Another said, "give him a chance. It has changed since the last time he sang it. He has not learnt the new words as yet wrote another user while defencing the Prince. "I can see Harry's lips moving. He's obviously not singing like he's at karaoke, but he clearly forms the "Qu" sound and he shuts his mouth at the end. You're a hateful non," said another.

"Edward wasn't singing either. I think it's sometimes hard to sing when you're emotional," said another user.
Harry was seated behind his father King Charles III and the Queen consort and his step-mother Camila. His wife Meghan Markle was by his side all through the service.
