A lip reader has revealed Prince George’s impressive words after a pressing question from his grandfather King Charles at the conclusion of Trooping the Colour
Prince George’s impressive response to a pressing question from King Charles has been revealed by a lip reader. The Royal Family was treated to a spectacular RAF flypast at the end of Trooping the Colour as they stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Aircraft roared down the Mall at the conclusion of the King’s Birthday Parade, including the world-famous Red Arrows with the royals on the balcony looking up in awe. As the planes soared overhead, the royals could be seen chatting as they tried to identify which aircraft was which as a whole host of them whizzed through the skies.
And according to a lip reader Jeremy Freeman, it was second-in-line to the throne George who was on hand to help his grandfather the King, who had trouble identifying one plane.
He believes that during the balcony appearance, Charles interrupts a chat between William and Kate to ask: “What is that?” as they look upwards. William tells his father: “Errr is that a Poseidon?” while looking at George for confirmation. And the youngster said: “It’s a Poseidon, yeah”.
It seems 11-year-old George is taking after his father and grandfather with a keen interest in aviation. Last year, it was reported that he was learning to fly and had enjoyed his first lesson at an airfield close to his Windsor home.
Last year, the future monarch was spotted soaring above White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead, Berkshire – a 20-minute drive from Adelaide Cottage – on the final day of his summer holidays, as the Prince and Princess of Wales proudly watched on. An onlooker described the moment, saying: “He loved it. It’s the right time to start.”
“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,” they added.
Elsewhere during the fly-past, Prince Louis, who was dressed in an identical red tie and suit outfit as older brother George, was seen chatting to his father, William, and waving to the crowds.
And in a historic first, the Red Arrows’ finale was powered by a blend of sustainable aviation fuel. The world-famous aerobatic team also used vegetable oil to produce their trademark red, white and blue vapour trails over the royal residence.
The sustainable display by the Red Arrows is in keeping with Charles’ decades-long support for sustainability and climate action.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King was not involved in the decision but was ‘delighted’ because he has been encouraging the use of the fuel on royal flights where practical and hopes the example will lead to wider use across the aviation sector.
