Lady Colin, in her book "Meghan and Harry: The Real Story", said that Harry and Meghan "plunged in, gladhanding those who had been selected for introductions. She charmed everyone.
"Fifteen minutes into the event, she turned to Harry and said, ‘Harry, this is really boring. Let’s leave.’
"To his credit, he informed her that they would have to stay. ‘But Harry,’ she said, ‘this is so boring. We’ve done our bit. Everyone knows we’ve been here. Let’s go.’
"Harry asserted that they had to stay, and they moved on."
However, after examining the footage a professional lip reader has offered an alternative explanation.

The lip reader told MailOnline that a staff member explained to Harry that he had been "called for".
Charles then said to Harry: "We are going now, We have to leave", to which Harry replied: "You go ahead".
The now-King said: "We will go now, see you later", and Harry said in response: "Yes, catch up after."
During their interactions, Harry is approached by a royal member of staff, who appears to tell the Prince that his father wants to talk to him.
The Duke of Sussex then steps aside and Charles quietly tells him something, placing one hand on his son's arm as he does so.
Harry nods and gestures ahead of him before patting Charles on the back and returning to Meghan before Camilla walks over and kisses both Harry and Meghan goodbye before returning to the party.
