Princess Kate told Harry, Meghan & William to ‘stop arguing’ at the 2022 walkabout

Recently, a “lip-reader” claimed to know what Prince William and Prince Andrew said to each other at the Duchess of Kent’s funeral last year. “Lip-reader” Nicola Hickling swore that Andrew pleaded for forgiveness and that William bitched him out. Anyone who actually watched the video of their interaction knows that version is quite unlikely. Well, this woman Nicola Hickling is at it again. I have no idea what she’s being paid but it’s kind of funny that she’s screwing this up so badly. They asked her to lip-read the conversation between Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince William and Kate in 2022, just after Queen Elizabeth II’s death. William called Harry and asked him to do this walkabout outside of Windsor Castle. Harry made sure that Meghan was included, and the vibes were absolutely terrible. Well, this is what Hickling claims they said to each other just after they exited the car:

Princes William and Harry had a bust-up moments before their Windsor walkabout two days after the Queen’s death, a professional lip reader has claimed. Nicola Hickling said they were still bickering when Kate told them: “Stop arguing.”

She said a clip of the 2022 meet-and-greet with mourning members of the public showed William turning to Kate and saying: “Let’s move”.

Shortly after, Harry touched William on the shoulder.

Ms Hickling said Wills told his brother: “Why are we together? This is not the end.”

She added: “Meghan chimes in ‘Not today’.

“She can obviously feel a tension.”

Ms Hickling told documentary Lip-Reading The Royals, on Channel 5 last night, that Harry went on: “Not now please. I didn’t foresee this.”

It is then that Kate said: “Stop arguing.”

“Why are we together? This is not the end.” What?? Keep in mind, Kate later claimed that this was the hardest thing she ever had to do (walk alongside her Black sister-in-law). Also keep in mind, at one point after the walkabout with mourners, Kate suddenly advanced on Meghan in an unsettling and even threatening way. As I said, the vibes were terrible. Anyway, I doubt this is what was said after they exited the car, but I have no doubt that William and Harry were sniping at each other IN the car.

    Is the video of Keen taking a threatening step towards Meghan going to be erased from the Internet. Keen is causing the trouble and is no peacemaker.

    • Neeve says:

      Maybe from official outlest but the Internet is forever. The one where William tells Kate to ‘stand up straight’ at their first baby photocall has been scrubbed,however that was from official and approved repoters,they probably even own the footage.But too many people saw this around the world with a million camera phones won’t be so easy.

      • Jais says:

        He told her to stand up strait when? Lordy. He could take that advice himself. That was before my royal gossip time began.

    • Starry Owl says:

      I don’t believe that Harry would have sniped at William in the car.

      Not because he’s not capable of it, not because it wasn’t warranted.

      But because I’ve been in similar situations and when your spouse is stressed or anxious about engaging with your family- you work extra hard to keep things on an even keel.

      Harry has shown himself to be a thoughtful, caring and sensitive partner. I’m sure he was more concerned with Meghan’s feelings and emotional health than with whatever nonsense William and Kate were banging on about.

  2. Look actions speak louder than words and in no way shape or form was Can’t trying to be peacemaker!!! She certainly did go after Meg with a more than menacing look on her face!! This re-writing of history is a steaming pile of shit!!!

    Where is Judy James when you need her?

    • Angeleyes says:

      Judi James ALWAYS takes the royals side and has written many pieces slagging off Harry & Meghan. She’s vile.

  4. Jjp says:

    Kate was walking like a goon that day.

    • Neeve says:

      Wasn’t she just,what was up with that stance and walking like she had a log between her thighs!?

    • Hypocrisy says:

      I remember that it definitely was not her normal walk.. but she looked like she also was going to punch Meghan that day so maybe it was her rage walk. I remember wanting to come through the tv to protect Meghan from her the entire time I was watching that walk-about.. Kate had a very angry combative energy that day and Meghan looked terrified.

    These MOFOS ARE INSANE!😡

  6. Me at home says:

    Looks like KP’s new crisis manager has been busy furiously rewriting history and commissioning hate pieces about Meghan this week. You’d think Bulletproof Sunshine, with her great rep, could have stayed classy while coming up with a brand new playbook.

