Prince Harry has made several attempts to mend his strained relationship with King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family but a quiet remark to a trusted royal relative may complicate his hopes for reconciliation.
A secret peace meeting involving senior aides for both King Charles and Prince Harry sparked major discussion, suggesting that the father and son may be inching toward a resolution.
The development follows Harry’s headline making BBC interview earlier this year, in which he claimed his father had refused to speak to him, largely due to the ongoing legal dispute over his UK security arrangements.
Despite expressing a willingness to forgive, Harry’s frustration was evident at King Charles’ Coronation in 2023, according to a new lip-reading analysis featured in Channel 5’s upcoming special Lip-Reading the Royals: The Secret Conversations.
The program, which airs tonight, decodes previously unseen royal exchanges at key public events-and Prince Harry’s words haven’t gone unnoticed.
At the Coronation, he appeared isolated, attending without Meghan or their children, while the rest of the royal family gathered inside Westminster Abbey.
During a brief interaction with Princess Eugenie-one of the few royals Harry still maintains a close relationship with the Duke of Sussex was seen expressing his disappointment.
According to the expert lip reader, he said: ‘I’ve spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either.’ He reportedly followed up with: ‘Why has not anyone reached out to me?’ Eugenie responded with a gentle yet reserved smile.
The show also uncovers another exchange, this time between Harry and Meghan, further shedding light on the emotional rifts within the monarchy.
