Prince Harry and Prince William talked about the funeral, a lip reader says
Prince Harry and Prince William removed their face masks after they exited St. George's Chapel. During their walk back to nearby Windsor Castle, they chatted a bit, and lip readers believe that the brothers talked about the funeral proceedings. "Yes, it was great, wasn't it," the Duke of Cambridge told the Duke of Sussex, according to one lip reader who spoke with the Daily Express. "It was as he wanted it," Harry responded. Lip readers also believe that William said, "absolutely beautiful service, ah, the music," to his younger brother.
Regardless of what Harry and William may have talked about after Prince Philip's funeral, the important thing is that they were able to put their differences aside in those moments. "They were talking. They were possibly overcome by emotion. They were talking – and that's got to be a very good sign. Let's hope that they sort their recent troubles out because the queen needs them both," ITN commentator Eve Pollard said during a television broadcast, according to the Daily Express. Many are hopeful that more healthy conversations can happen before Harry heads back to the U.S.
