Prince William, Duke of Cambridge had thousands of people vehemently applauding as he spoke about ‘service’ at the recent coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla,- and people were quick to point out the connection to a barb once made by his brother, Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle.
The Prince while speaking in reverence to his father, King Charles, the reigning mornach of England had sent out a defiant message during the King Charles’ Coronation Concert held on Sunday, May 7th – and seemingly threw shade at his brother, Prince Harry.
The 40 year old Prince rendered a heartfelt speech dedicated to his father and to the loyal workers of Britain, which had thousands of people jeering from their seats.
He claimed the late Queen Elizabeth would be a “proud mum” seeing her son being crowned King and in turn thanked his “Pa” for his long commitment to the crown.
Seemingly shady, he also appeared to make reference to a barb thrown out by his brother and his wife, the Sussexes, who once said in an open response to the crown upon their retirement from their royal duties: “We can all live a life of service. Service is universal.”
During his speech, Prince William said:
“For all that celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message – service.”
The media didn’t hesitate in instantly perceiving the royals subtle jab at his brother who turned down his royal duties sometime in 2015. Netizens felt the speech was in reference to the younger Prince who “ran away” from service.
A brood of people took to Twitter after watching Prince William’s speech and hearing his words – firmly believing it was an intentional dig at Prince Harry and Meghan.
One viewer said: “Service Harry. Do you hear that? Not a free ride.”
“SERVICE. Something Harry doesn’t understand,” added another.
“’Service….’ ‘To serve…..’ ‘served…..’ Wonder who that was a dig at….. “
It was worthy to note that during the coronation event there were no direct interactions between Harry and William, both who are reportedly not in good terms. The organisers made sure they did not confront one another.
Prince Harry was seated in the third row so he was nowhere near the Prince and Princess of Wales.
