A lip reader revealed Prince George’s cheeky side during Trooping the Colour 2023, as the future king travelled in a carriage with his younger siblings and the senior royals
Prince George made a cheeky remark about his family while at a huge royal event, a lip reader has claimed.
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son, who celebrates his 11th birthday today (July 22), was in the royal carriage at Trooping the Colour last year when he made the comment.
George, alongside his younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, was waving to onlookers while sitting opposite Kate and Queen Camilla.
The senior members of the Royal Family were also spotted sharing a laugh, apparently directed towards the kids. And it was then that George made his comment, according to lip reader Jeremy Freeman. As reported by the Daily Star, George quipped: “Bet they’re kinda proud of me.”
The prince then turned to meet the gazes of thousands of adoring fans who applauded as the procession progressed. The party later made its way onto the Buckingham Palace balcony for the aerial display.
While on the balcony, devoted fans got to see more of George’s loving elder-brother persona towards five-year-old Louis. Amid the grand spectacle of cheering spectators, George was seen gently guiding his young sibling.
A video showcasing their tight-knit relationship took the internet by storm, with George spotted instructing Louis to face the crowd when he turned to chat with his dad.
Charlotte is also rumoured to play a role in keeping her younger brother in line. In one clip from the event, she’s seen telling Prince Louis to lower his arms as the fanfare for the national anthem kicks off.
It comes as the Princess of Wales appears to have broken a long-standing birthday tradition with George today.
But, as yet, no photo has been released so far in a break of tradition that also happened when Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis had their birthdays earlier this year.
Usually, the couple release images for their children’s birthdays under embargo the day before the big day, in what was previously a long-standing pattern.
