Lip reader reveals adorable remark George made to Princess Kate during state carriage procession
A lip reader has revealed the adorable comment Prince George made to Princess Kate during the Trooping the Color procession.
The 10-year-old appeared stunned as he rode in a carriage with his mother and younger siblings Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six, as they watched the gathering crowd of thousands of royal fans line the Mall.
George told his mother, Kate Middleton, 42, “they all look so happy,” lip reader Juliet Sullivan told MailOnline, before waving to onlookers who had gathered to wish King Charles a happy birthday.
Today marked the Princess of Wales’s first public appearance in months as she has been treated for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February.
The royal family was on hand to ensure her children enjoyed a family day out to celebrate their grandfather’s birthday. Her presence meant that they did not have to travel to the palace without an adult in their carriage.

The Princess of Wales was also later spotted talking to Louis on a balcony during the Horse Guards parade in another adorable exchange.
Prince Louis was seen playing with a curtain drawstring when he asked his mother: “Do you know how they make these, ma?”
Juliet revealed that the king also seemed charmed by the event when he commented: ‘Look at this! Beautiful! So colourful’ as he rode in the carriage with Queen Camilla.
Prince William took part in the parade on horseback, while his children appeared in a carriage alongside their mother.
Kate’s presence will no doubt be reassuring to the youngsters as they watch the flight fly by from the balcony of Buckingham Palace – where Prince Louis famously covered his ears to block out the noise in 2022.
After the Princess of Wales’ carriage arrived at Buckingham Palace, she and her family stepped out and showed off their outfits.
Ahead of her performance, the princess penned a moving personal message thanking the public for their support through her cancer diagnosis and revealing she was looking forward to attending the traditional ceremonial day.

In March, the princess announced that she was undergoing ‘preventive chemotherapy’ for an undisclosed form of the disease. Her treatment is still ongoing and will last several months.
Although she will not return to public duties full-time, she revealed that she is now feeling well enough to take on a small number of public duties in the coming months.
To mark the news, Kensington Palace also released a stunning new portrait of the princess, taken in Windsor this week by Matt Porteous, which shows her looking good and in a thoughtful mood.
In her message, the princess says she has been ‘overwhelmed’ by all the sweet messages of support and encouragement over the past few months.
“It really has made a world of difference to William and I and helped us both through the tougher times,” she wrote.
Movingly, she reveals that she is making ‘good progress’, but adds: As anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and need to rest your body. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of your good feelings.”

She added: ‘My treatment is ongoing and will continue for a few more months. On the days when I feel well enough, it’s a joy to get busy with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, and start some work from home.
‘I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade with my family this weekend and hope to take part in some public performances this summer, but I also know I’m not out of the woods yet.
‘I’m learning to be patient, especially when it comes to uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take some much needed time to heal.
Thank you for your continued understanding, and to everyone who so courageously shared your stories with me.”
The princess first announced that she had cancer on March 22.

In a hugely moving video statement recorded in Windsor, she revealed she was diagnosed after a serious abdominal operation in January and was already undergoing ‘preventive’ chemotherapy.
In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed just two days earlier, Catherine revealed that the news had come as a “huge shock” and that she and William “have done everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of of safety’. our young family’.
“It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that suits them, and to reassure them that I am fine,” she said.
“As I told them; I am doing well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirit. It is also a great source of comfort and reassurance to have William by my side. As does the love, support and kindness shown by so many of you. It means so much to both of us.”
Kensington Palace said at the time that it would not share details about what type of cancer the princess has, or what stage of cancer it is, and asked people not to speculate.
At the time of her abdominal surgery in January, Kensington Palace said it was not cancer. In March they reconfirmed that this is the case and that no tests had confirmed the presence of cancer. However, post-operative tests revealed that ‘cancer was present’.
A week ago, the royal family apologized for missing an important rehearsal for the event, writing to the Irish Guards and said: ‘I hope I can represent you all very soon’.
