King Charles' clever Christmas speech move to avoid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fury

King Charles’ decision to move the Christmas speech away from Buckingham Palace has avoided questions being asked about his relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, an expert has claimed.The King’s Speech was year recorded in Fitzrovia Chapel in central London this year, the first time in more than a decade that the annual Christmas broadcast hasn’t been recorded at Buckingham Palace or a royal estate.Royal biographer Robert Hardman believes the move away from a royal setting means the King won’t have to deal with microanalysis of the setting.

Royal watchers often comment and critique the portraits and pictures shown in the speech.The late Queen Elizabeth II was criticised for asking for “generosity and sacrifice” while sitting in front of a “gold” piano.

The instrument was gilded in the 19th century by Queen Victoria.And the selection of royal portraits on desks during the speech has often sparked discussion, particularly when Harry and Meghan's weren't visible.In the Daily Mail, Hardman wrote: “There can also be some advantages in moving the recording away from home.

In 2018, the Queen came under attack on social media for asking for ‘generosity and self-sacrifice’ during an address recorded from the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace.“Anti-monarchists grumbled that she was speaking in front of a ‘gold piano’, a gilded 19th-century piece commissioned for Queen Victoria.
