Queen Camilla’s terse two-word order to Princess Kate over Charlotte and George
Queen Camilla was caught on camera “scolding” Princess Charlotte – and issuing a terse two-word command to Princess Kate – during a tense moment deciphered by a lip-reading expert.
The Royal Family gathered to bid their final farewell to the late Queen Elizabeth II at her funeral and committal service on 19 September 2022.
Amidst the solemn proceedings, young royals Princess Charlotte and Prince George were seen following King Charles III and other senior members of the family.
A lip-reading professional, Jeremy Freeman, claims to have observed Prince George seemingly trying to pinch his sister, leading to Princess Charlotte letting out a yelp of discomfort and spinning around to confront him, apparently exclaiming, “ow!”
Meghan Markle, who was nearby, appeared to tilt her head and smile sympathetically at Charlotte. The episode seemed to draw the ire of their grandmother, Queen Camilla, who looked displeased, gestured at Charlotte, and then whispered to her mum Catherine, the Princess of Wales: “Take her.”
Other lip-readers, as mentioned in The Sun, noted that throughout the day, Charlotte seemed to be offering guidance to her brother, as noticed by observant Royal enthusiasts. At one juncture, Charlotte is believed to have advised George, with lip-readers interpreting her silent instruction as: “You need to bow,” reports the Mirror.
Prince George, attired in a dark suit and tie, seemed to acknowledge his sister’s reminder about the expectations of Royal etiquette. The live TV moment where Prince George and Princess Charlotte seemed to have a “disagreement” didn’t go unnoticed, with one viewer tweeting: “Looks like Prince George and Princess Charlotte have a small disagreement. Look at The Queen Consort, Camilla.
Another chimed in with: “What did Charlotte say when she turned back around? Was it wow? Ow? Cow?”
In a contrasting display of Royal poise, Queen Camilla was seen comforting Princess Charlotte after the young Royal stumbled during a curtsy to King Charles last May. At the coronation concert, the Wales family were seen greeting the King and Queen with the traditional bows and curtsies
However, Charlotte , following her mother’s example, slightly lost her balance after curtsying to the King. She looked to her father and brother as she steadied herself.
Despite missing out on a curtsy from Princess Charlotte, Queen Camilla caught the moment and discreetly comforted her step-granddaughter with a gentle pat on the shoulder as she walked by.
