‘National anthem Louis!': What Princess Catherine really told Prince Louis during Trooping the Colour
Lip readers have revealed what the royal family was really talking about while waving to the crowds during Saturday's Trooping the Colour celebrations.
This year, the Coldstream Guards 'Trooped their Colour' for King Charles during the annual military parade marking the monarch's official birthday.
Charles and Queen Camilla were joined at the event by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence also joined in alongside Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
The spectacle ended with an RAF fly-past watched on by the royal family before they waved to crowds gathered on the Mall below.
The Princess of Wales, 43, looked radiant as she stood beside her husband, Prince William, and their three children on the iconic balcony.
According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Kate had to gently remind Prince Louis, 7, to stand for the national anthem.
"National anthem. Louis, stand,' Kate reportedly told her younger son.
Louis then reportedly straightened his posture and focussed straight ahead as God Save The King played.
After the festivities were over, Mr Freeman revealed that William turned to his father to remark on the extravagant parade.
William reportedly said "Oh my word, what a day," to which Charles replied: 'Great theatre.'
The small glimpses inside the royal occasion come after another lip reader claimed Charles and Camilla were openly discussing Prince Harry while riding down the Mall in an open top carriage.
According to fellow lip reader Nicola Hickling, who spoke to SkyNews.com.au on behalf of Fruity King, Charles told his wife that he would soon have to talk with the Duke of Sussex.
'He keeps dragging it all up, there seems to be another issue, right now,' the King reportedly said.
'What are you going to do about it?,' the Queen allegedly asked.
'We will tackle it sooner or later, It's all very messy and I will talk to Harry. That'll be fun,' Charles said.
The revelation reportedly prompted the Queen to reply 'oh yes, problematic'.

'Access to royalty': Kensington Palace severs ties with royal donor Minerva Mondejar Steiner following claims she offered access to Prince William for cash
Prince William has cut ties with a high-profile donor after she allegedly attempted to sell access to him and Princess Catherine for tens of thousands of pounds. Minerva Mondejar Steiner, a Filipina-Swiss millionaire and art gallery owner, reportedly offered a private meeting with the Prince in exchange for a £20,000 (roughly AUD$40,000) donation. Her gallery, The Mondejar Gallery, had been an official sponsor of the Prince's annual charity polo event. According to The Sunday Times, Mondejar Steiner circulated an email spruiking "VVIP tickets" and exclusive "access to royalty" to businesses willing to pay £50,000 (about AUD$100,000) to advertise in a magazine handed out at the polo fundraiser. The Royal Charity Polo Cup, held at Windsor Great Park each July, is a strictly invitation-only event where wealthy donors watch the Prince of Wales play polo and contribute to causes close to his heart. Despite already being on the guest list, the 45-year-old reportedly extended a "strictly private and confidential" invitation to members of a luxury concierge network called A Small World, offering them access in exchange for donations to her own charitable organisation, the Mondejar Foundation. "As a patron of the Mondejar Foundation, you are invited to support their philanthropic work through a charitable donation, in return for which you will be welcomed to this prestigious occasion," the email read. "Patron contributions: £6,000 – admission for one patron. £20,000 – includes full access plus a private audience with Prince William and Princess Catherine." Also on offer was a "luncheon" with "free-flowing champagne", entry to an art exhibition and the opportunity to mingle with "ultra-high-net-worth individuals, cultural icons and luxury leaders". The email warned that the invitation was not to be shared publicly or on social media. In response to the damning revelation, Kensington Palace source told The Sunday Times that Prince William "did not condone the type of behaviour" described and thanked the publication for "bringing the matter to their attention". They said the palace had no knowledge Mondejar Steiner was using the event to raise money for her own foundation, nor that she was promising access to the royal couple. It added that they were "only familiar" with Mondejar Steiner's gallery, not her foundation, and had no idea she had partnered with a luxury lifestyle group to distribute invitations. Given the circumstances, they said, the Prince's team had requested that the club sever its ties with her. William, 43, is expected to attend the event, as well as a behind-the-scenes reception to thank "those involved". However, it is unclear whether Catherine, also 43, will be present. Last year, the mother-of-three did not attend the event because she was undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. Despite being cut by the Waleses, the wife of Zurich-based film director Michael Steiner still appears to have plenty of rich and famous acquaintances. In September, she was photographed with Prince Harry at the WellChild Awards in London. Weeks earlier, she posted about meeting actor Benedict Cumberbatch at a film screening on climate change. has contacted the Mondejar Gallery for comment.

Prince Harry to extend an olive branch to King Charles and Prince William amid royal rift
Prince Harry is planning to ask King Charles and Prince William to the 2027 Invictus Games, which will be held in the UK, according to the Mail on Sunday. Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue has discussed Prince Harry's planned olive branch to his family amid the royal rift. 'The reason why he's doing this is because the next Invictus Games is set to be in 2027 and I mention that King Charles in particular has his diary booked almost three years in advance,' she told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. 'And it's not uncommon for the Prince of Wales either and so by getting this in the diary, I think Prince Harry's hoping that any scheduling conflict will be resolved.'

Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia 'blindsided' after Channel Ten abruptly axed him from reality series ahead of 14th season
Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia has said he was "blindsided" after Network 10 axed him from the reality series ahead of its 14th season. A 10 spokesperson on Monday confirmed the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia V The World will be the last series hosted by La Paglia, who already filmed the show before its premiere in the coming months. 'JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years," the spokesperson told in a statement. "Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor." 'We look forward to JLP hosting the next epic instalment of Survivor: Australia V World coming soon to 10." The spokesperson on behalf of the network thanked La Paglia for his "outstanding contribution" to hosting the game show since 2016 and wished him "continued success in his acting and presenting career". 'We will be making an announcement shortly about who will take over hosting duties for the 2026 season of Australian Survivor.' Despite no apparent signs of animosity between the network and La Paglia amid his sudden axing, the TV host appeared to suggest otherwise in a lengthy statement addressing his departure on Instagram. "Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all…because it happened to me," the 55-year-old wrote on Monday. He further doubled down on his claim 10 brutally surprised him by stripping him of his arguably most recognisable TV role. "Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a bitch!" La Paglia said. He continued by saying he recently received a "call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show." "But for next season, they are 'going in a different direction'," the TV host said of the conversation. "Ratings had dipped a bit recently, and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. "So, for the first time ever, this is not a tribe swap but a host swap. Yes, you read that right." Survivor features a group of contestants known as "castaways" living in an isolated outdoor location in Samoa. Its there they must provide for themselves by gathering food, water, fire, and shelter while competing in challenges for awards and immunity. The castaways are progressively eliminated by their peers, with the last member crowned Sole Survivor and awarded the grand prize of $500,000. Former model and Australian Survivor: All-Stars champion David Genant is tipped to replace La Paglia as host, according to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday. Genant recently won $8.7 million on the US TV game show Deal or No Deal Island and is set to compete in Survivor: Australia V The World. The new season will mark the TV star's third time on the series, and he has previously hosted popular travel shows Rush and Getaway. Despite Genant's impressive TV record, a production insider told Daily Mail Australia not everyone is convinced he's La Paglia best replacement. "He doesn't fit the brief," the insider said. "He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. "David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that." The massive shakeup at 10 comes as Australian Survivor struggles with a rating slump. The last season, Brains vs. Brawn II, saw viewership dip to 486,000 total overnight viewers, a far cry from the many millions it attracted in its prime.
