  "textContent": "The Royal Family attended Trooping the Colour this weekend (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nSaturday marked one of the most important events in the royal calendar: Trooping the Colour. \n\nThe pomp military procession takes place every year in celebration of the Sovereign’s official birthday, and sees the most senior royals assemble in London for the ceremony.\n\nEver since the royal kids — we’re talking Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight — have been old enough to join in with the festivities, they’ve stolen the limelight.\n\nThis includes Louis’ hilarious balcony antics and George giving protective big-brother vibes.\n\nNow, Jeremy Freeman, an expert lip reader, has revealed some of the conversations that took place between the Wales’ this weekend, from King Charles sweetly guiding his granddaughter Charlotte in flypast etiquette, to Kate Middleton teaching Louis the National Anthem rules.\n\n##  Sign up for all of the latest stories\n\nStart your day informed with Metro's **News Updates** newsletter or get **Breaking News** alerts the moment it happens.\n\nDuring the Red Arrows flypast, which, for those uninitiated, is when the Red Arrows fly over London to conclude the event, the King and co watched from the Buckingham Palace balcony.\n\nAt one point, Charlotte was seen looking up to her grandfather for advice. Freeman told the Express she asked: ‘Time to wave?’ to which the monarch responded: ‘Very good. Now we give a wave.’\n\nA lip reader has shared the conversations that took place on the balcony (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nThe lipreader then claimed that Charles said to the rest of his family — which included Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, George, Louis, Prince Edward, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence — ‘Wave to everyone. Cheerio.’\n\nFreeman said the king concluded with: ‘That’s right, thank you very much.’\n\nMeanwhile, Louis, who was caught on camera yet again leaning to catch the flypast — which made for some great photography — reportedly asked his father: ‘Is there more?’\n\nWilliam replied to his youngest son: ‘No, that’s it. Go on wave, that’s it.’\n\nPrince Louis didn’t disappoint with his cheeky antics (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nLouis’ conversation with his mother, Kate, was also picked up by the lip reader during the balcony proceedings.\n\nJust before the flypast, Freeman told the Mirror that Kate reminded the young prince that he had to stand to attention for the national anthem.\n\n‘National anthem. Louis, stand,’ she said, to which the youngster adhered to his mother’s instructions.\n\nFinally, the king and two future monarchs shared a wholesome discussion during the Red Arrows event.\n\nFreeman said that King Charles asked his son what aircraft was flying over them. William reportedly replied: ‘Errr is that Poseidon?\n\nBut it was George who confirmed the question, confidently saying: ‘It’s a Poseidon, yeah.’\n\n\n\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
