00:05The Royals are the most talked about family on the planet.
00:09There's not another family that has that kind of notoriety.
00:13They have to mind their P's and Q's wherever they are and be careful of what they say.
00:17But what if we could find out what they're saying when they think nobody is listening?
00:22William glances at Catherine and she says, stop arguing.
00:27To if the Queen replies, let's stop this now, of course I don't want you to suffer.
00:32In this programme we will show the Royals as you've never seen them before.
00:36And to say all of this is not true, absolutely not true.
00:42I've followed the Royal Family for many years and I've never had this kind of insight.
00:47Because a crack team of lip readers are starring through the Royal Archives.
00:52It's like I'm listening through my eyes, my eyes are my ears.
00:56This is what they believe they're saying in their most unguarded moments.
01:00Meghan is very jealous and a scaremonger.
01:03They will be lifting the lid on the pomp and ceremony.
01:07And then Charles, half joking, says, what if you're nude?
01:12It's nice that they're actually laughing on the balcony
01:14because it's a very difficult thing to do the balcony appearance.
01:17William continues by saying, everyone seems to be having a jolly time, celebrate it with us.
01:22Now we've got the words to go along with this. Wow, does it come alive?
01:26These insights are unprecedented.
01:28We didn't know any of this before the lip readers told us.
01:31This is the Royals as you've never heard them before.
01:46King Charles' coronation would take place in May of 2023, after he had been waiting to take the throne for
01:5473 years.
01:57Being born a prince, being born an heir, must be, on the one hand, incredibly privileged, wonderful,
02:05having women falling at your feet as much wealth as you could possibly want.
02:09But on the other hand, you've got the anticipation of the job which is going to be coming to you.
02:16Well, who knows?
02:18It took Charles over 70 years to get that job.
02:24I suppose by the time Lake Queen got into her 90s,
02:28that maybe he was beginning to think about the day when he took over.
02:36And every king needs a queen.
02:40Camilla Packer Bowles was Prince Charles' childhood sweetheart.
02:45She was not popular, which is why Charles took so very, very long to introduce her to the British public.
02:54It was very, very gradual because he knew, and rightly so, that they would get to know her in the
03:01end,
03:01but they had to be given time.
03:06After a difficult start to his relationship with Camilla, the British public warmed to her,
03:12and Queen Elizabeth II sensed that shift in public opinion.
03:17Of course, Queen Elizabeth, before her death, said it was her wish that Camilla be the queen consort.
03:24She wanted to get the Charles and Camilla situation sorted before she died,
03:31because she just wanted to know that her son was going to be all right.
03:36And this meant Camilla would be crowned alongside her husband, Charles.
03:42Who would have ever thought, 30 years ago, that she would end up being Queen of the United Kingdom?
03:51But she has.
03:52It has been a long journey for her, but I think that she makes King Charles a better king,
04:00and I think the public see that.
04:03But not everyone was happy.
04:06Four months prior to the coronation, his second son Harry released a damaging autobiography,
04:12casting a shadow on the event.
04:14We're at the beginning of 2023. Huge year for the monarchy.
04:19We're going to have a new king crowned.
04:21The coronation is a matter of months away.
04:25The rest of the royals, though, knew the show must go on.
04:31Everybody likes the idea of a lot of glitz and glamour, and my goodness,
04:35there was a lot of glitz and glamour at that coronation.
04:38The coronation was particularly exciting compared to other events that have happened,
04:43because it was proper kind of pomp and splendour.
04:48From a historical point of view, it was so interesting to see how everything happens and functions.
04:57And that's the most beautiful thing about the UK, is the history that you have here.
05:02We're steeped in it compared to other countries.
05:09The majority of the nation had never experienced a coronation,
05:12and the anticipation was at fever pitch for this joyous occasion.
05:18The Brits do love a royal event.
05:20We love to celebrate with our royal family.
05:23We love it day out. We love to party.
05:25And the coronation was all of that.
05:28The whole of the country was celebrating this event like it was happening in their own home.
05:33And it was a very special thing that hadn't happened for many decades.
