A lip reader has revealed Prince William’s clear instructions to Princess Kate as they navigated a major royal event. Last year in June, members of the Royal Family gathered together to honour their late grandmother the Queen during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

After the service, the couple were spotted chatting on the steps of the cathedral as they awaited their car to take them to the Guildhall for a lunch reception.

A lipreader has disclosed what he believes they said during their exchange, which included clear instructions from Prince William to Princess Kate, reports Mirror Online.

According to lip reading expert John Cassidy, as they emerged onto the steps, Kate remarked on the service saying: “It went very well, very well” with William replying: “Yes, perfect.”

Afterwards, William could be seen waving to the crowd saying hello, and Mr Cassidy says the prince then turned to Kate and said: “Wait for that to move, then we can go.”

Meanwhile, a body language expert who looked at the couple at the same event believes the Prince of Wales gave Prince Harry the "opposite of an acknowledgement" and a "barrier gesture".

Since their feud became public, it has been rare for Prince William and Prince Harry to attend the same royal events.

However, last June, the estranged brothers managed to put their differences aside to honour their late grandmother during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

This marked the first public appearance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at a royal event since they left the monarchy.


Despite their attendance at the event, the brothers were seated far apart and were not seen chatting or even standing next to each other, resulting in a tense service. William's wife, Kate, was also present.

Body language expert Judi James told the Mirror that William adopted a "barrier gesture" as he and wife Kate walked past the pew where his brother sat on the way to his seat.

Judi explained: "Harry looked firmly resigned to the back row here and was not sitting behind his brother as he was for the last service of remembrance.

"Harry’s expression did suggest some relief as he joked with Zara as he searched for his car on the way out and he threw a wide, open-mouthed grin in her direction from the pews, but otherwise he fell into a haunted eye expression with some rapid blinking to suggest inner anxiety, leaning in and down to Meghan when she spoke as though keen to get some support.

"There was the opposite to an acknowledgement from William as he walked past Harry’s row during the parade out of the service. Sucking in his lips and with his chin pulled up in a gesture of resolve he appeared to turn his head in the other direction for a moment, raising his order of service high in a barrier gesture."
