Hannah Waddingham, known as the Queen of Christmas, didn’t hold back in openly complimenting Kate Middleton while slyly taking a dig at Meghan Markle during their encounter at the London Red Carpet event.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate, appeared in high spirits as they crossed paths with Hannah Waddingham, the newly crowned Queen of Christmas, at the Royal Variety Performance in London.
This annual event, held at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, took place amidst ongoing discussions about the Danish version of Omid Scobie’s controversial new book, Endgame.
The book claimed that two senior members of the royal family had expressed concerns about the color of Prince Archie’s skin.
However, this ethnic controversy didn’t seem to affect William and Kate, as they shared moments of laughter and joy with Hannah Waddingham at the event.
Hannah Waddingham, celebrated for her Apple TV special, looked stunning in a single-shouldered gold gown.
Despite the heated discussions surrounding race, the trio seemed genuinely delighted to be in each other’s company, evident in their beaming smiles captured in photographs.
Media organizations, including The Guardian and The Times, widely reported that the individuals mentioned in the book were King Charles and Kate Middleton.
Hannah Waddingham’s status as the Queen of Christmas stems from the success of her Apple TV special, which was recorded live at the Coliseum in London.
The one-hour special showcased the Ted Lasso star delivering musical performances of beloved Christmas classics.
The Independent described it as an old-fashioned variety show, while The Guardian praised it as an event that not even the Grinch could dampen.
During an interview backstage at the Royal Variety Performance, a reporter asked Hannah Waddingham about her impression of Kate Middleton.
Responding with warmth, Hannah described the Princess as warm, genuinely nice, and polite.
Her remark appears to contrast with claims made by Meghan and Ahmed Scobie in their new book, where Kate is portrayed as cold.
Now that the Dutch translation of the book and the numerous controversies surrounding Meghan and Harry have come to light, it seems that Hollywood is gradually distancing itself from the couple.
While Hollywood does not solely rely on its association with the British royal family, the connection can be beneficial for actors and their causes.
However, Hollywood is unlikely to publicly denounce Meghan and Harry unless there is undeniable proof of mistreatment, such as a lawsuit like the one filed by Lizzo’s former non-UK aides.
Nevertheless, it appears that the majority of Hollywood is growing disillusioned with Meghan and Harry, with some celebrities still seeking to align themselves with the couple.
Meghan, on the other hand, aspires to be part of Hollywood now, going as far as photobombing events to gain attention.
