During Trooping the Colour, King Charles is seen advising Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on royal etiquette from the Buckingham Palace balcony, according to interpretations from lip-reading in coverage of the event. The reports describe King Charles directing the younger royals during moments when the royal party appears on the balcony for the annual parade ceremony. One account focuses specifically on King Charles’ guidance to Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as they observe proceedings. Another notes that, alongside King Charles, Prince William is also present and that the group’s balcony interaction includes the guidance involving the two children.
Both outlets describe the same setting and participants: the King and Prince William appear with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the balcony at Buckingham Palace as Trooping the Colour unfolds. The accounts agree that the communication is detected through lip-reading rather than announced publicly, and therefore the reports frame the King’s “order” as interpreted guidance during the celebration. The event takes place in connection with the King’s official birthday observance.
