**Hannah Waddingham Praises Kate Middleton at Royal Variety Performance**

Hannah Waddingham, known as the Queen of Christmas after the success of her Apple TV special, didn't shy away from showering compliments on Kate Middleton while subtly throwing shade at Meghan Markle during their recent encounter at a London Red Carpet event.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, were all smiles as they crossed paths with Hannah Waddingham, the reigning Queen of Christmas, at the Royal Variety Performance held at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London.

Amid ongoing discussions about the Danish version of Omid Scobie's controversial book, “Endgame,” which alleged concerns within the royal family regarding the color of Prince Archie's skin, William and Kate appeared unfazed.

The trio shared moments of joy and laughter at the event, showcasing a genuine camaraderie despite the heated conversations surrounding race.

Hannah Waddingham dazzled in a striking single-shouldered gold gown, exuding elegance and grace at the event.

Photographs captured the trio's beaming smiles, reflecting their genuine delight in each other's company amidst the media frenzy sparked by Scobie's book, which reportedly implicated King Charles and Kate Middleton.

The Queen of Christmas earned her title following the success of her Apple TV special, a one-hour musical extravaganza recorded live at the Coliseum in London.

Her performance of beloved Christmas classics was lauded by critics, with The Independent likening it to a classic variety show and The Guardian hailing it as an event capable of melting even the Grinch's heart.

During an interview backstage at the Royal Variety Performance, Hannah Waddingham shared her warm impression of Kate Middleton, describing the Princess as kind, warm, and genuinely polite.

This portrayal contrasts with the depiction of Kate in Meghan and Ahmed Scobie's book, where she is portrayed as cold and distant.

As the Dutch translation of the book and the controversies surrounding Meghan and Harry continue to unfold, Hollywood seems to be gradually distancing itself from the couple.

While the entertainment industry's ties to the British royal family can be advantageous, recent events have led to a shift in perception, with many in Hollywood growing disillusioned with Meghan and Harry.

While some celebrities may still support the couple, the prevailing sentiment in Hollywood appears to be moving away from them.

Meghan's attempts to integrate herself into Hollywood, including photobombing events for attention, may not be enough to salvage their reputation in the eyes of the industry.

As tensions rise, it remains to be seen who will face the repercussions first in Hollywood due to the growing discontent with Meghan and Harry.