  7. Jferber says:

    Kate looked like a deranged hitman. Body language can be read too.

  8. Dee(2) says:

    This is pointless. I said this last week but boredom is sinking in for a lot of people with the constant rehashing. You can listen to the hysterical stories about why there’s a new twist on why Harry and Meghan were terrible people for something that happened 7 years ago, or you can watch Harry and Meghan live their lives, start businesses, do humanitarian trips, hang out with their friends, go to concerts, go to sporting events, donate money, and never mention the royal family.

    A royal family that is currently embroiled in a widespread, worldwide, elite involving controversy. These distractions are obvious and not working.These books and these articles are at the point now where they are constantly in a state of lather about interviews from 5 years ago books from 3 years ago, a docu series in 3 years ago, things that may have happened when they were working royals 7 or 8 years ago, or when Harry first met Meghan almost a decade ago.

  9. Jais says:

    Fascinating that they picked up the video here and didn’t start from the beginning when they got out of the car. When Kate got out and blanked Meghan, walking away so fast she left her in the dust. Her body language was sooo mean girl nasty towards Meghan that day that you don’t even need lip readers. But sure focus on this edited part of the video when apparently Kate is trying to calm the brothers down. I call bullsh-t. Revisionist propaganda. We all have eyes.

    • Christine says:

      Word, Jais. This is such fiction, and there’s video of every second of this walkabout. Harry, Meghan, and William (shockingly) are the only ones acting like adults. Kate’s behavior was aggressive from the second they got out of the car. No way she was trying to get anyone to stop arguing, because the other three were being professional. Saint Kate was acting like a lunatic.

      Carole has been a busy little bee lately.

      • Jais says:

        Pretty soon they’re gonna be explaining why Kate was rude in church, while wearing a dumb little hat.

  10. Lizzie Bennett says:

    This assessment is ridiculous! For once I believe William was actually behaving appropriately. I remember him gesturing to Meghan to include her when he and Harry were talking to someone. If anyone snapped at or corrected anyone I think it was William checking Kate.

    • Starry Owl says:

      I remember being distinctly surprised that William was able to shelf his incandescent rage.

      William interacted with Meghan and Harry in a relatively comfortable and easy way. Kate? Absolutely not.

      The William from that walk about seems light years away from the William we are subjected to now.

      William never seems remotely comfortable or authentic in his own skin now – even when doing the most basic of tasks. Neither does Kate.

      What on earth has happened in the past few years to those angry two? They are both imploding in front of the world. Any charm, ease, comfort or confidence William and Kate had seems to have inverted itself into the negative. It’s blatant and undeniable.

      Their self guided nose dive is very confusing

    • Becks1 says:

      Yes, I had a similar reaction. Harry and William seemed surprisingly fine together. There was a tension but it wasn’t anywhere near what we saw at Phillip’s funeral. I’m sure they both made a decision (separately) to shelve their issues for 20 minutes and to do this for their grandmother. It probably also reminded them both of greeting the crowds at their mother’s death which I’m sure impacted them.

      Meghan looked nervous, which makes sense bc she didn’t know what kind of reaction she would get from the crowd, and Kate looked……on edge. If there was tension, she was the cause of it.

      These lipreading comments dont even make sense. “why are we together, this is not the end” – what on earth does that even mean?

      on a shallow note, Kate’s hair looked really good that day. It was shortly after this she started going all out with the long extensions and wiglets and wigs. She’s always worn “something” but this was right before she started leaning into those super long ringlets.

  11. Shiela Kerr says:

    That new communication person’s strategy appears to be to flood timelines with Harry and Meghan nonsense from years ago. This is not sustainable. This strategy is like putting a bandage over a gun shot wound. We have all witnessed this rodeo before. The Windsor’s will have to own up to their complicity with the Andrew accusations sooner rather than later.

