Harry's efforts to rebuild bridges with the royal family may have hit a fresh snag following a newly revealed conversation with Princess Eugenie that sheds light on his ongoing pain and isolation.
In Channel 5's upcoming special Lip-Reading the Royals: The Secret Conversations, expert analysis has decoded emotional exchanges during key royal events—including Harry's solo appearance at King Charles' 2023 Coronation.
The Duke of Sussex, who attended without Meghan or their children, was captured sharing a quiet but telling moment with his cousin Eugenie. According to the program’s expert, Harry confided: “I’ve spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either.” He then added, “Why hasn't anyone reached out to me?”—to which Eugenie reportedly responded with a subtle, sympathetic smile.
The remark appears to reflect the depth of Harry's ongoing struggles with his father and brother, despite recent behind-the-scenes efforts at reconciliation, including a reported meeting between representatives of King Charles and the Sussexes.
Harry has previously expressed his openness to forgiveness, although his frustration over the lack of communication—particularly in the wake of a legal dispute over his UK security—has been a recurring theme.
The program also hints at other emotionally charged moments between Harry and Meghan, suggesting the emotional toll of the royal rift continues to weigh heavily on the couple.
While Princess Eugenie remains one of Harry's few trusted royal allies, her words may complicate the already delicate efforts to heal the family divided.
