Prince William's 'clear instructions' to Kate Middleton during frosty Harry encounter detailed by lip reader

A lip reader has divulged details on the precise advice Prince William imparted to Duchess Kate during a key royal engagement at which Prince Harry was present .

The event in question took place last June, when the Royal Family united to pay homage to their late matriarch, the Queen, at her Platinum Jubilee festivities.

Post-ceremony, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were seen exchanging words on the steps of the cathedral, waiting for their transport to the Guildhall for the subsequent luncheon. The conversation between the royal couple included direct guidance from Prince William to Duchess Kate.

William was then observed greeting the assembled crowd, after which, according to Mr Cassidy, he instructed Kate: "Wait for that to move, then we can go."

In addition, a body language analyst reviewing their behaviour during the same gathering inferred that the Prince of Wales offered Prince Harry the "opposite of an acknowledgement" and exhibited a "barrier gesture".

Given the widely known rift, appearances of Princes William and Harry at the same royal functions have been scarce. Despite this, last June saw the estranged siblings momentarily set aside their discord to honour their beloved grandmother's jubilee.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle turned up at a royal do for the first time since they quit the family biz, but it was all frosty vibes. The gap between the bros was clear as day, with Prince William and Kate miles away from Harry and Meghan, not a peep between them during the ceremony.

Body language guru Judi James told the Mirror that William looked like he was putting up walls when he strolled past Harry, a sure sign things are still rocky.

Judi pointed out: "Harry looked firmly resigned to the back row here and was not sitting behind his brother as he was for the last service of remembrance."

She clocked Harry having a bit of a laugh with Zara Tindall after the serious stuff, but during the event, the bloke's face and quick blinking said he was feeling the pressure, leaning on Meghan a lot for backup.

William, though, seemed to blank Harry completely, with Judi saying: "There was the opposite to an acknowledgement from William as he walked past Harry's row during the parade out of the service. Sucking in his lips and with his chin pulled up in a gesture of resolve he appeared to turn his head in the other direction for a moment, raising his order of service high in a barrier gesture."
