Prince Harry's 'brutal' question he whispered in Eugenie's ear at key event without Meghan
Prince Harry has openly expressed his hopes to rekindle his strained relationship with King Charles and his elder brother. However a whisper to a one royal ally may be a problem for the Duke.
It comes as A secret peace summit between senior aides representing both Charles and his estranged son made headlines last week as the pair seemingly inched closer to reconciliation.
The gathering occurred shortly after a BBC interview that sent shockwaves through the monarchy, in which the Duke of Sussex claimed his father "won't speak to him" amid a bitter legal dispute over his security arrangements in the UK.
Reflecting on the rift within his family, which has been ongoing for years now, Harry remarked: "There is no point in continuing to fight anymore, life is precious."
In an unexpected twist, the Duke also mentioned "I don't know how much longer my father has," referencing to Charles cancer diagnosis, as detailed in the Mirror.
Harry acknowledged that "some members of my family will never forgive me" following the publication of his tell-all memoir Spare, but he also noted: "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them."
Despite Harry claiming he is "ready to forgive," his resentment was reportedly evident during his father's coronation, as a lip-reading expert revealed a distressing conversation between Harry and his cousin, Princess Eugenie, who is a close ally within the royal circle.
A new programme airing on Channel 5, Lip-Reading The Royals: The Secret Conversations, has unravelled countless royal exchanges at significant occasions, with the ex-royal facing scrutiny.
Harry appeared isolated on the Westminster Abbey steps during his father's Coronation in 2023, having travelled back to the UK without wife Meghan and their children. Whilst his family members gathered together following the ceremony, the friction was still evident.
The Duke subsequently approached Eugenie, among the handful of royals with who he maintains a bond with, and reportedly grumbled: "I've spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either", according to lip-reading analysis.
Those who failed to message Harry remains unclear, whether referring to Charles and Camilla, or William and Kate, although Harry appears not to have communicated with his elder brother in years.
The lip reader suggests he then questioned "Why hasn't anybody contacted me?" with Eugenie offering a sympathetic yet guarded smile in response.
This new revelation emerges among another conversation between Harry and Meghan, which is featured in the upcoming TV programme. The discussion took place between the Sussexes during a Service of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey in 2018, just six months following their wedding.
The pair were accompanied by the complete royal household, including the late Queen Elizabeth, to pay tribute to fallen military personnel and commemorate the Centenary of the Armistice.
The documentary delved into a moment where Harry and Meghan engaged in a deep conversation, with Meghan posing a significant question to Harry.
Lip reading expert Nicola Hickling interpreted their exchange for the show, claiming Meghan urged Harry to "take advantage of the situation", before she glanced around at the gathering of royals.
According to the expert, Harry's reaction to Meghan's suggestion was to ask: "Today?", to which Meghan replied: "Do it tonight." Following this, Harry is said to have questioned Meghan further, saying: "You do realise that this is the end?" which Meghan acknowledged with: "Yeah, I do know".
Royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop then proposed that these remarks between the Sussexes could indicate that they had been considering their departure from their royal duties and cutting ties with the firm long before they officially stepped down.

