Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s snub of tradition sparks calls they feel no need or pressure to be all shouty and jubilant
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seemingly snubbed the entire world that has been waiting for their annual Christmas card.
Royal commentator and expert Daniela Elser made these comments in her piece for News.com.au.
The piece in question pointed out the one thing that’s changed for the Sussexes, in recent months and its got to do with their annual Christmas card.
“Back in 2021, the duke and duchess were still putting out an official Christmas card, in that instance an adorable photo taken by their engagement portrait photographer Alexi Lubomirski of the couple and Archie and Lili,” she started by saying.
“It’s an image that could have been ripped from a Ralph Lauren commercial, a denim-clad quartet radiating togetherness, love and a distinctly American wholesomeness. More apple pie, anyone?”
But “We are a long way from that image these days,” Ms Elser noted.
“There is every chance that, right now, Harry and Meghan have just realised they feel no need – or pressure – to be all shouty and jubilant in their happiness and contentment.”
“Whatever has inspired this reset or refresh or synergistic reframing of brand priorities to better catalyse empowered change, the world outside of Montecito has no idea. But would it be too much to ask for another denim-y Christmas card?”
Because “Santa says that we have been very good this year and a heartwarming bit of something nice would not go astray right now,” she added before signing off.
