Prince William 'goes into dad mode' as he issues order to Prince Louis
In a new Channel 5 documentary, a forensic lip reader weighed in on a sweet family moment captured at Trooping the Colour, one that saw William go into "dad mode" Prince William went into "dad mode" as he issued an instruction to his children at the King's official birthday celebrations, it has been claimed. In a new Channel 5 documentary, Lip-Reading The Royals: The Secret Conversations, which aired last night, a forensic lip reader weighed in on a sweet family moment captured at Trooping the Colour last year. On Saturday, June 14, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, joined King Charles and Queen Camilla on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch a flypast by the Red Arrows. However, Lip reader Nicola Hickling detailed how last year, William issued a fatherly instruction to his children as they watched the spectacle. Yet, it seems that George was struck by something a bit closer to Earth. According to Nicola, William tells his children: "Eyes up to the sky." After this, all three of them look up, and then George turns to his father and says: "The crowd is so loud." She added that a gesture made by Louis was him telling his family that he'd seen a propeller, with George responding by asking: "Where?" Afterwards, Kate asked her youngest: 'Wow, did you enjoy that?" Cristo Foufas, a royal analyst, said: "Kate and William immediately go into mum and dad mode then. 'Can you see it? Oh, they're coming around again', you know, 'Did you enjoy it?' All of those sorts of things they're saying to make it a special moment for their children." He claimed that the couple must have seen a "million flypasts" and that the displays were likely as "dull as ditch water" to them by now, but William and Kate weren't "letting that get to them". Cristo added that the future King and Queen were "making themselves enthusiastic" about it and attempting to make the proceedings "really special" for their children. Trooping the Colour has marked the official birthday of the UK sovereign for more than 260 years. Each year, more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians unite for the proceedings. During this year's event, which featured the usual pageantry, Charles and Camilla rode in a carriage as part of a military procession down the Mall and into Horse Guards Parade, reports the BBC. At the request of Charles, the Royals wore black armbands as a mark of respect to the victims of the Air India crash, which tragically led to the deaths of 241 passengers and crew and at least eight people on the ground. For 2025, the Red Arrows used a greener fuel, which included a sustainable aviation fuel and a biofuel that delivered the iconic trail. The broadcaster also suggested that this would have likely gone down well with Charles, a passionate environmental advocate.

Princess Anne Wears Elegant Navy Wrap Dress—But Her Large Sapphire Brooch Is the Real Head-Turner
Princess Anne reporting for royal duty—no surprise there. The younger sister of King Charles hardly ever takes a pause from her work obligations when it comes to the Crown. Today was no exception as she turned up at the Horse Guards Parade in London for the 2025 Household Division Musical Spectacular, a cherished occasion. Dressed to impress, Anne donned an extremely flattering wrap dress in a silky navy hue and subtle paisley print. But it was her stunner of a brooch that most caught our brooch that Anne wore is actually a replica of one Queen Camilla stepped out in earlier this spring. The Prince Albert brooch—which features a large oblong sapphire surrounded by 12 round diamonds—was a gift from Albert to his soon-to-be bride, Queen Victoria, on the night before their wedding in was a beloved piece for Victoria, who wore it often, but stopped following the death of her husband in 1861, according to the Court Jeweller. In Victoria's will, she designated the piece 'an heirloom of the Crown,' which meant that it is specifically intended for use by future queens and queen consorts—hence, Camilla's choice to wear the $10 million brooch in Italy this past to Anne: As the story goes, the brooch was so popular at the time that Prince Albert supposedly had copies made of the original for his daughters. The late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have given one of those replicas to her own daughter, Princess Anne. For her part, Anne typically reserves its use for more high-profile occasions, a nod to the significance of today's event. The blue sapphire is particularly striking against the navy hue of her wrap dress. (It doesn't hurt that the princess color coordinated her gloves and heels, too.) But truly, Anne's brooch game is strong and her royal collection is clearly vast. Still, it's easy to see why this particular piece is a favorite.
