Prince William, Prince Harry’s Lip Reading Reveals Tense Relationship, Expert Says

Prince William and Prince Harry are still not okay.

On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the rest of the members of the royal family during the Commonwealth service. It was the first time Prince Harry and Markle made an appearance with the members of the Firm after announcing that they were stepping down as senior members of the royal family.

However, Prince William allegedly snubbed his brother. According to royal expert Camilla Tominey, on ITV’s “This Morning,” based on their lip reading, the future king only made a short acknowledgment to his brother.

“When Harry sit down he says to Meghan, ‘he just said Hello Harry to me and that was it’ and Meghan smiles. We don’t know whether he was referring to William or dignitaries he had just been getting, including Boris Johnson,” Tominey said.

Tominey implied that Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s sons are still not okay because there was a lack of “brotherly” interaction when they were in the abbey.

“In the actual abbey there wasn’t much brotherly-ness going on because they didn’t really have much of a conversation going on. It was quite obvious when you were looking.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton were accused of snubbing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle because the future king and queen barely acknowledged the latter when they arrived on their seats. However, according to royal correspondent Rebecca English, the Cambridges attempted to defuse the tension after the Queen dropped Prince Harry and Markle from the main VIP party.

The Sussexes were reportedly told make their own way to their seats and wait alongside Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. Prince William and Middleton were set to join the Queen’s entrance but opted to wait on their seats to join the Sussexes.

Meanwhile, Prince William reportedly commented on handshaking to his wife, Middleton. The lip reader noted that the duke found the gesture weird.

“When William sat down, he turned to Kate and said, ‘This whole handshaking thing is weird. We’re going to have to put a load of hand gel on after this’,” Tominey said of the second in line to the throne.

The expert believed that the Duke of Cambridge’s comment was due to the “ban” on greeting people due to the coronavirus outbreak. Earlier, Prince William made a coronavirus-related joke.

"By the way, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spreading coronavirus,” Prince William teased. “Sorry ... We're keeping an eye on that, so do tell us if we need to stop."
