    But when I right click on the database and check properties I see the below error which is kind of weird.

    Not at all weird. Only the principal replica and any read-only replicas can show properties, because that requires reading system tables from the database. If the database is unavailable (normal for the non-readonly secondaries), those tables can't be read and so the show properties will throw an error.

    As per the error message:
    Either data movement is suspended or the availability replica is not enabled for read accessthe availability replica is not enabled for read access.
