A lip reader has unveiled a heated exchange between Queen Camilla and Princess Kate during the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Royal Family bid their final farewell to the late monarch during the funeral and committal service on September 19, 2022.
At one point during the event, Prince George and Princess Charlotte stood behind King Charles and the senior royals.
Jeremy Freeman, a skilled lip reader, claims to have witnessed Prince George attempting to pinch his sister during this moment.
The princess reportedly let out a yelp of pain and turned to face her brother, expressing her discomfort.
However, this incident seemed to annoy Camilla, who frowned and pointed at Charlotte before turning to Kate and muttering, “take her.”
According to other lip readers, as reported by The Sun, Charlotte was observed offering words of wisdom to her brother throughout the day, as keen-eyed royal enthusiasts spotted.
At one instance, Charlotte was seen mouthing something to George, with lip readers deciphering her message as, “you need to bow.”
Prince George, dressed in a navy suit and black tie, appeared to acknowledge his sister’s advice, which served as a reminder of royal protocol.
As the youngest mourners in attendance at Westminster Abbey, Prince George, aged 9 at the time, and Princess Charlotte, aged 7, attracted significant attention.
Judy James, a professional body language expert, exclusively shared her insights with Express.co.uk, shedding light on what the Queen Consort aimed to convey during that particular moment.
James stated, “This is difficult to interpret.
Camilla stands clutching her bag with both hands, looking away, until little Charlotte seems to turn and chat beside but slightly behind her.
We can’t determine who Camilla’s eye contact connects with, and without Kate’s response, it’s challenging to pinpoint the exact moment, which may lead to misinterpretation.”
The state funeral, held on September 19, 2022, followed a period of national mourning.
During this time, hundreds of thousands of individuals visited Westminster, where the late monarch lay in state.
The Treasury confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral incurred a cost of £162 million, with the Home Office contributing £74 million towards the event.
World leaders and members of royalty flocked to London to pay their respects as part of the memorial, while millions of people worldwide tuned in to witness the funeral.
Additionally, thousands lined the streets to honor the late queen.
