The article discusses the latest developments surrounding the royal family, highlighting the irony felt by Meghan and Harry amidst the recent scandal involving Prince Andrew. With the BBC opting not to provide live coverage of the upcoming Commonwealth Day Service, which has been a prominent royal event in the past, the shift signifies a diminishing interest in royal matters compared to previous years when the presence of Harry and Meghan was notable.

The author notes that just a few years ago, royal events such as the Commonwealth Day Service drew significant public attention, particularly during the tumultuous period of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's final royal engagements. This year, the absence of live coverage by the BBC, which has switched programming to a less relevant show, indicates a change in how the British public and media perceive the royal family, particularly in light of ongoing scandals.

As the royal family prepares to gather for the event, the author suggests that Meghan and Harry may feel vindicated by this turn of events, reflecting on how public and media attention has shifted away from traditional royal narratives. The sense of irony stems from the contrasting public perception of the royals, where once the Sussexes were at the center of royal attention, now it is Andrew's controversy that overshadows the family, perhaps leaving Meghan and Harry with a sense of satisfaction about their departure from royal duties.
