Prince Harry reportedly whispered a frustrated remark to Princess Eugenie during King Charles's Coronation, expressing dismay over a lack of communication from his family. According to lip-reading experts, the Duke said: 'I've spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either.' He then asked: 'Why hasn't anybody contacted me?'
The exchange was captured on camera and analysed in the Channel 5 programme 'Lip-Reading The Royals: The Secret Conversations'. It highlights ongoing tensions between Harry and the Royal Family, despite his recent visit to the UK to meet with his father, King Charles, amid the monarch's cancer diagnosis.
Harry has publicly stated his desire for reconciliation, saying: 'There is no point in continuing to fight anymore, life is precious.' However, he acknowledged that 'some members of my family will never forgive me' for his memoir 'Spare'. The Duke also expressed concern about his father's health, remarking: 'I don't know how much longer my father has.'
Separately, the documentary revealed a private conversation between Harry and Meghan Markle during a 2018 Remembrance Service at Westminster Abbey. Lip reader Nicola Hickling interpreted Meghan telling Harry to 'take advantage of the situation', with Harry replying: 'You do realise that this is the end?' Meghan reportedly responded: 'Yeah, I do know.' Royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop suggested this could indicate the couple planned their departure from royal duties long before officially stepping back.
