The archbishop of Canterbury appeared to stare straight at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during his funeral sermon for Queen Elizabeth II Monday — in what many have speculated was a subtle dig at the estranged royals.
Justin Welby, the religious head of the Church of England, appeared to look right at the exiled couple as he damned “those who cling to power and privileges,” numerous royal watchers highlighted, accusing him of throwing shade.
The archbishop made the biting comment as he praised the late monarch as one of the “people of loving service” who “are rare in any walk of life.”
“ Leaders of loving service are still rarer. But in all cases, those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are forgotten,” he said.
Footage of the sermon appears to show him staring intently toward the section of Westminster Abbey where Harry and his wife were sitting behind Harry’s dad, King Charles III. Harry was also forbidden from wearing his military uniform and from saluting his grandmother’s coffin during the procession.
Many on Twitter insisted the religious leader was making a dig at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have repeatedly trashed Harry’s family after quitting as senior royals in 2020, including accusing them of bullying and racism.

I'm pretty good at the King's English, but what the heck does "shading" someone mean?
Leni
“publicly criticize or express contempt for someone”
“Harry actually did wear his uniform with permission of the king”
Yes, but there was missing hardware on his Uniform shoulders which William did have. My understanding is that it was fairly significant in that it wasn’t there.
“So I have mixed feelings”
It is against the law for civilians in the UK to wear uniforms they wore on active service.
Working Royals wear them because they carry titles pertinent to military service - Colonel-in-Chief of this and that.
What H&M seem to want is to NOT be working Royals, but to maintain the brand so it can be monetized in various ways.
The late Queen, and the present King, obviously respect tradition and the system enough to prevent that.
Maybe, but the funeral was a spectacular display of the power of Christianity - in front of a world and many of its leaders who are so desperately trying to cancel it.
It was the ER Royal cypher (Queen’s initials). From what I read, only certain positions can wear it and when Harry resigned he lost those positions. It wasn’t on his uniform in his wedding either.
Glad you asked! Here is a link to the full sermon’s text, from the website of the Archbishop of Canterbury:
When you are a hammer, everything is a nail.
Bookmarked.
I can’t wait for the day that this so-called beauty drags Harry’s sorry ass through divorce court and cleans his and the Royal Family’s clock.
The Duke and Duchess of Wokifornia? No point in subtle digs for those two.
harry and morgan are the perfect LEFTIST couple
all of the benefit
none of the responsibility
harry lives under her skirt
I know he wasn’t allowed to wear it earlier.
And the two of them to to get out of this country.
There is a thread on FR with his whole sermon.
Only at one point...not during the funeral itself. Same with Andrew.
I hope they stay together and reconcile with their relatives, and raise responsible kids. It would be a good example for society.
OK thank you for this information