05:37So it was a huge event that needed to be celebrated.
05:41And while the nation parted, the king and his queen consort had the small matter of the ceremony ahead of
05:48them.
05:50Here you are, in Westminster Abbey, for your coronation that you waited for 70 years for.
05:58And you've done the ceremonies of state.
06:01You've done them countless times.
06:03But this is your coronation.
06:05This is your crowning.
06:07This is your anointing.
06:15And in a world exclusive, our team of expert lip readers have been analysing every camera angle
06:21and have uncovered what they believe really happened at the coronation
06:25when the royals had these conversations in plain sight.
06:30Our first in-depth look at these previously inaudible words
06:34reveal the king was keen to get things right for his special day.
06:39This is a clip now of Charles entering Westminster Abbey.
06:42He's clearly a little bit nervous about this and he's asking a few questions.
06:45The first thing Charles appears to ask the priest is what if something goes wrong, you know, when it shouldn't.
06:51And then immediately after that he says, that's the moment I find bothersome.
06:57Charles then says, I hope I don't get anything wrong, you've got to say.
07:01The priest then reassures Charles by saying, of course, to which Charles responds with, I bloody hope so.
07:09We actually see a sign of nerves where his hands come together and they can fiddle a little bit just
07:14under his cloak.
07:14So that is a real sure sign that there is something that's making him anxious and nervous.
07:20This is the biggest moment of his life.
07:22This is a moment where he's actually going to get the thing he's been waiting for for over 70 years.
07:27So he wants it all to go smoothly.
07:33Fortunately, his words were at the prompt of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
07:38So there was no real danger of him getting it wrong.
07:41But nevertheless, there is that concern. There is that element of nervousness.
07:46Because the eyes of the world, the eyes of the whole globe are on you for this particular occasion.
07:53It was very important to him.
07:55And he really did want to ensure that he got it right.
07:59And he did. We shouldn't be surprised.
08:03I love that. I absolutely love that.
08:06That is so human. That is so real. That is so...
08:10I kind of hoped he would say things like that.
08:13The fact that you would express that, you know, to the vicar and say,
08:17Yeah, I'm nervous. You know, really, really hope this goes okay.
08:21And then not help swearing. I bloody hope so.
08:24I love that. He's human. It's made me like him even more.
08:3174 years and 173 days after Charles was born heir to the throne,
08:37it was time for him to be crowned.
08:41There wasn't a channel you could put on on the television where it wasn't the coronation.
08:45There's a generation, my generation, who watched the coronation on television,
08:50the first big television event in 1953.
08:53But for a lot of people, it was the beginning.
08:56It was the beginning of a reign.
08:58It was watching something that they had never seen before,
09:02with the knowledge that they will probably see another one in their lifetime.
09:06Two billion people globally tuned in
09:08as the cameras captured Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby,
09:13carefully placed the St. Edward's crown,
09:15the official coronation crown of the United Kingdom,
09:18on King Charles III's head.
09:21It is a 22-carat golden masterpiece, weighing over two kilograms,
09:27and was originally made in 1661 for Charles II.
09:31King Charles is really quite relaxed, actually, and willing to be in the moment.
09:36They're bringing history to life before them.
09:39He already seems to be conscious that he's king, and he cannot be over-emotional.
09:44And he's in charge. He is very much in charge.
09:48And he has to set an example, and that is by being serious.
09:52I mean, you could see on the television cameras.
09:54With Charles now successfully crowned,
09:57cries of God save the king rang out in Westminster Abbey
10:01and around the four corners of the United Kingdom.
10:04When it's your coronation, you are the standout personality
10:09that is going to be officially crowned and anointed in the eyes of God.
10:15People remember the coronation for what it is,
10:17not because of the whole theatre
10:19and the tens of thousands of cheering crowd.
10:22That's what people remember.
10:24The coronation was the moment that Charles had waited for his entire life.
10:30For him, for the country, it was an absolutely huge moment.
10:36To the millions watching at home, the ceremony was planned to perfection.
10:41But while it's now over,
10:43the cameras are still following the royals' every move.
