Instead of commenting on the “Harry & Meghan” documentary series, the British royals are concentrating on a traditional Christmas concert.
While the world is talking about the new episodes of the documentary series “Harry & Meghan” by Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41, the British royals gave themselves at a traditional Christmas concert. According to the Times, the family seemed “taken”.
Prince William + Co.: The royals as a unit
Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, who again hosted the event, appeared with her husband Prince William, 40. Their son Prince Louis, 4, was not present but the couple had their older children, Prince George , 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, brought to the service at Westminster Abbey.
King Charles, 74, and King’s wife Camilla, 75, were also there – along with numerous other family members. According to the British Daily Mail, Kate’s parents were Carole, 67, and Michael Middleton, 73, her sister Pippa, 39, and brother James, 35, Mike, 44, and Zara Tindall, 44, Sophie von Wessex, 57, or Princess Eugenie, 32, and Princess Beatrice, 34, present. More than 1,800 people had gathered to attend the Christmas service and concert.

The event will be broadcast on UK channel ITV1 as part of a ‘Royal Carols: Together At Christmas’ special on Christmas Eve. The Royal Foundation had announced in advance that the service would combine classic and modern elements. The evening was not only intended to highlight the efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK. The event is also dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, † 96, who died in September.
Which documentary?
William and Kate are said to have not watched the Harry & Meghan Netflix series, according to an insider cited by Page Six. However, they were informed of the content. There are also claims that King Charles will never watch the six-part Netflix miniseries either.
In the documentary, Harry and Meghan describe, among other things, how they left Great Britain. They talk about a miscarriage that Meghan made public in 2020, problems with the Duchess’s mental health and a supposed lack of support from the royals. “There was no other option. We had to get out of there,” Harry realized after there had been a “terrible” meeting with the family shortly before: “My brother yelled at me. My father said things that weren’t true .”
