Prince William enlisted the help of Prince George on the royal balcony after a question from King Charles, a lip reader claims.
In royal tradition, the family gathered on the famous balcony for RAF flypast, which soared above The Mall and Buckingham Palace.
The formation was also made visible to those across central London and surrounding areas, creating an unforgettable sight for all that looked on.
Those in attendance included the monarch himself, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
According to expert lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, the couple's eldest son didn't hesitate when it came to naming one of the aircrafts that flew over them.
Analysing the footage, he claims that while William and Kate were having a conversation, King Charles asked: "What is that?", as the family looked up to the sky.
In response, the Prince Of Wales reportedly said: "Errr is that [a] Poseidon?", while looking at George.
"It's a Poseidon, yeah," the young royal is said to have confirmed. This isn't the first time Prince George has shown his love for planes. When he was just a toddler, mum Kate revealed he was "obsessed" with the air cadets and wanted to join when he was older.
And last month, at the royals' balcony appearance for the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, George's love shone through once again.
As the event got underway, the young princes appeared to be chatting about the roaring aircraft surrounding them, as their mother listened in.
Footage at the time showed Prince William, Kate and their children intrigued by one of the planes that flew over their heads.
According to Jeremy, Kate said: "Watch this one", to which Louis replied: "Ooh, that's cool".
George then reportedly helped his little brother with identifying the aircraft, by saying: "That's a Globemaster," while pointing to the plane.
Louis responded: "That was great", and according to the lip reader, Prince William also echoed his words. George is said to have then further expressed his admiration for the planes by urging his mother to: "Check that one".
Kate, in response, said: "Oh, there it is.' Last year, it was reported that Prince George had been seen taking up flying lessons.
The Sun claimed that William and Kate looked on as he made his debut from White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead, which lies around ten miles from the family's home.
An onlooker said: "He loved it. It's the right time to start." Another claimed: "The Royal Family has a proud tradition of flying and it looks like George is next in line.
"His parents watched George take flight from the safety of the ground but he flew with an instructor and loved it."

Lip reader reveals what cheeky Louis asked George from carriage
George, 11, with his cheeky younger brother Louis, seven, were spotted arriving for the King's birthday celebrations were seen grinning and deep in conversation as the open carriage rolled along the Mall A lip reader has revealed what Prince Louis asked his brother Prince George as the royals arrived for Trooping the Colour today. Cheers erupted from the crowds as George, 11, with his cheeky younger brother Louis, seven, were spotted arriving for the King's birthday celebrations. The two brothers were seen grinning and deep in conversation as the open carriage rolled along the Mall on a glorious sunny morning. Now, a professional reader has revealed exactly what she thinks the young pair were talking about. The expert told The Sun how Louis asks George: "Should I wave?" George then turns to his younger brother and is said to have replied: "It's up to you, I can't believe how sunny it is.' Louis then says "let's do it together" before the brothers wave to the cheering crowds, the lip reader revealed. Prince Louis showed off a major change at Trooping the Colour yesterday - but still had Prince George and Princess Charlotte to keep him on track, according to an expert. The seven-year-old who has long delighted the crowds at major royal events thanks to his cheeky personality was back again charming royal fans. And while charming spectators, body language expert Judi James believes he gave a glimpse into his potential future. She told the Mirror: "Prince Louis's body language on the balcony suggested he's grown from the playful member of the royal firm into a fully fledged plane-spotter. "He looked more focused than fidgety, watching each aircraft as they flew overhead before turning to his dad in what looked like an attempt to identify them. The avid nods from William and the smiles of pride from Kate suggested he was correct with them all, too. With a father and grandad both pilots, there are signs this might be a future career for Louis. "He is also a very confident-looking young royal too. Charles nudged him to chat and Louis was the one lingering longest to wave to the crowds, only turning to go in when Charlotte ushered him." During the balcony moment, members could be seen chatting to each other as the planes flew over the palace. Spectators in The Mall cheered as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team – the Red Arrows – flew overhead releasing colourful trails of red, white, and blue smoke. This year marks the third Trooping the Colour parade of Charles' reign. The colour – regimental flag – being trooped this year is the King's Colour of Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards, also known as the sovereign's bodyguard and which is celebrating its 375th anniversary this year.

