Queen Elizabeth II singled out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during her annual Christmas Day speech — saying the birth of baby Archie brought delight to a “bumpy” year.

Previews of the monarch’s televised address sparked fears of a snub because family photos on the Queen’s desk did not include the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are spending Christmas in Canada.

Instead, they were the only royals singled out. The broadcast even included a beautiful image of the couple introducing baby Archie to the Queen and Prince Philip, along with Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland.

“Two hundred years on from the birth of my great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria, Prince Philip and I have been delighted to welcome our eighth great-grandchild into our family,” the Queen said during the pre-recorded speech from the green drawing room of Windsor Castle.

“Of course, at the heart of the Christmas story lies the birth of a child,” she continued of the “seemingly small and insignificant step overlooked by many in Bethlehem.”

Jesus showed how “small steps, taken in faith and in hope, can overcome long-held differences and deep-seated divisions to bring harmony and understanding,” she said.

“The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference,” she said, comments widely taken as a nod to scandals that plagued the royals this year.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex skipped the royal festivities this year, instead spending it in Canada with Meghan’s mom.

The monarch’s Christmas Day speech has been an annual occurrence since 1932, when the first one was made by then-reigning King George V.

The Queen wore a royal blue cashmere dress by Angela Kelly, and a sapphire and diamond Prince Albert brooch, a present from Albert to Queen Victoria on the eve of their wedding in 1840, according to the BBC, which produced the broadcast.
