The departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the British royal family was as ugly as possible.
And we all saw some glimpses through the circulating images, as Prince William and Kate Middleton barely paid attention to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the Commonwealth Day Service in March 2020.
While the tension was evident on Prince Harry’s face, particularly in Robert Lacey’s new book, Battle of brothers, provides some additional details on Sussex’s final royal engagement and what happened behind the scenes.
The author wrote that Harry and Meghan’s snub in the programming during the procession had been distributed to everyone in the building before they arrived.
And while Meghan channeled her old acting profession to put on her best smile, it was harder for Prince Harry to contain his inner feelings so they didn’t show up outside.
Lacey even revealed that Harry was “fighting back tears” at that exact moment.
“The only problem was that 2,000 service orders had already been distributed by the Abbey, explaining that William and Kate would come in and process with the main royal group, and they didn’t mention Harry and Meghan at all,” he wrote.
“So there was the black-and-white snub, laid out for all to see. Watchers also noted that Harry’s face was ‘quite tight and unsmiling’, and that when William sat near him, he barely greeted his brother, “he said more.
Throughout the service, Meghan wrestled with her best television smile but, as the ceremony progressed, Harry seemed to grow more somber. According to one observer, ‘his rapid blinking even suggested that he might have been fighting back tears,’ “he added.