    • Jais says:

      I think they’re also aware of the past online discourse. This moment was talked about extensively on SM when it happened and it looked bad for Kate. So they are trying to rewrite that moment. William actually came across as more professional that day while Kate did not. She came across as a bullying mean girl with aggression issues. So yeah they’re trying to rewrite that moment. At the same time, they’re currently commissioning glowing pieces on Carole.

  12. Me at home says:

    Sounds like Kate was talking to Harry and Meghan, who had both just said things, and basically telling them to shut up. Doubt she was addressing Willy at all.

  13. Digital Unicorn says:

    From what I remember of the walk about it was Catty who was being aggressive esp when they got out of the car – she couldn’t wait to get as far from the Sussex’s as possible. William and Harry made an effort to be civil to each other, at least in public.

  14. minnow29 says:

    She looks weirdly giddy in some of these photos.

  15. QuiteContrary says:

    If anything, Kate has revved William up. She’s an instigator, not a peacemaker.

  16. Amy Bee says:

    This woman is worse than Judi James. If walking next Meghan and Harry was the hardest thing Kate had to do in her life, I’d like to think she wouldn’t even be able to talk to them. I never understood why they made Harry and Meghan travel in the same car, especially as William didn’t even let Harry fly up with him and the rest of the family to Balmoral.

    • Starry Owl says:

      I think it was a PR move of solidarity and also made sure that neither couple showed up before or after the other. Which could have lead to shifted crowd focus and also a much weirder dynamic as the distance between the two couples would have been more apparent in the way that they were unable to integrate into a unit.

  17. line says:

    Once again, it’s the Middletons calling on the press to tell a revised version of the event, because I remember the discussions that day. Each couple was supposed to appear separately: the Cambridges first, then the Sussexes. However, there was a call from Harry to William, and they managed to agree on a joint appearance. As usual, William didn’t bother informing Kate, because when she got out of the car and saw Harry and Meghan, she couldn’t contain her anger and literally walked slightly apart from the group. In the same way, there is a video of them at a church (I don’t remember which event it was), where she blocks Harry’s path, and William has to call her to order to let Harry and Meghan pass so they can move forward. So she is a woman without class who does not know how to behave in public.

  18. CSC says:

    What I remember seeing was after they all got out of the car – Kate was giving Megan a very menacing stare or glare. I found it to be prolonged to the point where Megan had to look away. There was no verbal communication at that point. Someone is trying to rewrite what actually happened.

  19. Brassy Rebel says:

    All I remember from that horrendous walkabout is how traumatized Meghan looked. I knew then she was done with all this and wouldn’t be coming back.

  20. Bullshit. Kate is not a unifier or a peacemaker. She is in this for herself and will do anything to make herself look good, except for actual work. I’m going to say this again the press and the palace are working together to smear Harry and Meghan, but Meghan specifically — because this new revelation, the Carol as a royal bullshit, now I see a fluff piece about Will riding a tandem bike with a comedian for charity is all a way to make these racists look good.

    They have no shame and I hope that the left behinds downfall is hard and loud for them.

  21. Louise123 says:

    This is about the 10th version of what was said. Along with about 10 other events the British media keeps looking back at. Who cares at this point.

  22. Inge says:

    Kate looking smiley and ecstatic in some of the pics here, I also saw several of Charles, Wiliam Camilla and Sophie looking delighted that week so odd when they were supposed to be in mourning.

  23. Tired says:

    Here we go again with “Kate the great” “Kate the peacemaker” “Kate the future queen who never does wrong”

  24. Felicity Fox says:

    Does anyone have a link to video that shows them getting out of the car with Kate lunging? I’ve never seen it and it’s referred to quite a bit.

    • Becks1 says:

      it’s when they’re getting in the car at the end. You can almost see it here – in the picture where William is waving near the back of the car, you can see how Kate is standing sort of aggressively looking at Meghan – that was either right before or right after it. I’m at work so can’t dig it up but hopefully someone else can.

      If you’re expecting a full on lunge you may be disappointed, but she definitely takes a threatening step and Meghan seems to shrink in on herself.

      Kind of weird how William can hold it together in public around H&M and Kate cannot. especially around Meghan.
