Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing criticism for being 'self-obsessed' after unveiling their annual Christmas card, which notably excluded their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield, speaking on TalkTV, highlighted the disappointment among global royal fans, emphasizing that Christmas cards serve as a cherished milestone to witness the growth of the royal children. Regarding the Duke and Duchess' holiday card, she remarked, "They finally released their holiday card, and there was just a lack of enthusiasm when it came to fan reception."
Schofield characterized the Montecito couple's card as conveying a "me, me, me" sentiment. The Christmas greetings were conveyed through an email on behalf of their Archewell organization, featuring a photo from the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany.
In their statement, Harry and Meghan wished everyone a joyful holiday season and expressed gratitude for the support received in 2023. However, the notable absence of their children in the festive card drew attention.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reveal their 2023 Christmas Card 🎄 pic.twitter.com/6SdXjMjlK9
