King Charles' cheeky three word reply to Queen Camilla's order on palace balcony

King Charles gave a cheeky three word reply to Queen Camilla after she gave him an order during their balcony appearance, a lip reader has claimed.

The monarch appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony with his family by his side for his first ever Trooping the Colour parade as King.

The royals watched the magnificent RAF flypast, which featured around 70 separate military aircrafts and took place on Saturday, June 17 at around 1pm, the Mirror reports.

Thousands of fans gathered for the historical event and as the recently-crowned King and Queen stepped out, eagle eyed watchers noticed Camilla putting a hand on Charles' shoulder and pulling him back slightly.

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman, who also noticed the interaction, has claimed that as Camilla moved him back, she actually gave him an order.

The expert claims that Queen Camilla said to her husband: "Don't walk away, you know I can't walk on my throne/own."

To which, Charles replied: “Oh deary me.”

On Saturday's event, Charles became the first monarch in over 30 years to appear on horseback during the Trooping the Colour service.

It was the first time a reigning monarch has ridden at the annual event since Queen Elizabeth's beloved horse Burmese carried her for the last time during the 1986 ceremony.

Charles took the royal salute as Colonel in Chief of the Household Division's seven regiments during the ceremony, staged on Horse Guards Parade, as members of the royal family and 8,000 spectators watched.

The King was joined on horseback by the other royal colonels which are the Prince of Wales, Colonel, Welsh Guards; the Princess Royal, Gold Stick in Waiting and Colonel of The Blues and Royals; and the Duke of Edinburgh, riding for the first time in his role as Colonel of the 1st Battalion London Guards, formed last year.

All the usual pomp and pageantry was on display for the historical event but it was Prince Louis that once again stole the show as he saluted the crowds.

Only working royals appeared on the Palace balcony to watch the formation of planes roar above them with the cheeky five-year-old pulling a range of hilarious faces and saluting the crowds.

For the outing, the young royal looked smart in a shirt and tie with his trademark shorts and as they prepared to leave Horse Guards, Kate appeared to tell her youngest son to sit up as she fussed with his tie.

BBC commentator Huw Edwards was one of the viewers that caught onto this interaction and described Kate as "tidying up" Louis before they headed back to the palace for the finale.
