I’m a lip reader… what the royals said during the coronation – and what the King & Queen noticed during the procession
THOUSANDS watched on as the King and Queen Consort were crowned at Westminster Abbey today.
But lip reader Jacqui Press has revealed there are a few moments between the royals we may have missed – and the very British conversation the King and his wife shared during the procession.
Jacqui told the Daily Mail Online that during their ride in the Gold State Coach, the pair were seen discussing the weather.
She claims the King turned to his wife to discuss the weather, saying ‘oh, look at that’, to which Camilla replied: “Oh look see that… flags.”
The lip reader also thinks she managed to work out some of what the youngest royals said to each other during The King’s Procession.
She claims Prince Louis told his sister: “Look… waving.”
He also added, ‘lots of people waving,’ before commenting, ‘yaaay King’.
Apparently, he was feeling chatty on the balcony too, supposedly asking: “What’s those ‘copters?’
Jacqui then claims Prince William told his son, ‘wave’.
Jacqui also believes to have spotted some interesting comments by the other royals as they took their place on the Buckingham Palace Balcony ahead of the Flypast.
She suggested that the King didn’t want to get too close to the edge, as he was seen commenting: “I don’t want to get too close… I might give myself a fright!”
Turning to Camilla, he supposedly added: “Be careful, come close.”
After taking in the thousands that had gathered down The Mall, the Queen Consort was thought to have said: “Oh look how wonderful this is. Remarkable.”
The lip reader also spotted an interesting conversation between Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Princess of Wales.
She claims Sophie jokingly said to Kate: “Where’s George?”
To this, Kate laughed before adding, ‘Oh yes!’
Before heading inside the palace, Jacqui claims the King thanked the crowds for their support, as he said: “Thank you, everyone thank you for coming.”
The Queen then added: “Bye! So lovely,” before walking inside.
