Duchess Sophie gave blunt four-word response to an 'impatient' Princess Charlotte
At last year's Trooping the Colour Princess Charlotte was eagerly awaiting the event, and turned to Duchess Sophie for reassurance.
Princess Charlotte and Duchess Sophie share intense moment at Trooping the Colour
Princess Charlotte was spotted getting a little "impatient" at Trooping the Colour last year, where members of the Royal Family gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony to celebrate the monarch's official birthday.
Charlotte and her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis were seen with their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla and their great aunt and uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
While watching the service at Horse Guards Parade Charlotte was seen chatting with Duchess Sophie, and a lip-reading expert has revealed exactly what was being said.
Jeremy Freeman explained later to the Daily Star that at one point the young royal asked her great aunt: "Sophie how long will it be?"
The Duchess is said to have replied: "I think it's now".

For Trooping the Colour last year Charlotte wore a red and white sailor's dress, paired with her Papouelli "Siena" Shoes in Cream Leather which cost £89.
Sophie meanwhile donned her Beulah London Yahvi Midi dress teamed with an extravagant hat typical of royal occasions.
Sadly for the royals the balcony may look a little lighter at Trooping this year, which will be held on June 15, if it even goes ahead at all.

The Firm has had to cancel or postpone a series of engagements following the announcement of the General Election last week, which will be held on July 4.
Until then the royals have to be careful to avoid any activities or visits which are seen as overly political or distracting attention away from the campaign.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that it was likely that Trooping the Colour would go ahead, even though some senior royals would not be able to attend.
He told Express.co.uk: "I am sure that William will attend as Colonel of the Welsh Guards. Obviously, Catherine is unlikely to because of her health and it may well be that their children will miss this year's Birthday Parade."
Princess Kate has remained out of the royal spotlight as she continues her cancer treatment, and has requested privacy for her and her family at this time.
It may well be that the children do no attend Trooping without her, although Prince George was able to attend the FA Cup Final with dad William last weekend.
