Zara Tindall's poignant gesture to 'isolated' Prince Harry as he walked alone

Zara Tindall was spotted making a significant peacemaker gesture to her cousin Prince Harry during the King's Coronation.

The isolated Duke of Sussex made a fleeting appearance at his dad's big day, and was pictured at Heathrow Airport just hours after he was crowned - in order to see his son Archie on his fourth birthday.

Being a seemingly isolated figure at the ceremony, Zara was spotted by eagle-eyed royal fans making an effort to make him feel welcome by chatting to him as they entered Westminster Abbey, reports the Mirror.

Harry has a strained relationship with Charles and William and his attendance at the Coronation was his first public appearance alongside other royals since his controversial memoir Spare was released earlier this year.

While there were questions over whether the Sussexes would be at the Coronation, in the end Harry said he would be there but Meghan Markle decided to stay in the United States with their children.

Harry was seated in the third row for the crowning of Charles at Westminster Abbey - two rows behind his brother William.

Zara and her husband Mike Tindall are believed to be two of the few royals that Harry still has a close relationship with since deciding to take a step back from public life and move to the US.

Harry was walking into Westminster Abbey with his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie when Zara was seen to turn her back on the rest of the group she was with to say hello to him after he was seen to mouth “hi”.

Also during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Harry and Meghan were seen having a friendly chat with Zara.

Meanwhile, a lip reader has claimed Harry confessed he’s “fed up” during a chat with Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack.

Before the proceedings began, Harry was spotted having an intense conversation with Jack, who seemed to have sympathy with his cousin-in-law.

A lip reader picked up on the moment where Jack asked Harry: "The meeting?"

It's not known what meeting Harry was referring to - and whether it did or did not take place.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the expert said Harry replied: "It's sad. I'm fed up, I've tried talking to him."It's then claimed that the pair had another chat later on while they waited for the new King and Queen to arrive at Westminster Abbey.

The lip reader believes Harry replied to an unknown question from Jack which was referring to Meghan, saying: "No, she's at ..."

While tilting his head, Jack supposedly asked: "And is she?" Nodding to confirm, Harry added: "It's not ideal."
