EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE DID NOT WATCH KING CHARLES’ SPEECH — AND THEY’RE NO LONGER PRETENDING OTHERWISE
Hello, hello, hello…
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not watch King Charles’s speech live — and insiders say they did not watch it later either.
No livestream in Montecito. No replay behind closed doors. No private gesture of respect after the fact.
They did not tune in. At all.
“They didn’t watch it. Not live, not later, not at all,” one insider says. “Once upon a time, that would have been unthinkable. Now it makes the point for them.”
And that point was clear: the distance is no longer symbolic. It is real.
Harry and Meghan have also not spoken to King Charles while he is in the USA and, despite past efforts to repair the rupture, insiders say there are no plans for contact and no expectation of a meeting.
“There is no relationship right now,” one source says. “No calls. No messages. No outreach. No backchannel. It has gone completely cold.

According to insiders, whatever fragile progress had once been made collapsed after Harry and Meghan’s recent Australia trip, which reignited palace tensions and hardened positions on both sides.
“That trip was the final break,” a source tells us. “The palace saw it as confirmation they are fully out. Harry and Meghan saw it as proof they no longer need the institution.”
That is now the divide — and it is wider than ever.
Sources say Harry and Meghan no longer believe they need the King’s approval, the palace’s protection or the family’s blessing to move forward.
“They are done looking back,” one insider says. “They do not need Charles. They do not need the palace. They do not need permission. They’ve moved on.”
And insiders insist not watching the King was not an oversight. It was intentional.
“This was deliberate,” the source says. “Not watching was the message. The silence was the statement.”

And remember… if you’re going to be naughty, you’ve got to be nice. 💋
But they had to leak that they didn't watch (I.e. not silent). Lol, ok
It’s actually hilarious. I guess they think people care if they watched or not. And since they weren’t invited to any of the events, it’s their way of stomping their feet. In my opinion.
