The video is about Princess Anne’s subtle shade towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Princess Anne rarely speaks directly about her estranged nephew and his wife, but she’s not above dropping a discreet dig here and there. During a recent CBC interview, she threw in her two cents on the whole “slim down monarchy” idea, a concept that seems to have grown in popularity since certain senior Royals decided to step down and move to the United States. Princess Anne commented that slimming down the monarchy “may have been justifiable,” but went on to clarify that from where she stands, the idea of cutting down Royal roles “doesn’t exactly look great now.” This was seen as a veiled swipe at Harry and Meghan’s dramatic exit.   

The video also discusses the Sussexes’ security concerns. Harry has been pining over the idea that he needs a separate security detail just to show up at Sandringham. If they had the audacity to step foot in the UK for Christmas, they would be enveloped in the king’s own security bubble. However, the king’s security is not good enough for the former Spare and his briefcase bride.

The video concludes by saying that the Sussexes’ perennial holiday saga has hit yet another brick wall. No Christmas invitation, no royal family gatherings, and absolutely no chance of them ever being back in the fold. It’s a hard truth for them to face, but this Christmas will be just like every other for the Sussexes: dull, drab, and decidedly devoid of royal cheer.
