LONDON, UK: Families will support you through thick and thin while also guiding you through behavioral lapses, and the royal family is no exception. 

Recently, a lip reader revealed to the Daily Express that in a rare moment recorded on camera, Queen Camilla was seen having a "scolding" word with Princess Charlotte, and giving a terse command to Kate Middleton.

During Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral march, the two young royals were seen having a minor discord which seemed to have gained the then Queen Consort’s attention, leading her to have a word (or two) with the Princess of Wales.

Queen Camilla had a ‘scolding’ word with Princess Charlotte

Recently, renowned lip reader Jeremy Freeman seemed to have observed the proceedings between the royals during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral march. 

As the royal family gathered to bid farewell to the beloved monarch, a little exchange between Prince George and Princess Charlotte caught the attention of the public.

During the committal service on September 19, 2022, the Wales children were seen following King Charles closely. 

At one moment of playful sibling interactions, George pinched his younger sister, which resulted in an audible reaction from Charlotte. 

The young princess squeaked out an audible “ow!” which seemed to have gotten the attention of quite a few royals. 

Standing in the vicinity was Meghan Markle, who gave a gentle nod and sympathetic smile following the incident. 

However, the exchange also caught the attention of their step-grandmother Queen Camilla.

The elderly royal appeared to whisper to the children's mother, Kate Middleton, “Take her.”

As with children, the skirmish did not last long, and Charlotte was back to behaving as the etiquette guiding force for her brother. 

According to other lip-readers, who talked to The Sun, Charlotte provided necessary royal etiquette lessons to the young heir throughout the day. 

In one instance, she appeared to have reminded George to follow royal etiquette, mouthing, "You need to bow," as interpreted by lip-readers, per OK!

George, however, seemed to pay attention to this instruction and followed.

Queen Camilla and Princess Charlotte’s comforting moments

Despite having a “scolding” moment between the two, Queen Camilla and Princess Charlotte’s relationship is not only marked by admonishment but also compassion. 

As the young princess is growing up to be an elegant royal, she makes a few mistakes here and there. 

At the coronation concert last year, Charlotte lost her balance momentarily when she was curtsying King Charles, her grandfather. 

As she steadied herself, the Queen noticed it and discreetly comforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder as she walked by, per OK! Magazine.
