Kate Middleton issued a worried four-word warning to the Prince of Wales ahead of the King's Coronation, a lip reader has claimed.
The couple arrived at Westminster Abbey behind schedule with their two children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and joined the procession before King Charles and Queen Camilla were officially crowned.
The Princess of Wales wore formal dress in her striking Royal Victorian Order mantle on top of her dazzling Alexander McQueen gown while William sported his Order of the Garter mantle.
Cameras snapped the moment the royal couple lined up before the procession began with William and Kate seen exchanging concerned words with one another, the Mirror reports.
It appears the Princess gave her husband a warning before they started the long walk into the Abbey as professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman told the Daily Star Kate had turned to William and said: "just mind the gown".
The expert claims the heir to the throne responded with reassurance as he allegedly said: "Don’t worry I got [or caught] it."

Thankfully, there appeared to be no blunders with the robes during the procession or throughout the rest of the historical Coronation ceremony.
However, one mysterious detail on Kate's exquisite gown left royal fans puzzled after the official Coronation portraits were released.
The Princess' formal robe covered the majority of her Alexander McQueen dress throughout the big day but Kate made the decision to ditch the mantle and show off her outfit for the official photographs.
Eagle-eyed royal fans who were left waiting in anticipation to see the designer frock noticed that the V-shaped neckline of the dress in the released photo was seemingly different to when Kate was at the abbey and it appeared to have a round neck on the same gown.

This caused many to question whether the princess actually had two dresses specially made for the day despite the embroidery on the skirt remaining the same.
However, the peculiar neckline mystery appears to have been solved and it seems it could have all been down to Kate wearing a separate garment on top of her dress.
According to Alastair Bruce, the Sky News commentator and royal expert, Kate wore an additional cape over the top of the dress to prevent it from being damaged from the heavy mantle and chains she was required to wear over the top.

For the official Coronation pictures, Kate appears to have removed the cape to reveal the detailed V-shaped necklace of her gown while showing off the stunning George VI Festoon family heirloom necklace which was gifted to the late Queen Elizabeth in 1950.
The McQueen dress was created from ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and threadwork embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs to represent the four nations.
Her outfit was completed with a stunning Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece with silver bullion, crystal and silver threadwork three-dimensional leaf embroidery which Princess Charlotte also wore a smaller version of.
