In his annual Christmas speech, King Charles delivered what can only be described as the ultimate shade to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and even his own brother, Prince Andrew. Not a single mention of them—can you hear that silent mic drop? It’s as if the King thought, "Why bother with the Royal Misfits when I can praise the hardworking Royals who actually show up?"
His pre-recorded message, filmed at Fitzrovia Chapel, was focused on celebrating the UK's resilience and expressing gratitude to the medical staff who supported him during his cancer treatment. It was a real display of royal duty—acknowledging the people who truly contribute to the monarchy's operations. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan? They were too busy enjoying the Hollywood lifestyle, perhaps on a yacht or basking in the sun, while the rest of the family stayed hard at work serving the people.
King Charles’s decision to completely ignore his son, daughter-in-law, and brother was a textbook example of gray rocking. For those who aren't familiar, gray rocking is when you completely disregard someone who’s craving attention. Let’s face it: Harry and Meghan are the epitome of attention-seeking royalty. They want to be treated like A-listers, but here's the reality—they’re not on the guest list anymore. And yet, they continue to drag their royal titles into everything, hoping the public will remember that they were once part of this prestigious family.
But the truth is, the family has moved on. They’ve become like that embarrassing relative who keeps showing up to family gatherings uninvited, and everyone just pretends they’re not there. At this point, the royal family is actively avoiding mentioning them. Why? Because Harry and Meghan made their choice—they took the royal money, titles, and drama, and ran off to Hollywood. They wanted privacy and financial freedom, and now they’ve got exactly what they wanted.
They’re living in a world where no one cares about them anymore, and King Charles has firmly cemented their place as the irrelevant couple. They’re like forgotten Christmas crackers, left at the back of the cupboard—no one wants them, and no one misses them.
Meanwhile, the new generation of royals is rising, and it’s about time. The Wales children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are out there doing their royal duties with charm and grace. They’re interacting with the public, getting to know their future subjects, and leaving Harry and Meghan in the dust. Guess what? Nobody’s talking about Harry anymore. In fact, we might as well forget he even exists in the royal sphere. He’s just Harry now—no titles, no royal duties, and certainly no Christmas cards from the family.
Remember when Harry and Meghan were upset that their photos didn’t make it onto the Queen's desk? Yeah, not a peep about that anymore. Now it’s just crickets. What’s even more hilarious is how desperate Harry seems to cling to his royal identity. He’ll probably still be tweeting about his latest project while Meghan is working to secure another million-dollar Netflix deal. But the reality is becoming painfully clear—they’re just Harry and Meghan now. The royal spotlight has long since moved on.
So here’s to Harry and Meghan, whose titles are still being used for personal gain, while the rest of the royal family actually gets to work. Harry’s absence is no longer news—it’s just the way things are now. Welcome to the real world, Harry. Enjoy your irrelevance.
