A lip reader has revealed Prince Louis had one pressing question for the Queen yesterday as they viewed the Platinum Jubilee celebrations from the Buckingham Palace balcony. The young prince, four, stole the show for many as he pulled a series of playful faces and showed huge excitement during an RAF flypast that ended with a spectacular display by the Red Arrows.
At one point Louis could be seen exchanging a few words with his great-grandmother as they awaited the planes and helicopters to fly overhead. And a lipreader has told the Mirror what the pair appeared to be talking about - and it seems Louis was eager to know one thing.
According to Jeremy Freeman, Louis asked: "Are the Red Arrows coming?" To which the Queen very dryly replied: "I hope so." When the Red Arrows did show up and painted the sky red, white and blue, Louis' excitement seemed to peak after Mr Freeman says the youngster exclaimed: "Yes yes yes." He also added that the Queen then said: "There it is" before Louis added: "Oh Red Arrows - whoah."
Meanwhile, Mr Freeman also picked up on another exchange when young Louis was seen covering his ears as planes roared over Buckingham Palace in the shape of the number 70 - the number of years in the Queen's reign. He says that on seeing this, the Queen said: "Ohh fun" with Kate saying "amazing" and Charlotte adding "Wow".
As Louis covered his ears, Mr Freeman says he said: "Whoah - that was loud", while a proud Kate said to Prince William "look at him" - about their young son.
