Kate Middleton Takes a Stand: Slaps Meghan at Christmas Carol Concert
Kate Middleton made headlines as she delivered a painful slap to Meghan Markle during a Christmas Carol concert, causing a stir and overshadowing the Netflix premiere on Thursday, December 15th, 2022.
The event, dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, highlighted the values of duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion, and support for others, as stated by Buckingham Palace.
The concert featured inspirational guests recognized for their tireless efforts in helping and caring for those around them.
Prince William is set to deliver a speech at the concert, joined by King Charles in attendance.
Notably, Catherine Zeta-Jones will narrate the Christmas Eve broadcast of Royal Carols, featuring special guests such as Melanie C, Craig David, Hugh Bonneville, Kristen Scott-Thomas, opera singer Alfie Beaux, and Les Miserables star Samantha Barks.
This announcement coincides with the release of trailers for Harry and Meghan, revealing tensions within the royal family.
The highly anticipated series, with its first half premiering on December 8th and the second volume dropping a week later, has sparked rumors of a rift within the royal household.
Allegations of falsehoods planted by the firm about Harry and Meghan have been circulating since their royal wedding in 2018.
In a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Meghan debunked reports of making Kate cry, asserting that it was Kate who had made her cry during a dress fitting for Princess Charlotte.
Harry also acknowledged strains in his relationship with William, expressing love for his brother but acknowledging their diverging paths.
The brothers briefly reunited in September following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, surprising palace security.
Meanwhile, royal expert Robert Lacey claimed that Prince Harry's friends have described Meghan as a challenging presence, understanding Prince William's reported frustrations.
Lacey highlighted a mix of self-promotion and self-pity characterizing Meghan, which has reportedly irked the royal family.
Despite the rift between the brothers, their mutual friends have hoped for reconciliation, empathizing with both William's loyalty to the monarchy and Harry's defense of his wife.
The complexity of the situation has left many in their shared circle torn between conflicting loyalties, emphasizing the depth of the divide and the pain it has caused.
