‘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 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'.
