“They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” Harry says in the new trailer for a Netflix documentary about him and Meghan, “but they never managed to tell the truth to protect us.” Harsh words that suggest the Sussexes will focus on tensions within the royal family before, during and after #Megxit in the final three episodes, which air tomorrow. There are many expectations, and even if William, Kate and King Charles have kept quiet about this, there is no easy period for the royal family. No matter what, it seems that the Sussexes will still be involved in the traditional Christmas gift exchange.
“Believe it or not, the Princes of Wales and the Dukes of Sussex will be exchanging Christmas gifts this year.” commented royal expert Roya Nikkhah al Sunday Times. There seems to be a pretty reasonable explanation behind this, always the same when it comes to family crises: It’s unfair when kids end up being punished by drama. “Even if there is no good relationship between the couples, William and Kate will not deprive Archie (three years old) and Lilibet (one year old) of a gift under the tree,” Nikha added, and the same goes for George, Charlotte and Louis, whom they will receive gifts from California from their uncles.
However, it will be a tradition only for the benefit of the children: it is believed that adults, William, Kate, Harry and Meghan, will be wary of giving themselves gifts. At this point, the gulf between the two brothers seems unbridgeable. especially given the timing of the documentary’s release, just in time for William and Kate’s US tour. This time, Wilhelm is unlikely to let it go, and there are those who argue that the future king has no intention of letting his little brother get away with it, even if he has chosen to refrain from commenting for now. In fact, members of the royal family do not welcome the fact that the Sussexes continue to talk about their turbulent relationship with the family, attracting attention and media hype. On the other hand, Harry and Meghan seem determined to continue their business, which is mostly fueled by popularity and controversy. Gifts or not, this is not going to be a peaceful Christmas at the Windsor house.
