In the Netflix bombshell docuseries, Harry & Meghan spilled the tea over what a bare and vulnerable Royal Family looks like behind closed doors. Undoubtedly, the Duke and the Duchess tried their level best to make a space for themselves in the empire. However, all was in vain and the cracks in an age-old empire in shambles started to show early on in 2018 onwards. 

From the beginning till the very end of the treacherous on-and-off journey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle opened up on all of it. The hounding press, feeding frenzy, and everything worse targeted the parents of two who were justifiably called out in their two major volumes of truth bombs. But what was the first step in wishing the Sussexes and the Family went at loggerheads with each other? 

How did a Christmas event divide Harry and Meghan from the family?

In the final episodes of the exclusive six-part-docuseries, Harry and Meghan themselves admitted how the first line of difference came with the Christmas of 2018. As the Duke recalls, the entire family including the Sussexes was supposed to appear for a Christmas Carol together as is the custom. Nevertheless, the Fab four were no more walking together. Prince William and Kate appeared differently while Prince Harry was also seeking space. The sidelined Duke recalls how the offices automatically shifted 

“Actually that was the point that you realized that these offices are separating,” said Prince Harry touching the earliest squabbles of the fallout. Speaking more about the division of work, the young Sussexes loved to share the Wales charity of foundations. In June 2019, officials at the Palace announced the Sussexes would set up their own foundation, later launched as Archewell. It was their executive director, James Holt, who confirmed the fact that every Christmas by Kensington Palace was officially led by Kate Middleton and Prince William.
