Meghan Markle’s release date for her upcoming Netflix Christmas special could overshadow Princess Kate‘s carol concert, according to one royal commentator. Kinsey Schofield, host of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, said the Duchess had suggested the festive episode of With Love, Meghan, would air in November at last month’s Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit, but appeared to have changed her mind before a release date of December 3 was announced this week.

While a date for the Princess of Wales’ annual concert has not been confirmed, it is expected to take place in the first week of December. Ms Schofield told Talk TV: “Are we going to talk about the fact that it directly conflicts with Catherine’s carol concert? She’s done this so it’s released basically the day before. The reason why I think that’s interesting, or the date specifically is interesting, is because she either didn’t know, she lied or plans changed.”

The royal commentator also poked fun at the Christmas special’s tagline, which urges viewers to “embrace traditions and make new ones this holiday season”. “You do have to make a lot of new traditions when you have no friends and family left, so I get that,” she said.
