Prince Harry recalled a moment when Meghan Markle cracked an awkward joke during an important royal event — but it seems Kate Middleton didn’t find it amusing.

It’s no secret that the bond once shared by the so-called “Fab Four” has become tense over the years.

Since Meghan and Harry stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, and with the release of documentaries, interviews, and Harry’s book, tensions within the family have only grown.

Meghan has openly admitted that she knew very little about royal traditions and expectations before joining the family as the Duchess of Sussex.

So, during major events like Trooping the Colour, it’s understandable that her nerves may have led her to make light-hearted remarks — even if they didn’t land well with everyone.

In his 2023 memoir Spare, Prince Harry shared an awkward moment between Meghan and Kate during Meghan’s first Trooping the Colour appearance in 2018, which took place just after the couple’s honeymoon.

Harry recalled that Kate asked Meghan how she found the event, and Meghan jokingly replied, “Colourful.” However, the joke didn’t land well.

Prince Harry described the moment as being followed by “a yawning silence that threatened to swallow us all whole.”
