Kate Middleton ‘loves Prince William in military uniform’ says lip reader: ‘He’s so sexy'
KATE MIDDLETON said Prince William looks "sexy" in his military uniform during his Sandhurst graduation, a lip reader has claimed.
Kate and Prince William set to move to Buckingham Palace
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been given a “higher role” within the monarchy, owing to their immense popularity. The couple are expected to return to royal duties this week as their children ‒ Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ‒ return to school. William and Kate are stepping up to the plate as the Queen reduces her royal engagement schedule, according to royal author Andrew Lownie.
The couple are also expected to move to Windsor in the coming weeks and months, where they can be nearer the Queen, upping sticks from their Anmer Hall country home in Norfolk.
Anmer Hall was a perfect base for the Cambridges when William accepted a full-time role as a pilot within the East Anglian Air Ambulance eight years ago, a role he took after his service as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot came to an end.
The royals frequently don military uniforms to carry out their duties, and it appears William’s outfits go down particularly well with wife Kate Middleton.
William graduated from the Sandhurst Military Academy in 2006, five years before the royal wedding.

Unlike his younger brother Prince Harry, William did not serve in Afghanistan, owing to ministerial advice against placing him in dangerous situations.
Kate attended the ceremony with her parents Carole and Michael Middlteon, as senior royals including the Queen watched William’s big day.
Fifteen years on from the graduation, a lip reader has revealed Kate’s cheeky comment.
The lip reader told True Royalty’s documentary ‘Royal Wives’ that Kate whispered: “I love him in uniform, he’s so, so sexy.”
One royal expert said this was the moment she knew Kate and William would one day end up husband and wife.
Rebecca English told the Channel 5 documentary ‘William and Kate: Too Good To Be True’: “We hadn’t expected Kate and her family to turn up, and myself and a number of photographers and journalists were all standing on a press stand together.
“Suddenly out of the corner of my eye we saw Kate and her mother and father being ushered down to the front of the seating.
“I remember turning to the person next to me and saying that’s it, it’s a done deal. This woman is going to be our future Queen.”

The couple split just months later, reportedly due to the prince moving to an army camp in Dorset while Kate was still living in London.
Thankfully, the split did not last long, and reports began to emerge that they had “rekindled” their relationship soon after the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium in July 2007, where they sat two rows apart.
William eventually got down on one knee while the couple were on holiday in Kenya, and the world knew three weeks later after a Clarence House announcement.
They were married in April 2011 at Westminster Abbey, with an estimate global audience of around 300 million.
After serving in the RAF and then working in the Air Ambulance Service, William left this position in July 2017 to assume full-time royal duties.
Currently based at Kensington Palace, the Cambridges have been stepping up their charitable and ceremonial work over the past few years.
However, a move to Windsor would allow the couple to be close to the Queen and also embrace the country lifestyle they know and love.
Andrew Lownie, author of several royal books, told Express.co.uk: “There’s a PR war going on, not just between the Sussexes and the Cambridges, but a PR war by the monarchy to prepare everyone for life after the Queen.”
He claimed we are currently in a period of “what can be called a soft regency” whereby the Queen begins to step back.
Prince Charles is accompanying Her Majesty on the engagements she is doing, so “everyone is being prepared for Charles and Camilla”.
He said: “As a result, William and Kate, who seem to be very popular, are stepping into the position that Charles and Camilla had.
“Because they are, I would say, almost more popular than Charles and Camilla, they’ve probably been given a higher role.”
