Kate Middleton was forced to issue a stern order to Prince Louis on the royal balcony, according to a lip reader.
Senior royals stepped out in front of Buckingham Palace to greet the crowds this afternoon. Thousands had gathered on the Mall to celebrate Trooping the Colour – King Charles' official birthday.
The Duchess of Cambridge was joined by her husband Prince William and three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Louis.
Charles and Queen Camilla were also seen waving to the crowds while Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex were also in attendance.
But, as usual, seven-year-old Louis stole the show, flashing his toothless smile to the crowd and looking in awe at the planes soaring overheard.
As the flypast came to a close and the national anthem started playing, cameras caught Kate seemingly reminding Louis of his duty. According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, she told him: "National anthem, Louis stand."
It's customary for all royals beneath King Charles as well as members of the public to stand when the national anthem is played.
Next to her, William was seen engaging in conversation with his dad Charles. Jeremy says a jubilant William told him: "Oh my word, what a day." The King replied: "Great theatre."
It wasn't the only eye-opening conversation picked up by Jeremy during the iconic event in London.
As they made their way from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards parade this morning, Charles and Camilla were seen in a heated discussion.
Lip reading expert Jeremy Freeman provided an intriguing interpretation of Charles' words. The King is said to have begun with: "Absolutely crazy, disgrace, absolutely extraordinary."
While Jeremy couldn't decipher the entire conversation, he did catch the King saying "on my way out", followed by: "Meanwhile, not like me. That's the difference between me and him."
It's not clear who the "him" was in the conversation, although fellow lip reader Nicola Hickling claimed to the Express that the monarch had earlier been discussing Prince Harry.
This year's Trooping the Colour broke from tradition following the devastating Air India plane crash this week, where 241 people were killed.
At the request of King Charles, Royal Family members wore black armbands as a mark of respect. There was also a one-minute silence in memory of all those who lost their lives.
More than a thousand British Army personnel marched in full regalia, a testament to the nation's military heritage.
At the heart of the ceremony was the "Colour", the regimental standard paraded before the troops. The practice harks back to its vital role as a battlefield beacon.
Charles maintained the long-standing custom of reviewing the soldiers, a ceremonial duty steeped in history.