10:46They can't get away from the cameras,
10:48and everybody with a mobile phone is a potential paparazzi.
10:53And with all these camera angles to choose from,
10:56attention now turns to Camilla.
10:59The day came when she would be crowned as well.
11:03I can't think of many events, actually,
11:05where people sit down and congregate together
11:08to watch something live like that.
11:11It ties us to our history, and it ties us to our future.
11:16The countless cameras in Westminster Abbey
11:18captured the moment she was crowned from every angle.
11:21She was bestowed with the Queen Mary crown,
11:24originally crafted for the 1911 coronation of Mary of Tech.
11:28Ladies had their hair of a certain style,
11:31and she would have been concerned that her hair was being ruffled.
11:34to have this crown put on it, and her hair still look in place.
11:39The Art Deco-inspired crown, weighing over 500 grams,
11:43was designed with 2,200 diamonds
11:46and serves as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II,
11:50with the diamonds previously worn as brooches by the late monarch.
11:55Our lip readers can give us an insight
11:57into what King Charles' beloved Queen Consort is saying
12:01as she exits Westminster Abbey.
12:03First thing she appears to say is,
12:05oh, this crown is a bit of a struggle.
12:07She then turns to the page bar and says,
12:09come on, move it.
12:11We need to try and make it to the carriage.
12:14And again, she's struggling a little bit
12:16with the weight of the crown.
12:17She then says, I did very well.
12:20Oh, and she's obviously quite pleased that she's made it.
12:22Down the steps are now with Westminster Abbey.
12:24You've got to love Camilla. You just have to.
12:27Firstly, her shoulders are up like this.
12:30I think she's trying to hope that that might help her
12:32carry the weight of the crown on it.
12:34And that she might balance it properly.
12:37And yes, congratulate yourself. No one else will.
12:39Genuinely.
12:40I don't think people realise how hard it must be
12:43to have to go and do all this stuff with King Charles.
12:47All eyes on you.
12:48They say that self-praise is no praise at all.
12:51But actually, I think Queen Camilla saying to yourself,
12:54I think I did very well. I think you did do very well.
12:58She did extremely well.
12:59And she needs a great big pat on the back
13:01and even probably a bunch of roses to say thank you.
13:05In late Queen practice, the Buckingham Palace with the crown,
13:08wearing the crown and walking with it,
13:11you've got to be perfect plus one.
13:14And they were both perfect plus one.
13:18Charles and Camilla may be the main attraction,
13:21but best supporting act goes to the forever dependable
13:24William and Catherine and their children,
13:27nine-year-old George, eight-year-old Charlotte
13:29and five-year-old Louis,
13:31who are experiencing the biggest royal event so far in their lives.
13:36So now we've got William and Kate in a carriage with their children.
13:39The first thing William seems to say to the children is,
13:42OK, wave now. Wave to everyone.
13:44We're on TV, so be on your best behaviour, OK?
13:48William continues by saying,
13:49everyone seems to be having a jolly time.
13:51Celebrate it with us.
13:52The last thing that William and Kate say to the children in this clip is,
13:55oh, look at the horses.
13:56This is a really nice interaction to watch as a lit reader.
14:00You can see flashbacks of how Diana was with the boys.
14:04So we see a relaxed, happy family, genuinely happy, genuine smiles,
14:09body language is all relaxed.
14:11They actually look like they're genuinely enjoying the time.
14:14Now we've got a really nice family scene with Catherine and William.
14:20Everyone's having a jolly time.
14:22Everyone's celebrating with us.
14:24I like the fact that it's, you know, I'm still your parent,
14:28you still need to be on your behaviour,
14:29but you can enjoy the fact that everyone is here to celebrate our family.
14:36I mean, that is getting the balance right.
14:38Royal parent versus royalty.
14:42Aww.
14:43That's actually really sweet.
14:45That is a moment that it almost feels like it was scripted for them to say in the character.
14:51Like, say this when you're in there.
