Previous Christmas Address
There are people who have noticed that during the Christmas address in 2018, photos of Harry and Meghan were visible on a table, but there were no such snapshots for the speech in 2019. This led to some onlookers concluding that this was some kind of snub. Arguments actually broke out online, with some individuals claiming the Queen sent some kind of coded message about a feud.
Never So Underhand
When she was interviewed by the Daily Mirror, royal expert Ingrid Seward weighed in on the issue in December 2019. She claimed on that occasion that the photos arranged for the Queen’s broadcast seemed to appear to “represent the idea of a slimmed-down monarchy. All the media problems with Harry and Meghan must have worried [the Queen].” Regardless, she said the Queen “would never be so underhand as to deliberately omit their picture.”
