King Charles was apparently caught in a candid moment with Queen Camilla, discussing Prince Harry during the Trooping the Colour today.
While the Royal pair were smiling widely and waving at onlookers in their carriage procession down The Mall, greeting the throngs of well-wishers, a lipreader suggests there was serious chat behind the scenes. A lipreading expert, Nicola from LipReader, working with Fruity King, has claimed that Charles was seen confiding in Camilla about his youngest son, Prince Harry, with whom relations are believed to be strained.
This private exchange comes shortly after Harry’s tell-all BBC interview last month where he mentioned the King “won’t speak” to him.

According to Nicola, Charles advised Camilla to “wave and smile so that we can keep talking” as they acknowledged the crowd.
Camilla reportedly queried: “Yes. What else did he want?” to which Charles is said to have responded: “He keeps dragging it all up, there seems to be another issue, right now.”
The lipreader has suggested that this conversation was indeed about Harry.
Nicola further claims that when Camilla asked “what are you going to do about it?”, Charles replied: “We will tackle it sooner or later, it’s all very messy and I will talk to Harry. That’ll be fun” To which Camilla is reported to have dryly remarked: “Oh yes, problematic.”, reports the Express.
Lip reading expert Jeremy Freeman also provided an intriguing interpretation of Charles’ words. The King is said to have begun with: “Absolutely crazy, disgrace, absolutely extraordinary.”
While Jeremy couldn’t decipher the entire conversation, he did catch the King saying “on my way out”, followed by: “Meanwhile, not like me. That’s the difference between me and him.”
In May, Harry opened up about his strained relationship with his father.

The paid have endured a rocky relationship following several accusations he and Meghan Markle made towards the Royal Family when they stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US in early 2020. In this new interview, the prince said his father “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”.
During the BBC interview, Harry opened up about the situation between him and the royal family. The Duke of Sussex has told the BBC he “would love a reconciliation” with his family, he also said he was “devastated” at losing a legal challenge over his security in the UK.
He also said during the interview that he did not want to fight anymore and did not know how long King Charles had left to live. After losing the appeal, Prince Harry said: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
Despite the undercurrents of family drama, King Charles and Camilla appeared to thoroughly enjoy the festivities of the day, which celebrates the monarch’s official birthday annually.
They were accompanied by several senior royals today, including Prince William and Princess Kate, along with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Other royals at the event included Princess Anne, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward. The event wrapped up this afternoon with a spectacular flypast.
