Even in royal families, accidents can occur, as Prince Harry amusingly reveals in his memoir, ‘Spare‘. The Duke of Sussex, aged 39, shares a charming yet unexpected incident involving his son Archie, aged 4, during Christmas in 2020.
Reported by Evoke, the incident began with Meghan Markle, 42, gifting Archie a unique Christmas ornament she found at a local market. This ornament was not ordinary; it was a miniature replica of Queen Elizabeth. Harry humorously noted that the ornament resembled “Granny’s face to a T”. The couple, delighted by the resemblance, decided to place it on their Christmas tree, bringing them joy and smiles.
However, the story takes a twist when young Archie, in his playful antics, accidentally toppled the Christmas tree stand. The unfortunate result was the Queen Elizabeth ornament shattering upon impact. Prince Harry described how he cleaned up the broken pieces with a dustpan.
Adding an intriguing layer to the story, Prince Harry later recounted an interaction with a psychic, who, claiming to possess psychic abilities, brought up the incident. She mentioned a message from Princess Diana, referring to a Christmas ornament related to a mother or grandmother that had broken, causing Diana to giggle.
This candid anecdote from Prince Harry adds a touch of relatability and charm to the royal family’s Christmas experiences.
