So far, the members of the British royal family have not said a word about Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary. But maybe you just have to read between the lines. Just like Prince William's speech at the Christmas concert in Westminster Abbey.
Prince William paid tribute to his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II at the traditional Christmas concert in London's Westminster Abbey on Thursday evening. According to the British Daily Mail, he read a passage from the late monarch's 2012 Christmas message at the concert, which will be broadcast on ITV on December 24.
The Queen said she was "always gripped by the spirit of togetherness" during the festive season. It is a time "when we remember that God sent his only Son "to serve".
William's appeal for "togetherness" coincided with the release of the second part of the Netflix documentary about Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, in which the heir to the throne's brother and his wife make serious allegations against the royal family. An accident?
The palace had previously announced that this year's service was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II and the values for which the queen, who died in September, stood. These included empathy, faith, compassion and the support of other people.
The Royal Family then also showed demonstrative cohesion in Westminster Abbey. So were King Charles III. and King's Consort Camilla, Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton, her sister Pippa and brother James, Mike and Zara Tindall, Sophie of Wessex and Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
William's wife Kate hosted the event. The couple left their four-year-old son Louis at home, while their son George and daughter Charlotte were with them. Charlotte in particular knew how to charm the observers. The little princess wore a burgundy coat dress by Trotters Heritage and paired it with navy tights. Her hair fell loose in a braid over her shoulders.
Kate also wore a burgundy coat dress by Eponine and completed the look with a matching clutch bag and pointed-toe pumps by Gianvito Rossi. She wore her hair in glamorous waves falling over her shoulders and chose golden earrings to go with her outfit. The mother-daughter duo was showered with compliments for their partner look. "The coat dress is beautiful and it's cute how Princess Charlotte is dressed in a matching shade," wrote one Twitter user. "Princess Charlotte will be the favorite fashion icon for generations to come!" opined another.