14:53They seem happy, smiling, but not just a, it's not a false smile,
14:57it's a smile with the eyes involving the children, you know,
15:01getting them, oh, look at the horses, and wave to the people,
15:05and we're on television.
15:06It's really, it's really nice to see, like, that happy family.
15:10Soak up the atmosphere,
15:11because it ain't going to happen again for another 20 years, hopefully, 25 years.
15:22Coming up, our brave king powers through.
15:25What came first, from his standpoint, was duty.
15:29He did his duty.
15:30And that's what was expected from the people.
15:33And Prince Harry tests the king's patience.
15:36Harry Comets haven't really been too annoying towards him.
15:51We Brits have been obsessed with the royals for hundreds of years.
15:55I think a lot of countries are jealous that we have the royal family.
15:59They love because actually people can see there is a real family kind of set up there.
16:05But what do they say when they think nobody is listening?
16:10Charles looks like he's saying,
16:11I don't want my crown to topple over.
16:14Over 20 million of us watched the coronation.
16:18It was a huge event,
16:20and I cannot believe that the lip readers have managed to extract these insights.
16:26Our lip readers have been analysing the rest of the ceremony,
16:29and can reveal it wasn't all plain sailing.
16:36So Charles and Camilla are riding in the carriage together,
16:40and they're heading towards the ceremony.
16:45He seems like he's detached from everything.
16:48And then as he turns back, he mutters,
16:51Damn it.
16:53I've had enough, haven't you?
16:57Camilla offers no response to what Charles had just said,
17:02and then Charles blurts out right after,
17:06Oh, s***ing.
17:10Camilla's reply is obscured.
17:13And then at that moment, Charles abruptly says,
17:18Wrong.
17:21And you know it.
17:23How can you?
17:31His hand goes up, which is a sign of annoyance.
17:34It's quite a sharp gesture,
17:35and often does accompany a swear word when we're irritated and annoyed.
17:40I wouldn't be too fussed about expletives,
17:43but Charles's father, Duke of Edinburgh, was pretty good on those.
17:46You know, they're human after all.
17:48Camilla goes on to say,
17:50That I do know.
17:52It's spoiled the whole day.
17:54And Charles responds,
17:56Yes, I know.
17:57It's a mess.
18:00Could it have been another member of the royal family
18:03who threatened to disrupt King Charles's big day?
18:06There were all sorts of other subplots going on.
18:09Would Harry attend?
18:11Would he attend with Meghan?
18:14Will William and Harry be talking to each other?
18:17So, a lot of that, I wouldn't say it overshadowed the coronation,
18:21but it was certainly a subtle...
18:27In January of 2023,
18:30four months prior to the coronation,
18:32Prince Harry published his memoir, Spare,
18:35in which he attacks everyone,
18:37including the new Queen Camilla, his father's wife.
18:42Harry had published his book, Spare,
18:44in which he'd rubbish the family.
18:46You don't forgive.
18:48You don't forget in that timeframe.
18:50There were 150 cameras covering the procession
18:54and the ceremony inside Westminster Abbey.
18:57Which means for Harry, there was no getting away
19:00from the gaze of our skilled listeners.
19:02And they have fresh insights on previously inaudible conversations.
19:07In a discussion he had with Princess Eugenie on the steps of Westminster Abbey,
19:12our lip readers can exclusively reveal that Harry was not all that happy.
19:19So, I believe that Harry said,
19:22I spent five hours with Dad in his office
19:25and not a friendly text from either.
19:29He's clearly upset about it,
19:31and you can see it on his face when he's talking with Eugenie.
19:34It is sad.
19:35We see what we call a facial shrug,
19:37and that tells us it's a sign of disapproval.
19:40So, he's not happy about that.
19:41He's not happy that he hasn't had a friendly text off either.
19:45The conversation that Harry is having with Eugenie
19:49about not being contacted by either of them
19:53is really put into context
19:55when you look at the events around the coronation.
19:58It could explain King Charles' irritable mood
20:01as he made his way to Westminster Abbey.
20:04I think what Harry has inherited is his Uncle Andrew's arrogance,
20:09believing for a moment that he can do no wrong
20:12and he has done no wrong,
20:14and he expects everybody to fall at his feet
20:16just because he turns up.
