Sorry, I put it in the comment section, here it is:Honestly speaking is a phrase people use when they are telling someone the truth, the same falls for frankly speaking, they don't really have a difference. They are sometimes used to tell people things like their hair is bad or their food is burnt. Example: Honestly speaking, your food tastes bad. Example: Frankly speaking, you have bad hair. I hoped this helped!
