King Charles was spotted guiding an uncertain Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony today. The monarch is celebrating his official birthday, marked by the annual Trooping the Colour parade in central London.

Senior royals including the King and Queen, Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Princess Anne were all in attendance to watch the iconic flypast over the Palace

But it appears the younger royals were rather uncertain as to the protocol up on the balcony.

The Royal Family

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman exclusively deciphered a telling conversation for The Mirror just as the Red Arrows flew over, signalling the end of the event. According to Jeremy, Princess Charlotte was seen turning around and asking: “Time to wave?”

Charles then replied, seemingly to everyone: “Very good. Now we give a wave.” Underlining his order, he added: “Wave to everyone. Cheerio. That’s right, thank you very much.”

Louis was then seen turning to his dad William and asking: “Is there more?” The second-in-line to the throne underlined his own father’s order by replying: “No, that’s it. Go on wave, that’s it.”

It wasn’t the only telling conversation picked up by lip readers during today’s Trooping. Jeremy noticed one conversation between Louis and Kate that seemingly showed he had been learning from his brother Prince George.

Meanwhile, a body language expert claimed the balcony appearance showed the royals were “divided”. Judi James told the Mirror: “The newly-pared down royal firm we saw on the balcony showed two family ‘teams’ or units: On one side we had the solid, dependable and unproblematic royal ‘rocks’ in the shape of Edward, Sophie, Tim and Anne and on the other side of the balcony the tightly-choreographed, immaculately stylish and elegant Wales’s.

“With no Beatrice or Eugenie, the face of the Firm looked emphatic and undiluted. There was even The Duke of Kent there to symbolise the generation before and maybe show the resilience and stoicism of that generation as he is still working in his nineties.”

One royal that was, unsurprisingly, nowhere to be seen, was the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Hours before the event kicked off, he was spotted with a mystery bruised face still lingering.

His daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice were also not in attendance, as the King looks to slim down the monarchy.

Thousands of royal fans descended on the Mall to try to witness the famous moment at 1pm this afternoon.
