During the 2020 Commonwealth Day Service—Harry and Meghan’s final royal event—a lip reader claims Prince William and Kate Middleton exchanged whispers about the Sussexes.
Harry reportedly told Meghan, “At least they acknowledged, unlike last time,” after a brief greeting. William allegedly said to Kate, “That was executed well… things’ll change, won’t it?”
The couples didn’t join the royal procession, reportedly at the Queen’s request, which left Harry and Meghan feeling emotional. Body language experts also noted the interaction seemed cold, with Kate described as “expressionless.”
The event marked the end of Harry and Meghan’s roles as senior royals. They moved to the U.S. shortly after and launched various media ventures.