20:22With Harry now inside the Abbey,
20:25he moves into conversation with Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank.
20:30So, Jack says to Harry,
20:31so what's cracking on?
20:33Are you out with the picture?
20:35And Harry didn't seem to quite catch it
20:37or was plain dumb,
20:38but he just replied with an A.
20:41A few seconds later, Harry commented to Jack saying,
20:44I haven't really been too annoying towards him.
20:47You can't say what you say and get away with it.
20:49So, out of the picture, probably very much so.
20:53I haven't been too annoying,
20:54so I wonder what he did that was a little bit annoying.
20:57Probably he turned up late as well.
20:58Who knows?
21:00He's just a naughty boy, isn't he?
21:02He just is.
21:03And I love that.
21:04I love that about him.
21:06How kind of you, Harry,
21:08to not be so annoying towards him.
21:10Oh, how nice of you to not annoy your father
21:13on the biggest day of his life.
21:19It might have been his dad's coronation,
21:21but it wasn't just the king Harry had to worry about.
21:25Shortly after that, Eugenia leans over to speak to Harry,
21:28asking him, have you spoken to Catherine and William
21:30about what to expect when they get to Westminster?
21:33To which Harry responds, that's crazy.
21:35That must mean they think I'm an embarrassment to them.
21:39Eugenia makes the ultimate mistake.
21:43Never, ever ask Harry about the problems
21:46that he's having with his family.
21:48I mean, he's written a book about it,
21:49he's given interviews about it.
21:51As the lip readers have exposed,
21:53as soon as Harry gets the chance
21:56to give a diatribe about his family, he does.
22:00I think he's very concerned about the situation
22:03with his brother and wife, Kate.
22:07And seeing them in Westminster
22:09must have been kind of nerve-wracking,
22:12especially when he's on his own.
22:14I do see from both points of view.
22:17From William's point of view,
22:18he must be thinking,
22:19well, you're tearing the family apart.
22:20So there are two sides to everything,
22:23and it must be so incredibly hurtful.
22:28What the lip readers believe they have found
22:30are the family tensions bubbling to the surface
22:33on this joyful occasion.
22:35Harry then says,
22:37I thought he was angry,
22:39but yesterday I got a good night's sleep.
22:41It isn't easy, you know.
22:44He's shunned by the family,
22:46which, what did he expect,
22:48having rubbished them for over five years?
22:51So, no, it probably isn't easy for Harry.
22:56Harry goes on to talk about
22:58how he thought someone was angry.
23:01I mean, would this be his father?
23:03If we look at the other insights earlier
23:06of what Charles was saying in the carriage,
23:09it would quite possibly be him that he's talking about.
23:13But, phew, at least you managed to sleep soundly
23:16after all of that.
23:17We're all relieved, Harry.
23:21King Charles has remained dignified throughout,
23:24maintaining a firm stance
23:25whilst keeping the door open
23:27for a personal and private reconciliation.
23:31But he's got more important things on his mind
23:33than his wayward son,
23:35and that's getting the coronation right.
23:37Before the ceremony even began,
23:39there was an issue,
23:41because the horses pulling his carriage
23:43travelled faster than expected.
23:45On this particular day, his day,
23:49the day that he's been waiting for 70 years for,
23:52it's messed up because the carriage arrives early,
23:57and arriving earlier meant that William was behind him
24:02instead of in front of him.
24:06He's been waiting for a while.
24:06With King Charles and Queen Camilla
24:08forced to wait in the carriage outside Westminster Abbey,
24:11his mind returns to Harry.
24:13And our lip readers believe that they have uncovered
24:16the heartache Harry is causing his father.
24:23You can see, at this moment,
24:26he looks red-eyed and emotional.
24:29As he says, it's hurting me.
24:33I also believe he then says,
24:36anyway, I will write to him again and prove it.
24:40I believe that he finishes off by saying,
24:43I think he'd rather be here like he's supposed to be.