The most 'absurd' show on the BBC just dropped 6 new episodes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Comedian Diane Morgan's widely praised BBC series Mandy has finally returned for another batch of chaos. The Philomena Cunk star, 49, has written, directs and stars in the sitcom where she plays the titular heroine – the 'hapless, jobless Mandy'. '[Her] daft adventures mostly end in disaster. She's got Big Dreams, but can she actually be bothered?' the show aptly describes itself. The theme tune? Barry Manilow's Mandy of course! Each season contains six bite-sized episodes making it the perfect one-week binge in which we see Mandy get up to genuinely bonkers hijinks with Morgan's quintessential flavour of character acting. Seriously, one episode opens with her stark naked on a table, save for some sushi adorned around her body, followed by a host of businessmen digging into their dinner. In another, she is entirely convinced she has eaten an old man's dog. Essentially, it's the kind of show that needs to be seen to be believed. The show also boasts a wild list of guest stars including Maxine Peake, Natalie Cassidy and Shaun Ryder to name a few, if you can believe it. Over the years it has made a mighty impression on viewers. 'Absolutely loved this show, so silly! Watched it with my mum and we still quote it haha,' Mat W wrote on Rotten Tomatoes. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid, predictable, cliche and utterly childish. Loving every minute of it,' one anonymous user quipped, saying one episode left them 'crying with laughter'. 'Diane Morgan is a comic genius: writer, director, comedienne, actress,' another anonymous user praised in a five-star review. 'The Quirkiness of Mandy is its best feauture. And its running time of 15 minutes works really well. Diane Morgans performance in Mandy is unique and different,' another echoed. 'Full of absurd and subversive humour,' Piotr W agreed. Critics are in agreement. 'It's bold and ludicrous, but economical too. It don't mean a thing. It is, however, a glorious release from all those things that do mean a thing,' The Time shared. 'This was enjoyably escapist comedy, daft for the sake of daftness, and all the more welcome for it,' the Daily Telegraph echoed. Although the humour may not always land with The Guardian warning it is 'not as tight or laugh out loud funny' and The Independent agreeing it's provokes wry smiles rather than belly laughs.' An official synopsis for the fourth season reads teases that she'll continue 'to live hand-to-wonky-mouth, cooking up enough dodgy side hustles and trashy cash hacks to hopefully climb up into the squeezed middle and out of the squashed bottom.' It adds: 'Constantly harassed, pursued and persecuted by her benefits officer (Tom Basden), Mandy finds solace in her friend Lola's (Michelle Greenidge) salon, drinking in the heady aroma of cheap bleach and Minty Pig nail polish.' More Trending Discussing how she settled on the tone of the show which is apparently based on a woman she met once, she once told The Guardian: 'Most people nowadays are doing downbeat, naturalistic comedy. I wanted to do something mad and silly. I crave silliness. 'A bit of pure escapism. It's turned out much weirder than I imagined. It's quite visual, like a Viz cartoon, but I'm happy with it.' Mandy is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. View More » This article was first published on July 15, 2025. Got a story?

Neighbours legend's new role with major UK TV star after 31 years as Susan
The prospect of not having Neighbours legend and acting powerhouse Jackie Woodburne on our screens isn't worth thinking about – and thankfully we don't have to as the Susan Kennedy star has landed a new role. In just over a week since Neighbours wrapped production for the second time, Jackie – who has portrayed Ramsay Street royalty Susan for 31 years – has already lined up a new part. The soap titan has joined the cast of Imposter, a new four-part drama set in Australia that will see a family at war over a hotel when mum Helen refuses to sell up, despite her children demanding that she does so. The soapy plot twists and turns follow, with Helen having had a secret daughter named Amanda, who she gave up for adoption decades earlier. When Amanda unexpectedly shows up, Helen is delighted – but this is the just the beginning of what's set to unfold. Consider us intrigued and excited already. Jackie will be starring opposite Coronation Street and Waterloo Road star Kym Marsh, who will play a key role in the Channel 5 drama. Neighbours, which was axed by Channel 5 in 2022, returned to screens in 2013 when Amazon's ad-supported free service Freevee swooped in to rescue it. The daily escapades of Erinsborough residents thrilled fans for another two years before the decision was made by Amazon (in the wake of Freevee's closure) not to renew Neighbours for another season. More Trending Production wrapped on the long-running Aussie soap – a staple of daytime TV in the UK for 40 years – earlier this month, with the final episode slated to drop in December. Discussing her time on the serial, Jackie said: 'It's impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours. 'To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of.

John Torode and Gregg Wallace 'off with each other'
Wallace and Torode were sacked as presenters of the cookery show this week after a seven-month investigation upheld allegations made against the pair. In total, there were 45 against Wallace and one against Torode. More than half of the 83 allegations levied against Wallace were substantiated. The report also upheld an accusation of 'offensive racist language' allegedly used by Torode. The fallout over MasterChef continues with reports that John Torode plans to sue the BBC after he was fired and is determined to clear his name following the allegation that he used an 'extremely offensive racist term' in 2018. Broadcaster Aasmah Mir appeared on Celebrity… The TV chef has said he had 'no recollection' of the incident. Torode said he was 'shocked and saddened' by the racist slur claim, adding that he knows any racial language 'is wholly unacceptable in any environment'. In the wake of the findings, the spotlight has been placed on Wallace and Torode's working relationship, with a source telling BBC News: 'Clearly they had a good chemistry when the cameras were rolling. But you rarely saw them interact when the cameras were off.' Another anonymous person who worked on the show claimed their dynamic 'seemed off', adding that Torode would roll his eyes when Wallace made alleged inappropriate comments. Recommended reading: The relationship between Torode and Wallace, who both presented the revamped cooking programme since 2005, has always been a point of confusion among viewers. Despite being Wallace's best man in 2016, Torode later claimed he had never been friends with his co-host, telling The Mirror in 2017: 'We've not been to each other's houses. "If we go away to somewhere like South Africa, we do things separately. If we do go out for a drink, I'll invariably be at one end of a big old table and he'll be at the other.'
