Louis then says "let's do it together' before the brothers wave to the cheering crowds, claims the lip reader.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte, 10, who were in the same carriage as George and Louis, stunned as they wore matching blue and white outfits.
Prince William, who is expected to have a starring role in today's celebrations, was earlier spotted arriving in a car with his family.
He later appeared on horseback, alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh.

William took part in the military parade, wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, a regiment of which he's the colonel.
Anne hasn't ridden in public since she suffered a head injury, thought to be caused by a horse, at her home last year.
The King's escort stunned the crowds of royal fans as they appeared in formal dress.
King Charles and Queen Camilla smiled and waved at the crowds from their carriage.

The monarch is still undergoing his weekly treatments for cancer so is not on horseback this year.
King Charles asked royals to wear black armbands in remembrance of those killed in the Air India plane tragedy.
Those wearing the bands were the Prince of Wales, Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal, Colonel Blues and Royals, and the Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel Scots Guards.
A palace spokesperson said this is "a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy".

There was also a minute's silence at the event following Thursday's devastating crash which killed at least 241 people.
Many fans braved the early morning rain to queue for a good view - bedecked in Union Jack flags and crowns.
Fans came prepared with umbrellas and rain coats after the Met Office issued storm warnings, as the UK is lashed by floods, thunder and lightning.
But the weather is thankfully clearing up as the morning stretches on.

There will be an incredible ceremony at the Horse Guard Parade and an airshow by the Red Arrows.
This year will be Charles' third Trooping the Colour parade as monarch.
The parade began at Buckingham Palace, going along The Mall and then around the corner of St James's Park to Horse Guards Parade.
When Charles arrived at the Horse Guards Parade, the Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 gun salute in Green Park.

Over 1,400 officers and soldiers, 400 musicians, 200 horses and 10 bands are taking part in the Trooping the Colour event.
The parade today takes place almost five months before King Charles' actual birthday.
Charles was born on November 14, though the reigning British monarch has two birthdays.
The sovereign's birthday, which is celebrated through the Trooping the Colour, usually falls in the summer months.

Moment cheeky Prince Louis leaves older brother George giggling during Trooping the Colour parade
Although Trooping the Colour is meant to mark the official birthday of the reigning monarch, it was little Prince Louis who stole the show. The seven-year-old waved enthusiastically to royal fans as he sped down the Mall in an Ascot Landau with his mother Catherine, Princess of Wales, and his siblings Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, ten. Meanwhile, their father Prince William took part in the parade on horseback alongside the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal. Taking a moment to himself while driving by a sea of Union Jacks, Prince George, who is second in line to the throne, placed his hands over his eyes. A toothy Prince Louis reacted by mimicking his older brother's gesture. Cameras captured the sweet moment Prince George responded to his brother's antics with a beaming smile as the younger, more cheeky royal threw his head back with laughter. Before they could get up to more mischief, Catherine led the children inside to prepare for the famed flypast. Both princes wore smart suits with white shirts and striking red ties as they took part in the historic parade which involves over 1400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians. The Wales Family certainly seem to enjoy coordinating their outfits with Charlotte and Catherine sitting opposite the boys in the carriage wearing matching blue dresses. Catherine, 43, looked resplendent in an aquamarine coat dress from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana 's favourite designer Catherine Walker - complete with a wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill. The mother-of-three accessorised with the Irish Guards regimental brooch as well as the Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings in a sweet tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. They were crafted from pearls gifted to the Queen and Philip from the ruler of Bahrain at the time of their wedding in 1947. Her mini-me daughter Charlotte also paid tribute to the late monarch by rewearing the Diamond Horseshoe brooch she wore to her great-grandmother's funeral. The brooch, which has been in the Royal Family for generations, had been a gift from her 'Gan-Gan' the Queen, and was a fitting nod to Her Majesty's love of horses. Later on, the Royal Family appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast. As ever, Louis put on a cheeky display for spectators - some of whom had camped overnight in a thunderstorm for a good view of the parade. The Wales children and their mother Catherine ride along the Mall towards Horse Guards Parade on Saturday The youngster, known for his 'window wiper wave', waved excitedly at fans as he showed off his gap-toothed grin. Ever the composed older brother, Prince George gently tried to calm Louis down by placing one hand on his arm. Their father William, 40, who looked handsome in a scarlet military tunic looked down affectionately at his sons. At one point, Louis turned to his grandfather Charles and appeared to make an observation about the fighter jets flying overhead. If Louis once found the proceedings overwhelming, you wouldn't know it from the way he snuck in one final wave before Catherine gently ushered her brood back into Buckingham Palace after the spectacular flypast was concluded. Commenting on the young royal's reluctance to go back inside, Judi James told MailOnline: 'There was a seismic change in royal body language signals on the balcony with Louis suddenly morphing into the most visible and active royal but for all the right reasons. 'Instead of his usual playful activities, he appeared totally focused on the aircraft, only turning to his dad to show off his plane spotting skills, with the affirming nods from William suggesting his younger son is becoming a bit of an aircraft expert 'It was also Louis lingering longer before going back in, to gaze down at the crowds and to keep up the increasingly royal looking waves longer than the rest of the Firm.' The royals watch a flypast involving aircraft including the Red Arrows, Chinook helicopters and a Lancaster bomber The young royals smile as they enjoy this year's Trooping the Colour balcony appearance Taking cues from his father and grandfather, Louis attempted different variations of his royal wave while making sure his siblings were thoroughly entertained throughout their balcony appearance - one of the most eagerly-awaited moments of the day. But there was a more sensible side to Louis as he joined Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh in observing one minute of silence in honour of the 241 passengers and crew killed in the Air India plane crash. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for Gatwick Airport came down in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Thursday. After the parade, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet family photograph on their Instagram. 'Another brilliant day at Trooping the Colour for His Majesty's Birthday Parade,' the caption read. 'Thank you to everybody who came, and to all those that took part.'
