During a discussion with GB News, royal commentator Mr. Cole emphasized the significance of family gatherings during Christmas, noting, "...Well, obviously the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in faraway California didn't get the memo because they will not be taking part."
The strained relationship between the Montecito couple and the royal family escalated in 2023, particularly following the release of Omid Scobie’s explosive book, "Endgame," last month.
Resultantly, Harry and Meghan found themselves without an invitation from the royal family and opted to celebrate Christmas in the US with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Expressing his regret, Mr. Cole lamented the missed opportunity for King Charles to meet his grandchildren, deeming it "appalling."
The expert advised Harry and Meghan to "reach out, seek apologies, show the contrition that's necessary," especially considering the ongoing 'royal racists' drama, urging the pair to publicly apologize to their family and home country.
For context, a Dutch version of Omid's book allegedly disclosed the names of two senior royal figures involved in racist conversations about the couple's son, Prince Archie, specifically regarding his skin color.
