King Charles’s Coronation concert on May 7, 2023, saw a variety of performers flock to the grounds of Windsor Castle, and the event included a heartfelt speech by Prince William.

The King’s eldest son had thousands of concert-goers applauding as he spoke about his father, but many people were quick to point out a connection between his words and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

At the historic royal event, William recognised his father’s decades of service and commitment to society. After honouring the late Queen Elizabeth II, he said: “For all that celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message: Service. My father’s first words on entering Westminster Abbey yesterday were a pledge of service. It was a pledge to continue to serve.”

After hearing William’s words, a number of people took to social media and believed it was a dig at Harry and Meghan who had quit royal duties in 2020 to live their lives in California.

One viewer said “Service Harry. Do you hear that? Not a free ride”, whereas another stated “SERVICE. Something Harry doesn’t understand.”

Buckingham Palace released a statement when the royal duo stepped back from Royal Family duties in early 2020, adding “It is not possible to continue with responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service”.
