Kate Garraway asks if Sussexes Xmas card was released to ‘usurp’ the Queen
Kate Garraway has questioned whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Christmas card was released to “usurp” the Queen.
The TV host discussed how the official image – which saw baby Lilibet Diana photographed for the first time – was released on the same day as Her Majesty’s.
Kate, 54, and co-host Richard Bacon discussed the image, which seesThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex alongside their kids Archie, two, and Lilibet, six months.
Showing the first real look at both the children’s faces, the image was released to the public on Thursday on Instagram – much to the delight of Royal fans.
But it pipped Buckingham Palace’s official photograph of the Queen – whose annual speech will be broadcast tomorrow – to the post.
It led Kate and Richard, 46, to speculate whether or not there was a reason the Christmas images were released in such quick succession.
“They released their card half an hour before Buckingham Palace and the Queen did,” Richard explained on Friday morning’s show.
Kate then asked: “So is there a suggestion, Richard, that they kind of did that to in some way usurp the Queen?”
