Meghan Markle made her final appearance as a senior royal in March 2020 when she and Prince Harry attended the Commonwealth Service alongside other royal family members. 

After announcing their decision to step down as working members of the House of Windsor, the couple remained in the spotlight while fulfilling their final official engagement. 

During their tense final outing, a lip reader captured Prince Harry delivering a sharp seven-word message to Meghan — an unforgettable mic drop moment that marked the end of a royal chapter.

Meghan and Harry’s awkward interaction with Kate Middleton and Prince William

During a 2020 Commonwealth event held at Westminister Abbey, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat together while Prince William and Kate Middleton took their seats in front of them. 

After greeting Prince Edward and Sophie the Duchess of Edinburgh, William and Kate acknowledged Meghan and Harry.

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman told The Daily Star that shortly thereafter, Harry turned to Meghan and said seven sharp words that revealed how deep the division had become between the couples. “At least they acknowledged, unlike last time,” Harry stated.

At the same time, William had a message for Kate. The lip reader claims he told her, “That was executed well.”

Inside the royal rift: Why William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan remain estranged

The once-close bond between Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle was shattered by years of tension. The rift, which reportedly began before Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding, deepened after the Sussexes stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and relocated to California.

Accusations of mistreatment, differing views on royal duty, and bombshell interviews, including Harry and Meghan’s explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, only widened the divide. Harry’s memoir, Spare, further intensified the feud, detailing private family conflicts and casting William in a particularly harsh light.

Despite brief moments of public unity, such as their joint appearance after Queen Elizabeth II’s death, insiders claim the couples remain distant. Kate and William have reportedly made little effort to mend ties, while Harry and Meghan have continued speaking out about their royal struggles. Will they ever find common ground again?

What’s next for Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate?

As time passes, reconciliation between Kate, William, Harry, and Meghan remains uncertain. With Prince William and Kate focused on their royal duties and preparing for their future roles as king and queen, their priority is strengthening the monarchy rather than repairing strained family ties.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have firmly established an independent life in California, pursuing media ventures and philanthropy on their terms. Their ongoing revelations about royal life have only added to the tension. However, the royal family has weathered many fractures before. The door to the brothers’ reconciliation may never be fully closed.

Harry has returned to the United Kingdom to celebrate his father’s coronation in May 2023 and to visit the monarch after a cancer diagnosis in February 2024. However, he has reportedly not met with his older brother and Meghan hasn’t visited the royals since Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022.
