‘He looks so handsome riding in his uniform’: Lip reader reveals Kate’s cheeky comment to George about his father – as fans swoon over future king on horseback

A lip reader has revealed the Princess of Wales’ sassy comments to Prince George about his father; fans loved the future king on horseback in Trooping the Colour.

Catherine, 44, made cheerful comments about her husband to her eldest child as she rode through the streets of London with her children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.

According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, the future Queen told George that William ‘looked very handsome in his uniform’, before adding: ‘I think he’s gorgeous, George.’

George, who sat across from his mother at Saturday’s event, may have turned down his mother’s cheeky compliments, as the princess later appeared to joke: ‘I’m having fun with you, she looks so clever.’

Kate and the young royal later laughed together as they headed towards The Mall, a ceremonial route outside Buckingham Palace used during major sovereign events.

His greetings came as the 43-year-old Prince of Wales, who serves as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, rode on horseback in full military regalia to Join the Colours, a ceremonial event to mark the monarch’s birthday.

Walking ahead of Princess Anne and Prince Edward, William stood out in red, wearing the Welsh Guards Full Ceremonial Guard Order.

His uniform, complete with a traditional black bearskin hat, included Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals and a badge of honor to his father, King King III. It was complete with decorations such as the Coronation Medal awarded to Charles when he ascended to the throne.

William wore the uniform of the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards, which prompted carefree compliments from his wife.

And her outfit caused quite a stir not only for her husband, but also for fans who shared their delight at the Prince’s dress online.

A user on X posted a video of William with the caption: ‘Prince William on horseback and in uniform. ‘Is it hot in here, or is it just me?’

‘Pretty good,’ said one agreeing reply, while another sarcastically said: ‘The Princess of Wales is one lucky lady.’

Yet Princess Catherine she was equally striking and typically elegant in her own outfit.She paid tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, with a blue and white dress.

She wore a Lafayette-style Catherine Walker coat dress that was strikingly similar to the cut Diana wore to many events in the 1980s.

Diana’s light blue version, also with white trim, was also made by the same designer and was worn specifically for Prince William’s first Easter ceremony in 1987.

During the event, Diana was paired with William, who was four at the time, with the young prince dressed in a pale blue Catherine Walker design for the chapel in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Lafayette is described on Catherine Walker’s website as ‘an impeccably designed, handmade, precisely defined couture dress’.

Princess Diana and Prince William wore a blue Catherine Walker design while attending the Easter service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in 1987.

She says: ‘The silhouette is lengthened and sculpted throughout the bodice; ‘sharp, structured shoulders and clean princess seams framing the waist before transforming into a sleek, flowing midi-length skirt.’

Catherine’s decision to wear Diana’s favorite Catherine Walker for such a high-profile event comes as no surprise.

Joining the Color is among the most important ceremonial events in the royal calendar.

Historically, Colored Troop ceremonies have seen colors or regimental flags used as rallying points in battle used “in formation” or paraded in front of soldiers for recognition.

Since then, this event has turned into a celebration of the president’s birthday.

This year, the Color of the King’s Grenadier Guard was used, which Charles presented during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace earlier this week.

The stands around the Horse Guards Parade were filled with approximately 8,000 guardsmen and officer family members.

Charles passed through about 1,000 guardsmen from the Grenadier, Scottish, Irish and Coldstream Guard regiments, inspecting the troops from a carriage, and then stood to salute as the colors passed him.

The event, attended by more than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians, culminated in a Royal Air Force flyover watched by senior royals from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The King cut a stylish figure in his military uniform, while Queen Camilla opted for a red silk crepe Grenadier Guards uniform dress designed by Fiona Clare. as the pair made their way from Buckingham Palace towards the parade ground.

The monarch and her husband, who waved from the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the ceremonial parade, were joined by family members including the Welsh, Princess Anne and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

But this year’s Trooping the Color was not without its hiccups.

The anti-monarchy Republican group attended the event and held up umbrellas reading ‘Stop the Monarchy’.

As the Princess of Wales and her young children entered Buckingham Palace, slogans such as ‘Not My King’ and ‘Not My Queen’ were heard; Kate appeared to be looking at demonstrators who booed as she walked past.