24:48When something we don't like or is painful,
24:51we close our eyes to distance ourselves from it.
24:54Well, Harry was at the coronation,
24:57and Charles has always been hurt by Harry's antics.
25:02Charles is an emotional person.
25:04He wears his heart on his sleeve.
25:06I think it really shows, actually,
25:08that King Charles is a human being,
25:12because this is what happens.
25:14When you're delayed, when a normal person is delayed,
25:17then they get annoyed about the delay,
25:19but then they start to get annoyed about other things
25:21that have gone wrong in their day.
25:24I think he was referring to Harry and his wife.
25:28It's like he's saying that he wants to be here in the UK,
25:31like he should be, and that she's taking him away.
25:34But, personally, I think if he wanted to be, he'd be here.
25:38He just probably wants to go and just get away from it all.
25:41What's also really amazing is that Camilla is sat there
25:46and she has heard it all before.
25:50We don't see much of her,
25:51but what we can see is that she is just saying nothing.
25:55She knows just not to speak up, not to say a word,
26:00just let him get on with it.
26:05Despite the family rift,
26:07Harry's invitation was always assured.
26:08But who else was on the guest list?
26:12The fact that we had our first coronation in 70 years
26:17was a new phenomena to the people of the UK.
26:20It was the hottest ticket in town.
26:23From celebrities to world leaders to community champions,
26:27everyone who is anyone wanted to be there.
26:30Well, almost everyone.
26:33There was a lot of speculation in the papers
26:35about whether Meghan would be in attendance.
26:38In the end, she wasn't,
26:40citing a need to be at home with the children.
26:43And maybe Meghan felt justified in staying at home
26:46thousands of miles away in California.
26:49Meghan stayed away because she was being a bit cowardly,
26:52because she knew by that point public perception
26:54was absolutely against her.
26:56We have this nonsense excuse she had to stay behind
26:58and look after the children.
26:59I mean, I think they can afford childcare.
27:01By all accounts, Meghan didn't see eye to eye
27:04with many of her in-laws.
27:06But while she was out of sight,
27:08was she out of mind for the royals?
27:10Our lip readers believe she was a hot topic of conversation,
27:14even though she was well out of the way.
27:18Princess Anne and Edward, Duke of Kent, are sitting next to one another
27:24in Westminster Abbey.
27:26And I believe that the conversation is all about the current affairs
27:31that are happening within the royal family.
27:33And I believe that Edward says,
27:36they won't know until they've broken up.
27:39We mustn't let her get too comfy.
27:42And then Anne responds to Edward by saying,
27:45Meghan is very jealous and a scaremonger.
27:50Meghan has always been jealous,
27:51jealous of other members of the family.
27:53So I can understand how the family react to Meghan.
27:59There's no love lost between them.
28:02And nor will there be.
28:05After Anne said this, they both laugh.
28:08Anne goes on to say,
28:10I've made sure that she knows that I'm idiot-proof.
28:14And then Edward responds,
28:16we shall continue to ignore,
28:18but it's the most effective way for removing the unwanted.
28:23And then Anne says,
28:25we have amounted that there is a disconnection.
28:33I'm absolutely blown away that during this coronation,
28:39that they are having these sorts of conversations
28:42within earshot of each other.
28:44It's just, it's unbelievable to me.
28:47Talking about when they split up,
28:49we won't know until when they split up.
28:51So it's like,
28:52they know or think that they know that they're going to split up.
28:57It's crazy.
28:59They clearly don't like her and waiting for them to split up.
29:03But where's the support for Harry and that then?
29:06They are so on the nose and so...
29:11I find that shocking.
29:12I'll be honest, I find it really shocking.
29:15Wow, she was really disliked, wasn't she, Meghan?
29:18I'm just a bit speechless because of how blatant it is
29:23and how it is spoken about in that way.
29:26These are secret conversations,
29:29well, that aren't so secret
29:31because they're clearly happy to have them
29:34under the public gaze.
29:37Coming up, all hail King Charles.
29:42It was the beginning of a reign.
29:43It was watching something that they had never seen before.
