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.

Meath dethrone Kerry to book spot in All-Ireland final as Sarah Wall outshines her star sister Vikki

SISTERS Sarah and Vikki Wall helped Meath back to the TG4 All-Ireland SFC final for the first time since 2022. Sarah added a second-half goal to Kerrie Cole's earlier effort as the two-time champions ended Kerry's reign with a fine team display in Tullamore. Síofra O'Shea's free and Anna Galvin's point brought the first two scores of the game for the Kingdom but Marion Farrelly, Emma Duggan and Ciara Smyth snatched a Royals lead. O'Shea levelled but then Kerrie goaled — Cole cutting in from the right and smashing a rocket in off the underside off the bar. Niamh Ní Chonchúir kept Kerry in touch with a brace of points but they trailed 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time. Danielle O'Leary fired the holders back in front two minutes after the restart as she rattled the Royals net but Duggan and Aoibhín Cleary kicked over a couple of settlers for Shane McCormack's team. Read More On GAA And when marauding defender Sarah Wall — whose star sibling Vikki got through plenty of hard work for the Royals — banged in her goal after 40 minutes, the Leinster team hit for home. Former captain Shauna Ennis and current skipper Cleary both pointed, with Duggan adding two more to leave a six-point gap at the final whistle and a Royals team planning for an August 3 final date with Dublin.

Cal Quantrill delivers six shutout innings as Marlins down Royals 3-1

Cal Quantrill spent the All-Star break in Ontario, Canada, relaxing by the lake and retreating from the Florida summer humidity. But when the right-hander returned to the mound Saturday afternoon for the Marlins' second game of their home series versus the Kansas City Royals, it was all business. Coming into the 3-1 win, Quantrill carried uneven numbers: a 5.36 ERA over 19 starts, with 68 strikeouts and 24 walks. But beneath the surface, he believed his performance told a better story. 'I think my pitching's been better than the line shows,' he said Friday. 'Now it's time for a fresh start.' And he delivered exactly that. Quantrill turned in six shutout innings, leaning heavily on the sharp execution of his cutter and slider — a refined one-two punch that Manager Clayton McCullough later called 'his weapons.' His efficiency was striking. He exited after just 69 pitches, having scattered two hits, walked none and struck out three. But more than that, he controlled the game's rhythm with poise and precision, mixing his pitches to keep the Royals' hitters off-balance. Quantrill's first big defensive moment didn't even come from the mound, but from his awareness: a third-inning pickoff that erased Tyler Tolbert just after the Royals outfielder had reached on a line-drive single. 'A bonus pick is always a win as a right-handed pitcher,' he noted. And the Marlins' defense had his back the rest of the way — including a back-to-the-wall, 367-foot grab in center by Dane Myers to preserve the shutout in the top of the third. 'There were some nice defensive plays behind Cal,' McCullough said postgame. 'And Cal kept filling it up — [it] was a really great outing [with] great efficiency.' But with six MLB seasons under his belt, Quantrill isn't just chasing strikeouts. 'There's times to go and try and get [a strikeout], and there's times to take the outs that are given to you,' he said. 'Early in my career, I think I chased the swing-and-miss too much. I think I do a better job of that now.' For most of the game, it was a duel on the mound, but the Marlins' bats sparked late. In the eighth, with the score tied 1-1, Graham Pauley reached via walk. After giving up a strike due to a pitch clock violation, Xavier Edwards delivered a crisp, line-drive double to left — 'crisp' being McCullough's word for it — and ignited the go-ahead rally. With Jesús Sánchez intentionally walked to load the bases, Otto Lopez stepped in and cleared the tension with a 370-foot double to left-center, bringing home both Pauley and Edwards. The hit brought Lopez's RBI count for the game to three. 'Otto has been in a really good place for a while now,' McCullough added. 'It goes back to his high-contact ability [and] his improved plate discipline.' With the win, Miami improves to five games under .500 and will look to sweep the Royals on Sunday as they continue to chip away at the standings. THIS AND THAT: No. 7 MLB Draft Pick Aiva Arquette visited loanDepot park on Saturday afternoon. Quantrill's father, Paul, also played for the Marlins in 2005. They are the third father-son duo to ever appear on the Marlins' Janson Junk will take the mound Sunday in the series finale in what will be his second career start versus the Kansas City Royals. He earned his first career victory his start against the Royals on July 27, 2022.
