According to a lip reader Prince Harry, who earlier this year released his tell-all memoir Spare, joked about his busy day and told Jack he would be leaving at "about quarter to four."

Prince Harry, the fifth in line to the British throne, announced in January 2020 that he and his wife were stepping back from their role as senior members of the royal family. In March he made a surprise visit to the UK to attend a court hearing as part of his claim against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information-gathering.

This was his first visit to the UK since the Queen's funeral last September. The visit came just weeks after the publication of Spare, which went into detail about his troubled relationship with his father and brother.
