In a lively Sunday edition of Daily Nerd Live, hosted by Steph, also known as the Alternerd, the spotlight was on Prince Harry‘s 40th birthday.
Joined by her co-host Magi the Black Owl, the duo celebrated with a roast bonanza, complete with surprise guests popping in throughout the show.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was not just the festivities but a striking omission in the royal family’s birthday wishes for Prince Harry.
The controversy began when it was revealed that Meghan Markle was noticeably absent from a photo shared by King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Catherine.
This particular image dates back to July 2018, during a royal visit to Ireland when Meghan and Harry were still active members of the royal family.
The full picture shows the couple alongside other royals at a round table, but in the version shared for Harry’s birthday, Meghan was cropped out completely.
Viewers were quick to react.
“What do you mean?” one commenter exclaimed, noting the stark absence of Meghan in the birthday tribute.
The hosts chimed in, expressing disbelief at the blatant exclusion.
It seemed as if Meghan had been erased from royal history, leading to an uproar among fans and followers alike.
The atmosphere was charged, with Steph humorously suggesting that dishes were being smashed in Montecito, hinting at Meghan’s likely reaction to this royal snub.
The royal family’s decision to use this particular photo raised eyebrows.
Why choose an image that included Meghan only to cut her out?
It appeared to be a calculated move, with both King Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge participating in this act of exclusion.
The hosts couldn’t help but admire the audacity of the move, dubbing it a masterclass in pettiness.
Adding to the drama, Steph recalled a recent art gallery showing featuring royal portraits where Meghan was also absent.
The lack of representation for both Meghan and her children, including Archie, fueled speculation about the royal family’s intentions.
It became evident that this was not just a one-time occurrence but part of a broader pattern of exclusion.
As the conversation continued, the question arose: why would the royal family publicly acknowledge Harry’s birthday after years of tension?
The hosts teased that they would delve deeper into this topic later in the show, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
Magi humorously remarked that King Charles was indeed the “King of Pettiness,” delighting in the sheer boldness of the royal family’s actions.
Audience reactions poured in, with some suggesting that Harry seemed happier in the photo because Meghan was absent.
Comments flew about the dynamics of their relationship at the time, with cheeky references to their honeymoon phase.
The hosts leaned into the humor, even planning to roast Harry further as the live stream progressed.
As the segment unfolded, the playful banter continued, with Steph and Magi engaging the audience and encouraging them to share their thoughts.
They highlighted the absurdity of the situation while maintaining a lighthearted tone.
The discussion was peppered with laughter and witty remarks, making it clear that they were enjoying the unfolding drama.
In a twist of fate, the hosts hinted at a deeper reason behind the royal family’s public birthday wishes, promising to reveal more in subsequent segments.
This kept the audience engaged, eager to learn about the motivations behind the royal family’s choices.
The playful yet critical commentary showcased the complexities of royal relationships in modern times.
As the show progressed, the camaraderie between the hosts and their audience shone through.
Viewers were treated to a mix of humor, gossip, and royal intrigue, making for an entertaining live experience.
The lively atmosphere suggested that this was just the beginning of a much larger conversation about the royal family and their ongoing saga.
With the promise of more discussions to come, the show left its audience buzzing with excitement.
The antics of the royal family, particularly regarding Meghan Markle, continued to captivate and amuse.
As the live stream rolled on, it became clear that this royal roast was far from over, leaving fans eager for the next chapter in this unfolding drama.
