EXCLUSIVE: The King and Queen had a private conversation today at Trooping the Colour.
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive for Trooping the Colour
A lip reader has revealed an animated discussion between King Charles and Queen Camilla during today’s Trooping the Colour royal carriage procession in central London. The Royal Family showed up in a united front today to mark the official birthday of the monarch. Aside from the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales with their children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Royal with her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, were in attendance.
At one point, as the cameras captured the procession, the King appeared to be in a mysterious conversation with his wife. Lip-reading specialist Nicola Hickling gave the Daily Express an interpretation of what really happened between the two, based on snippets she gathered from the live broadcast.

Ms Hickling said, on behalf of Betfair Casino, that Charles allegedly told Camilla: “I’m in a right mess.”
The lip reader revealed their conversation:
Charles: “Could you get up? It’s trapped, I need to pull it out so I am comfortable.” (Camilla stands to get off Charles’ coat)
In another snippet, the King says: “Come on, let’s wave.”
Elsewhere, the two appear to be having a mysterious conversation over an apparent meeting on Monday.

Charles: “I’m in a right mess, (mumbles) it’s a mess.”
Camilla: “Oh, don’t worry.”
Charles: “We shall wait and see them on Monday; it must be done.”
The Princess of Wales and her children joined the Queen and thousands of spectators at Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall to view the spectacle featuring some of the nation’s most prestigious regiments.
Future king Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight, watched their grandfather from the first-floor window of the Duke of Wellington’s former office overlooking the parade ground in central London.
Crowds had gathered in The Mall to watch the royal family’s carriage procession from Buckingham Palace with Charles and Camilla in the middle of a Sovereign’s Escort provided by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
The way was led by the Band of the Household Cavalry with two shirehorses bearing solid silver kettle drums and musicians.
