Royal Family's subtle shared detail convinces fans it's huge swipe at Prince Harry

Many senior royals were out in force this week for various events and engagements, with some eagle-eyed royal fans convinced that the likes of Princess Kate and King Charles were sending a subtle message to Prince Harry.

In the weeks after the Duke of Sussex’s meeting with his estranged father, sources close to Harry say he was left “infuriated” and that he thought senior Palace aides were trying to torpedo his attempts at reconciliation with the Firm, urging “the men in grey suits to stay out of it.”

Now, fans online have noticed the monochrome colour palette of grey suits worn by senior royals this week, and believe their outfit choices could be a subtle yet hilarious dig at Harry’s comments.

The Princess of Wales travelled to Lincolnshire where she visited RAF Coningsby yesterday, stepping out in a coordinated grey suit, while King Charles also donned a grey suit for an event in Scotland to celebrate the King's Foundation's '35 under 35 network'.

During an engagement in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, Princess Anne also opted for a grey suit as she spoke with Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska before talking with children who have lived under occupation in a children's rights protection centre. 

The unified colour palette immediately set tongues wagging among royal fans online, with many suggesting it was more than just a coincidence. Taking to X, royal fans quipped: "Oh well played. Grey suits galore today."

"All senior royals in grey. Cough cough! This is the shade of the century,” chimed in a second. A third added: "The senior Royals in grey suits is hilarious. Their humour is great, showing they call the shots.”

During his recent visit to the UK, last month, Harry had a private tea with his father lasting just under an hour - a meeting widely seen as a tentative step towards rebuilding their relationship.

However, after reports surfaced suggesting their reunion at Clarence House was “distinctly formal” with Harry feeling like an “official visitor,” the narrative of their reunion turned sour.

The Duke was reportedly furious at what he viewed as a concerted campaign by unnamed Palace officials to sabotage his attempts at reconciliation following their fall out. He was reportedly particularly infuriated by their hostile briefings to newspapers.

A source close to Prince Harry told the Mail On Sunday: "The relationship between the Duke and His Majesty The King is a matter for the two of them and the two of them only. The men in grey suits should stay out of it."

One comment in particular appeared to hint Harry had overestimated a meeting with Charles, claiming the Duke had "mistaken a brief tea and a slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles." The Sun also claimed Harry's meeting with the King had been "distinctly formal" and that the Duke later described the meeting as "very official, like an official visit."

The outlet then reported there were no further plans for them to be seen together in public. It also declined to retract the statement with the Duke's spokesperson issuing a statement, adding: "Recent reporting of the Duke's view of the tone of the meeting is categorically false. 

"The quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son."