'Scared' Gemma Collins 'calls 999 after receiving abusive letter at her home'
The Only Way Is Essex icon Gemma Collins reportedly had to call the police after receiving a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home A 'scared' Gemma Collins reportedly called the police after she received a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home from a man who wrote about his extreme dislike for her. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 44, called the cops, who then visited her home in the countryside. Following the reported incident, it has been said that the TV personality has upped her security with round the clock dog patrols and loved ones keeping her company. According to an insider, the Celebrity Big Brother icon was left 'shaken and very scared for her safety' after receiving the letter. The source said the abusive letter was from a "man expressing his extreme dislike for her and using menacing language." They added: "It was really nasty and made reference to tracking her down, so she called the police straight away." The Mirror have reached out to Gemma's representatives for comment. The source went on to tell The Sun that Gemma has been grateful to the police for their help in the "ongoing investigation". In May, Gemma revealed on a podcast that she had to deal with stalkers over the years, which "played havoc on her mind". Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bloody crap I've had to deal with. I've had a woman stalker who wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. "You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts at the shop. Weird. People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' Meanwhile, Gemma has been struggling with her health in recent weeks. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection, and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she felt as though she was "dying".

BBC Gladiators star tipped to star in Strictly Come Dancing
Former Olympian and star of Gladiators Harry Aikines-Aryeetey - better known as Nitro - is expected to appear as a contestant in the 2025 season of Strictly Come Dancing Gladiators star Nitro has been signed up to star in the 2025 season of Strictly Come Dancing. The 36-year-old, whose real name is Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, has some prior experience on the hit BBC show. He was a contestant in the 2024 Christmas special where he was paired with professional dancer Nancy Xu, 33. The pair impressed the judges are were one of the highest scoring couples, scooping an impressive 37 points for their Street/Commercial performance. The former Olympic sprinter impressed bosses who are now hoping to secure him for a full season of the long-running dance contest - which will be in its 23rd season this year. There are hopes he will be able to work around his busy schedule that relates to Gladiators - which traditionally films across the summer. While Strictly usually begins airing in August each year, the contestants are secured weeks in advance and immediately begin training in an effort to gain confidence on the dance floor ahead of the live shows beginning. A source has told The Sun: 'Bosses have been desperate to get Nitro on the series for a while. They were in talks last year but couldn't get the timings to marry up with his work." The source continues: 'He was a huge hit at Christmas prancing around in lycra and showing off his biceps. Producers were also impressed with his dancing." The source also explained that they hoped Nitro's inclusion could attract a whole new range of fans to Strictly - as bosses are hoping to capitalize on the family friendly success of Gladiators. The Mirror has contacted the BBC and representatives of Harry for comment. Strictly has continued to draw scorn and scandal in recent years after accusations of abuse by professional dancers and star signings disgracing themselves with ungentlemanly behaviour. Last year, Go Compare singer Wynne Evans raised eyebrows when he ran his hands over dancer Katy Jones. He later caused scandal during the 2025 Strictly Live Tour when crude comments he made behind the scenes were made public. Fellow 2024 star Jamie Borthwick was engulfed in scandal this month as it was revealed he used a derogatory term to describe the people of Blackpool when the BBC show filmed there. A dark cloud hovered over Striclty last year when actress Amanda Abbington made accusations she was abused by professional dancer Giovani Pernice. A BBC investigation was held while Giovanni walked away from the show while protesting his innocence. Fellow professional dancer Graziano Di Prima admitted he kicked celebrity partner Zara McDermott during rehearsals and he left the BBC show. Strictly is expected to continue this year, with judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood all set to return. It may be the final time that Craig takes up a seat at the table as he has long vowed to quit the series after he turned 60. With that landmark passed this year, some fans fear he could retire at the conclusion of the upcoming season. However, the star appeared to backtrack on his promise last year. He told The Mirror: "I have no intention of quitting because it's a fantastic Saturday job that I intend to do into my 80s, as long as I'm still compos mentis, darling! and if I haven't been cancelled before then!"
