King Charles III found himself navigating a tumultuous year, largely shaped by the revelations brought forth by his son, Prince Harry, and Duchess Meghan Markle.
Their documentary and autobiographical book unveiled previously unknown details, exposing the challenges within the British monarchy.
While speculation abounds regarding a potential reconciliation between the king and Prince Harry in the upcoming year, media and royal experts have already drawn conclusions about King Charles III's notable Christmas speech, which conspicuously omitted any mention of Meghan Markle.
The rationale behind this omission appears to stem from the serious consideration given to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to step down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.
Respecting their choice, the king seemingly opted not to include them in the Christmas speech, acknowledging their departure from the royal fold.
In certain circles, experts go further, suggesting that the king may no longer regard the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as family members due to the perceived damage caused and their relinquishment of royal duties.
As 2024 unfolds, the prospect of continued tensions and disputes between the two families looms on the horizon.
