"Revealed by Lip Reader: Prince Harry’s Blunt Remark About William and Kate During Awkward Royal Exchange"

Tension Beneath the Surface: Harry and Meghan’s Final Royal Appearance Wasn’t As Perfect As It Seemed

The Commonwealth Day Service marked the final official appearance of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as working members of the Royal Family—and tensions were quietly on display.

Though the event, held five years ago, was presented with royal poise and formality, those closely watching the body language and subtle interactions saw signs of strain—particularly between Prince Harry and Prince William.

Following their announcement in January 2020 to step back from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined Queen Elizabeth II, then-Prince Charles, William, Kate, and other senior royals at Westminster Abbey just two months later.

In footage from the day, Meghan can be seen smiling and offering a friendly wave and greeting as William and Kate take their seats in the front row. But despite her polite gesture, many observers sensed an undeniable chill in the atmosphere—hinting that the family divide was deeper than appearances suggested. 

As Prince William and Kate Middleton settled into their seats during the royal service, a seemingly quiet moment between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caught the attention of eagle-eyed observers.

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman has now revealed what Harry whispered to his wife, decoding the brief exchange for the Daily Mail. According to Freeman, Harry’s words to Meghan were: “At least they acknowledged, unlike last time.”

This cryptic remark is thought to reference the ongoing tensions between Harry and his brother William. The implication of the comment suggests that, at least on this occasion, the couple received some acknowledgment from the Cambridges—something that was notably absent during previous interactions.
