A forensic lip reader has claimed that Meghan Markle told Prince Harry to “take advantage of the situation” during a solemn royal event attended by Prince William and Princess Catherine.
Whispered Words at Westminster Abbey
The alleged exchange took place during the centenary of Armistice Day service at Westminster Abbey on November 11, 2018, just months after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling, who analyzed footage for the Channel 5 program Lip Reading the Royals, claimed Meghan “leans into Harry” and appears to whisper, “take advantage of the situation.”
According to Hickling, Meghan then glanced around the room before turning back to Harry, who seemed to respond, “Today? Sweet.”
“I’ve never heard anyone say ‘sweet’ at the end of a conversation,” Hickling noted. “But from what I can lip-read, I can’t think of any other word that he would have said.”

“Do It Tonight” — Meghan’s Direction to Harry
Hickling went on to suggest that Meghan appeared to take charge of the conversation. “She says to him, ‘do it tonight,’ and she looks away, almost as if she’s imagining something unfolding, processing what she just said,” the expert explained.
The lip reader claimed Harry then replied, “You do realise that this is the end?” to which Meghan allegedly responded, “Yes, I know.”
