Richard Kay, royal expert and columnist, said in the Channel 5 2022 documentary “Harry & Meghan Vs The Monarchy”: “Christmas is a very, very important part of the Queen’s calendar. She likes to draw her family around her. “She and Prince Philip were getting older. “They knew there would be no more Christmas and they must have been disappointed.” Relationship psychologist Anjula Muntanda suggested that the Sussex may have wanted to move away from a situation they considered “difficult and painful”. Speaking about the couple’s six-week break, Ms Muntanda said: “What you sometimes do, psychologically for yourself, is take yourself away from a situation that you find difficult and painful and put yourself in a situation. space that you think might be more encouraging. and safe and secure. “ Prince Philip’s funeral was the first time Harry had returned to the United Kingdom since leaving – the Duke of Sussex visited again to unveil a statue of his late mother, Princess Diana.
