time and time again, what true royal service looks like. She’s taken every hit, every nasty comment, every cruel comparison, and what has she done? She’s kept her head high, focused on her work, and continued to serve the British people with grace and dignity.
That’s what a future Queen looks like, my friends. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While Catherine is organizing events that bring real value to people’s lives, what are the Sussexes doing? Well, aside from trying to stay relevant in Hollywood and releasing content designed to hurt the royal family, not much.
And can we talk about the actual guests attending this carol service? The survivors from that tragic Southport incident—young people who showed incredible bravery in the face of real trauma. That’s who should be the focus of this event, not an attention-seeking couple who abandoned their royal duties for Hollywood glamour.
The palace’s decision to reject the possibility of inviting the Sussexes isn’t just about protecting an event—it’s about protecting the monarchy itself. It’s about saying enough is enough. You can’t spend years attacking an institution and then expect to be welcomed back with open arms just because it’s Christmas.
What’s especially ironic is the theme of this year’s service: supporting one another. While Catherine is actually supporting people—real people with real struggles—what have Harry and Meghan done, except support their own narrative?
I remember watching Catherine at last year’s Carol service—the way she interacted with every guest, the warmth she showed, the way she made everyone feel special. That’s what royal service is about. It’s not about making headlines or creating drama. It’s about quiet, consistent, meaningful work that makes a difference in people’s lives.
Let’s be honest here—the British public has made their feelings clear. That poll isn’t just numbers on a page; it’s a reflection of how deeply people feel betrayed by the Sussexes’ actions. When 92.7% of people say no to inviting them, that’s a pretty clear message, don’t you think?
Everything the Sussexes touch turns into a media circus. This carol service needs to stay true to its purpose: to bring people together, to support one another, and to celebrate the true spirit of Christmas.
So yes, I completely support the palace’s decision. This event needs to be protected from becoming just another Sussex media circus. It needs to remain what Catherine intended it to be: a beautiful celebration of community and support.
I truly believe history will judge this period clearly. On one side, you’ll have Catherine—graceful, dignified, and dedicated to service. On the other, the Sussexes, who chose Hollywood over duty, publicity over service, and personal gain over family loyalty. The contrast couldn’t be clearer.
