He followed up with: “It’s quite good to connect instead of holding things back like always.
“I know it’s bad, I ought to have words with him. He’ll shout and God knows what but things’ll change, won’t it?”
Just a month after this encounter, Harry stepped away from royal duties and began a new life in the United States.
Royal expert Robert Lacey, in Battle of the Brothers, claimed that this particular service had left Harry and Meghan sidelined.
They were reportedly informed that they wouldn’t be part of The Queen’s Procession, even though they had participated the year before.
Instead, only Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles (now King), Camilla, William, and Catherine were involved — a detail that was printed clearly in the Order of Service for all attendees to see.
Lacey wrote that as “junior” royals, Harry and Meghan had to quietly make their way to their seats like regular guests, sitting off to the side with fellow “juniors” Edward and Sophie Wessex.
According to reports, Harry was “holding back tears” and felt “furious” about being pushed to the sidelines during what was his final royal appearance.
That’s when William and Catherine reportedly made a heartfelt gesture by choosing to join the emotional couple as they waited for the Queen’s arrival.
“It was a small but sensitive gesture of peace,” Lacey noted.
He added that both couples entered their seats just minutes apart and sat with the rest of the guests, awaiting the Queen and Prince Charles, who walked down the aisle with all the formality due to senior royals.
