Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Latest Holiday Card: A Masterpiece of Delusion
Where to begin with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest holiday card? Let’s just say it’s a masterpiece of delusion, with the highlight being their latest attempt to push the Spencer Gene narrative. On December 16th, the Sussexes released their 2024 holiday card, and it’s certainly a spectacle. Of the six photos shared, the top middle shot is drawing all the attention. It features Harry, Meghan, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, standing in a picturesque embrace with their family dogs.
For the first time since the Netflix docuseries two years ago, we get a glimpse of the Sussex children. Although we can't clearly see their faces, don’t worry—we've been treated to a rare shot of them running towards their parents. However, the real drama isn't in the blurry photo itself. No, it’s what Harry’s been saying that’s truly the source of intrigue. According to him, the kids have inherited the red hair gene from his side of the family—the mighty Spencer line. Harry claims the Spencer gene is "very, very strong."
Well, Harry, if you say so, I’m sure Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Lady Jane Fellowes, and Earl Charles Spencer would be thrilled to know their genes are being touted as the family’s saving grace. Spencer gene strong, really? From a blurry picture of the kids' backs, we’re all supposed to accept this as gospel truth? A shot of the back of a child's head is somehow enough to crown these kids as the rightful heirs to Diana’s legacy?
And speaking of genetics, let's talk about the claim that the Spencer "ginger gene" supposedly trumps everything else. We're not geneticists, but last time I checked, red hair is a recessive trait. So unless Meghan’s genes have magically turned into some kind of ginger-wielding superpower we didn’t know existed, the whole Spencer redhead thing seems a bit of a stretch. But sure, Harry, let’s keep pushing that narrative. There’s definitely no hint of other genetic influences there, right?
If these kids were truly as ginger-strong as claimed, it might be worth explaining how Lilibet’s supposed 43% Nigerian heritage suddenly fits into the equation. The real kicker here is how utterly obsessed Harry and Meghan are with the Spencer lineage. Sure, it’s Diana’s family, but let’s not pretend they don’t have other roots, too. Doria Ragland’s side of the family seems to be conveniently forgotten, as the Spencers take center stage.
And don't even get me started on their fans, or "squaddies" as they affectionately call themselves, who are doubling down on their only grandchild looking like Diana. But here’s the thing: we haven’t seen Lilibet’s face in years! That’s right, she’s been a mystery baby since her first birthday. So, how exactly are they drawing these conclusions from the back of her head? Are we all pretending to see Diana in there?
Then there’s the contradiction of it all. They constantly push for privacy for the kids, yet here's a photo of them—the back of their heads, no less—featured on a holiday card. I can’t be the only one who finds this laughably hypocritical. They claim to want to shield the kids from the public eye, but this kind of stunt is exactly how you keep them front and center. Privacy, but only when it’s convenient for you.
The whole Spencer gene talk is a mess—narcissistic, delusional, and frankly, getting old. The truth is, Meghan and Harry are so desperate to attach themselves to Diana’s legacy that they’ll do anything to keep that flame alive. Even if it means pushing out blurry photos and unsubstantiated claims to the world. With all their wealth and royal connections, you’d think they could have figured out how to not look so ridiculous.
