Prince William told his brother Prince Harry at their grandfather’s funeral that the service was “excellent”, to which his brother or sister replied that “it was the way he wanted it”, according to lip readers who analyzed the interaction .
The estranged brothers chatted kindly with the 99-year-old Prince Philip during the television funeral on Saturday and then spent a few hours with their father, Prince Charles, behind closed doors.
“Yes, it was wonderful, was it not,” the 38-year-old Duke of Cambridge apparently told his 36-year-old brother when they both removed their masks, lip readers told the British newspaper Daily Express.
“It was as he wished,” replied the Duke of Sussex.
Interpreters said that William later told Harry: ” Absolutely beautiful service, alas, the music. ‘
William personally asked not to walk his younger brother side by side, leading to the two being separated by their cousin Peter Philips, son of Princess Anne.
It was just one example of ‘a great deal of freezing’ that Harry encountered during his first home in the UK after the damning allegations Harry and his wife Meghan Markle made against his family during their TV story.
Queen Elizabeth II’s daughter, Anne, and the youngest son, Prince Edward (57), could not even acknowledge Harry before or during Saturday’s service, as Sophie’s wife, Sophie, claims.
“Funerals are often said to be a time for reconciliation and this is a scene that many people wanted to see, not the family itself,” the Express said. Tom Bradby, ITN.
“They talked. They may have been overcome by emotion. They talked – and that should be a very good sign. “Let’s hope they sort out their recent problems because the Queen needs them both,” said commentator Eve Pollard.
Harry is expected to drive home to his pregnant wife on Monday.
