A newly aired documentary has uncovered a telling moment between Prince Harry and his cousin, Princess Eugenie, during King Charles III’s 2023 coronation—shedding light on the lingering rift between the Duke of Sussex and the royal family.

The event highlighted Harry’s isolation as he attended solo, without Meghan Markle or their children, while the rest of the royals stood united.

The Channel 5 documentary Lip-Reading the Royals: The Secret Conversations analyzed subtle exchanges, decoding a private comment Harry made to Eugenie that suggests tensions behind palace doors remain unresolved.

Professional lip readers Nicola Hickling and her team have decoded a telling exchange between Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie during King Charles III’s coronation—capturing a moment of visible frustration from the Duke of Sussex.

As royals filed out of Westminster Abbey, analysts noted Harry appeared “visibly frustrated” before confiding in his cousin. According to Hickling, Harry muttered: “I’ve spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either.”

The documentary Lip-Reading the Royals: The Secret Conversations highlighted Harry’s disillusionment, with experts observing: “He looks so disappointed… with why no communication was sent to him.” The remark is believed to reference King Charles and Prince William—suggesting strained relations persist behind the scenes.

Lip-reading experts have revealed Prince Harry’s emotional outburst to Princess Eugenie during his father’s coronation, laying bare the ongoing tensions within the royal family.

As the ceremony concluded, a visibly frustrated Harry was overheard complaining: “I’ve spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either.” The Duke of Sussex later added, “Why hasn’t anybody contacted me? I was here, I was just sitting there.”

Eugenie, one of the few royals who still maintains contact with Harry and Meghan, responded with a cautious smile – a telling reaction that speaks volumes about the family divide.

A Fractured Family
The revelation comes despite Harry’s recent public appeals for reconciliation. In a BBC interview earlier this year, the estranged prince struck a conciliatory yet resigned tone:

“There’s no point continuing to fight anymore. Life

is precious,” Harry said, adding that while he had forgiven his family, “Some members of my family will never forgive me [for Spare]. It would be nice to have that reconciliation now. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”

A bombshell Channel 5 documentary has uncovered startling private conversations between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—including a telling exchange that may reveal they planned their royal exit much earlier than previously believed.

The 2018 Westminster Abbey Moment
Just six months after their fairytale wedding, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling decoded this intense exchange at the Remembrance Service:

Meghan: “Take advantage of the situation.”
Harry: “Today?”
Meghan: “Do it tonight.”
Harry: “You do realize that this is the end?”
Meghan: “Yeah, I do know.”

Royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop suggests this could be the smoking gun: “This suggests the Sussexes may have been considering their exit far earlier than many realized—potentially just months into their marriage.”

A Family Divided
The revelations come amid reports of secret meetings between Harry and Charles’ aides, sparking reunion rumors. Yet these decoded conversations paint a different picture:

• Harry’s 2023 coronation frustration (“Why hasn’t anybody contacted me?”)

• The 2018 exchange showing early exit plans

• Meghan’s strategic thinking even during official duties

The Million-Dollar Question
While Harry claims readiness to reconcile (“There’s no point continuing to fight”), these uncovered moments suggest deeper, older fractures. With Harry and Meghan apparently strategizing their exit early on—and Harry still feeling ignored years later—is royal reconciliation truly possible?

The documentary delivers an undeniable truth: The Sussexes’ royal journey was far more calculated, and far more painful, than the public ever knew.
