In 1998, during a family visit to Canada, a youthful Prince Harry found himself the subject of playful ribbing from his father, Charles, and his brother, William, a lip reader has revealed. This moment of lighthearted teasing occurred nearly three decades before the much-publicized estrangement within the royal family.

Before the events surrounding ‘Megxit’ and the revelations in Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” tensions appeared to simmer beneath the surface, as suggested by Channel 5’s upcoming show, “Lip-Reading The Royals: What Are They Really Saying?”, set to air this Saturday at 8 p.m.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling examined a video clip from the family’s ski trip to Whistler, in which a 13-year-old Harry prioritized style over practicality by wearing a baseball cap in the snow.

During the ski lift photo op with his father and brother, Harry reportedly expressed his discomfort, saying, “I’m so cold.” In response, his father Charles quipped to William, then 15, “He has no sense. Of course it’s bloody cold. We’re in the snow.”

William, joining in the jest, allegedly replied, “Didn’t he bring a spare hat?” This exchange highlights a moment of familial banter, showing a different side to the royal dynamics long before any serious rifts emerged.

The Prince of Wales apparently replied: ‘Didn’t he bring a spare hat?’

‘He wanted to wear that cap. I told him he was mad and that it’s very cold. He doesn’t make it easy for himself,’ was Charles’ reply.

‘Let him crack on,’ William replied. ‘He will learn. He will probably get frostbite.’

Nicola concluded that the response from Charles was: ‘Perhaps’.

Charles and William teased a teenage Harry about wearing a baseball cap in the freezing cold temperatures at Whistler ski resort in Canada , a lip reader has claimed

The mini Royal tour of March 1998, came just seven months after the death of Princess Diana. 

Its main purpose of the trip was to give Charles, William and Harry some private time together in the Rocky Mountain ski resort of Whistler.

But before they could take to the slopes, the trio spent 24 hours in Vancouver – where William was at the time said to be unsettled by a ‘Willsmania’ pop-star welcome.

‘The royal family they are just human beings and this is the perfect example of it,’ said actress Nina Wadia.

‘I love the fact that his brother and his father are ripping into him. Of course style is more important than practicality, he’s a teenage boy!

‘Of course he’s going to wear a baseball cap on a ski lift and then complain that it’s cold.’

‘What’s nice with this clip is you see the King trying to take his kids – he’s trying to get them to do fun things and have some time with them and enjoy their company,’ Grant Howard, a former royal butler, added.

‘Even though it’s obviously gone wrong with this conversation.’

In another moment from the series, a lip reader claimed that the late Queen and Prince Philip ‘rowed over biscuits’ during a 2004 state visit to France.

The couple were in Paris, watching a calvary display by the elite Cadre Noir riding college, when Her Majesty began rifling through her handbag.

According to Khalil Anwar, she then turned to Philip and said: ‘I have mints in here’.

Her husband then replied with something off-camera, to which Elizabeth ‘snapped back’: ‘Yes, I have biscuits.’

The late Duke of Edinburgh then allegedly responded: ‘I only asked and you are being in a mood with me today. I would like this to be a nice day, today.’

The lip-reader believes that the Queen tried to diffuse the situation, saying: ‘Let’s stop this now. Of course I don’t want you to suffer.’

‘That’s a delightful exchange,’ royal commentator Ingrid Seward told the programme. ‘Philip and the Queen used to bicker a lot, so it’s quite interesting to see the boot on the other foot if you know what I mean.

‘We always hear about Philip being rude to the Queen, but here’s the Queen snapping at him.’

Actress Nina Wadia also called the sweet spat ‘hugely entertaining’.

‘This is just every day real life,’ she added. ‘And I love that they are normal.’

‘What’s funny with this glimpse is everyone wants to know what’s in the Queen’s handbag,’ Grant Howard, a former royal butler, also said.

‘What it says to me is she basically had a walking buffet in that bag!’
