Prince Harry's 'brutal' question to Eugenie at event without Meghan
A clandestine peace meeting last week between top officials representing Charles and his alienated son sent ripples through Royal circles as the duo appeared to inch towards reconciliation.
The discussions occurred just months after an explosive BBC interview in which the Duke revealed that his father "won't speak to him".

Reflecting on the prolonged rift with his relatives, Harry declared: "There is no point in continuing to fight anymore, life is precious."
In what undoubtedly stunned Buckingham Palace, the Duke remarked: "I don't know how much longer my father has," alluding to Charles's cancer battle."
The prince acknowledged that "some members of my family will never forgive me" for penning his tell-all autobiography Spare, before continuing: "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them."
Whilst Harry claims he is "ready to forgive," his fury appeared evident during his father's Coronation, according to a lip-reading expert who has revealed a distressing conversation between Harry and his cousin and long-standing Royal supporter, Princess Eugenie.
A new Channel 5 programme, Lip-Reading The Royals: The Secret Conversations, set to air tonight, has revealed a host of Royal exchanges at key events, with Prince Harry among those featured.
Harry appeared isolated on the steps of Westminster Abbey during his father's Coronation ceremony in 2023, having returned to British soil without Meghan and their children. As the Royal family congregated at the close of the event, it was evident that tensions were still running high.
The Duke then approached Eugenie, one of the few royals he's maintained a close relationship with, and reportedly vented: "I've spent five hours with my dad in his office and not a friendly text from either", as interpreted by a lip reader.
It remains uncertain who failed to message Harry – whether it was Charles and Camilla, or William and Kate – but it appears the Duke has been out of touch with his brother for years.
According to the lip reader, Harry is seen asking "Why hasn't anybody contacted me?" to which Eugenie offers a sympathetic yet reserved smile.
This revelation comes alongside another conversation disclosed in the new television series, this time between Harry and Meghan. This particular exchange took place at a Service of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey in 2018, a mere six months following their lavish wedding at Windsor Castle.
The Sussexes were present at the Abbey alongside the entire Royal family, including the late Queen Elizabeth II, to pay tribute to fallen servicemen and women and commemorate the Centenary of the Armistice.
The documentary delves into a moment where Harry and Meghan, seated and awaiting the start of a ceremony, engaged in a deep conversation, with Meghan posing a significant question to Harry.
Lip reading specialist Nicola Hickling analysed their exchange for the show, claiming that Meghan urged Harry to "take advantage of the situation", as she glanced around at the assembly of royals encircling them.
According to Hickling, Harry's reaction to Meghan's suggestion was one of surprise, as he queried: "Today?", to which Meghan pressed: "Do it tonight."
Following this, Harry is said to have asked Meghan a poignant question: "You do realise that this is the end?" with Meghan acknowledging: "Yeah, I do know".
Royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop then posits that these intimate remarks exchanged by the Sussexes might indicate that they had been contemplating their sensational departure from Royal duties long before they publicly announced their decision.

Music Review: Elton John's 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre With Ray Cooper' spotlights a rich catalog
On Elton John's new concert album, the songs steal the show. Deep cuts from John's rich catalog are given the spotlight on 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre With Ray Cooper.' The 13-song set was culled from a six-show residency in London in May 1977, with John at the piano and his longtime percussionist, Cooper, joining him for the second half of the show. The album initially received a limited release on vinyl for Record Store Day and will be available digitally and on CD for the first time beginning Friday. While John, of course, performed his biggest hits during the residency, the album wisely focuses on often overlooked material, pointing to the astounding quantity of quality songs John produced early in his career. That includes 'Cage the Songbird,' a lilting tribute to Édith Piaf from the underrated 1976 LP 'Blue Moves.' Another highlight from that album is the cabaret jazz ballad 'Idol,' which shows John could have thrived in a lounge had the rock star thing not worked out. The piano man's playing here is closer to Liberace than Little Richard, because ballads predominate, and Cooper's role is tastefully restrained. Even when the tempo gets brisk on 'Better Off Dead,' the song is delightfully hammy operetta rather than rock 'n' roll. From start to finish, John sings with relish: He knows how good these songs are. 'Where To Now St. Peter?' features an especially vigorous vocal, including full-throated falsetto. 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre' underscores John's lyricist Bernie Taupin's vital role in their songwriting partnership. The album opens with 'The Greatest Discovery,' a pairing of sweet sentiment and a charming melody, while 'Ticking' is a gripping tale set in Queens that anticipated America's epidemic of gun violence. John introduces 'Ticking' and two other songs by noting he doesn't perform them often, or often enough. Banter elsewhere is mostly brief and stiff, but his droll wit does surface in one exchange with a spectator. 'How are you tonight? Nice handkerchief,' John says, before telling the rest of the audience, 'He hasn't washed that in three years.' The 1977 performances took place as punk and disco were knocking John off his pop pedestal and ending his years-long reign as a consistent hitmaker. 'Live From the Rainbow Theatre' offers a reminder that not all of his superb songs were singles. ___ More AP reviews:

What to know about the CEO caught embracing an employee on the jumbtron at a Coldplay concert
LONDON — A routine moment of crowdwork at a Coldplay concert went viral last week when a couple tried to avoid the spotlight after they were caught hugging on the jumbotron. Internet sleuths quickly figured out that they were the CEO and chief people officer of a little-known tech company called Astronomer. The snippet of video set the internet alight, fueling a wave of memes and drawing attention to the erosion of privacy in public spaces. Here are some things to know: During the concert on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song,' when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on. A man wearing a birthday sash was up first. Two people in banana costumes were highlighted. But in between, something unexpected happened. For several seconds, a couple was shown on the big screen. They were cuddling and smiling, his arms wrapped around her, as she leaned back into him. When they saw themselves on the big screen, her jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, as did she. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked. It didn't end there. After the video went viral, the internet got to work. Online sleuths rapidly figured out that the man was Andy Byron, chief executive officer, while she was Kristin Cabot, the chief people officer — in other words, the head of human resources. Astronomer, based in New York, provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. The company at first said little about the incident. In response to an initial inquiry from The Associated Press, Astronomer's spokesman said only that a statement attributed to Byron that circulated online immediately after the incident was a 'fake from a clearly labeled parody account.' The company later confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to AP. In the hours after the video went viral, Byron's name was at one point the most searched term on Google. Astronomer eventually addressed the situation, announcing in a LinkedIn post that Byron had been placed on leave and that the board of directors had launched a formal investigation. The company said a day later that Byron had resigned, and that its cofounder and chief product officer, Pete DeJoy, was tapped as interim CEO while it searches for Byron's successor. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said in its post on LinkedIn. It's easy to miss, but most concert venues have signs informing the audience that they could be filmed during the event. Look for them on the walls when you arrive and around the bar areas or toilets. It's common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films. The venue in this case, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, also has a privacy policy online which states: 'When you visit our location or attend or participate in an event at our location, we may capture your image, voice and/or likeness, including through the use of CCTV cameras and/or when we film or photograph you in a public location.' In the internet age, such videos — or ones taken on someone's smartphone — can quickly zip around the world. This video rocketed around social media, as people speculated about why the couple dodged the camera. Empathy for the pair and their families was mixed with plenty of snarky commentary and countless memes, with the fake statement from the chief executive generating a lot of additional vitriol. And news reports said that Byron's LinkedIn account was disabled after it was flooded by a wave of comments. 'It's a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system,' said Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media. 'We are being surveilled by our social media. They're tracking us in exchange for entertaining us.' _____ AP Business Writer Wyatte Grantham-Philips contributed to this report from New York.
