Prince Harry didn't seem to have any pleasant moments with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. This was what royal fans saw on television as the Duke of Sussex apparently snubbed the politician during their final royal engagement on Commonwealth Day.
According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were making their way to the guests' line to greet the dignitaries and the VIPs. However, Prince Harry appeared to go past the prime minister and only nodded in his direction to acknowledge his presence.
In response, Johnson was seen on television saying hello to Prince Harry. But the Duke of Sussex spent more time talking to the person beside Johnson, who was Patricia Scotland, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
Royal fans on Twitter apparently praised Prince Harry for allegedly snubbing the prime minister. Some even said that the Duke of Sussex had some backbone, who will not fake it just for the sake of the Crown.
But body language expert Judi James had a different take on this short moment with Prince Harry and the prime minister. She told Daily Mirror that Prince Harry appeared to have exchanged a chat with Johnson though it was not in the tone of the royal's most animated or engaging chats.
The royals were also advised not to shake hands with the dignitaries amid the coronavirus scare hence they avoided warm greetings. However, Prince Harry enthusiastically greeted some of those in the line up with an elbow bump, except Johnson.
The Guardian described the prime minister an unpopular populist who has been likened to U.S. President Donald Trump. However, Prince Harry apparently said that Johnson is a "good man," according to The Sun.
Apparently, two pranksters from Russian pretended to be Greta Thunberg and recently made a phone call to the Duke of Sussex. The fake Thunberg talked about her frustrations for Trump and Johnson to Prince Harry.
The royal, who reportedly had no clue he was being pranked, apparently appeased Thunberg and explained that the two leaders are already set in their ways as they have been around this world longer. Thus, their beliefs are different from Thunberg. However, Prince Harry convinced the fake Thunberg that she's in a good position to look deeper into Johnson to change his mind.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is stepping back as a senior member of the royal family effective March 31 with his wife. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are going to live half their time in Canada and the United States.