29:47King Charles is really quite relaxed, actually,
29:50and willing to be in the moment.
29:52They're bringing history to life before them.
29:55And heavy the head that wears the crown.
29:58Charles looks like he's saying,
30:00I don't want my crown to topple over.
30:01Imagine that.
30:03He takes his duty very seriously from the get-go.
30:06This just shows how dutiful a king he is.
30:23The coronation was a huge display of everything that makes Britain great.
30:27They bring the whole of Britain together.
30:30They are normal, lovable human beings
30:32who are going through everything in the public eye.
30:35And now, with the help of forensic lip readers,
30:38we can reveal what was really going on
30:40behind the pomp and splendour of this historic day.
30:44This lifts the lid on the actual secret conversations,
30:49on what it is they're actually saying.
30:52And I really want to know these insights.
30:58On arrival, the king was made to wait for William and Catherine
31:02before the service could start.
31:04Now, with the ceremony over,
31:06William and Catherine are making sure they call shotgun
31:09to make sure everything goes to plan.
31:12William and Kate are walking out of Westminster Abbey,
31:15and William says to Kate,
31:17ah, we're going in the carriage before them.
31:20I am not surprised because I wonder if he got a bit of a ticking off
31:23from his father for the delay when he was arriving earlier.
31:28This time, William was taking no chances.
31:31Because Will and Kate delayed the coronation,
31:34they're making sure that the carriage in the front cannot delay any more.
31:42But pole position goes to the king and queen themselves, of course.
31:46Queen Camilla is now safely waiting in her carriage,
31:50with the crown still in place,
31:51and it's not long before the king joins her.
31:55By now, we are several hours into what must be an exhausting day
31:58for both the king and queen.
32:00But much like his mother, duty always comes first.
32:05As Charles gets into the carriage,
32:07he lets out a sigh and then butters,
32:11f*** me, and then very quickly Camilla responds.
32:15Frankly, I don't want to hear that.
32:19This is the royals being as human as you and I.
32:23Honestly, these two should have their own show on television.
32:26I'd watch it.
32:28It's...
32:28Of course, it's uncomfortable.
32:30You're wearing a big crown.
32:32You've got a huge robe that probably weighs about 40kg.
32:35And, you know, you've got to sit
32:37and you can't even adjust yourself properly.
32:39There's no time.
32:40I'm not surprised he said, f*** me, like I would.
32:45He swears.
32:46He swears a lot, Kid Charles, doesn't he?
32:50Because he's the king, we see it as incredibly classy
32:52that he swears right, left and centre.
32:54And there he is again saying, f*** me,
32:57as he gets into the carriage, because it's hard work.
33:01He sits down after effing and jeffing
33:05and obviously feeling very, very worn out,
33:08and Camilla says, I don't want to hear that.
33:15By now, Charles and Camilla had been married for nearly 20 years.
33:21She's the calming influence.
33:23They're soulmates.
33:25I think Camilla seems to be trying to diffuse the mood
33:30and say to Charles, perhaps we should run off somewhere.
33:35Later in the carriage, Camilla says to Charles, don't wallow.
33:39And Charles quickly responds, I don't have to smile.
33:45Charles appears to be grumbling and says,
33:48oh, we have to be happy and have manners, do we?
33:51It appears that Charles is becoming sarcastic
33:55and in their final exchange, Camilla asks Charles,
33:59are you all right?
34:00And Charles quickly replies, no, not really.
34:05We see Camilla, looks like she points to her mouth to smile.
34:10But then we see, very interestingly, Camilla doing what she's doing.
34:14What I call the Elvis sneer, just slightly.
34:17That's often associated with the contempt smile.
34:19She obviously feels in that minute, I think,
34:21that she can pull it together a bit more
34:23and show the smile that he really does not want to do.
34:27I am with the King on this.
34:30There were obviously an element of frustration.
34:32A lot of men at age 75 have already retired, but not he.
34:36The monarchy doesn't retire.
34:38The monarchy goes on until it expires.
34:41Fortunately, Camilla was with him.
34:42And Camilla's able to calm him down.
34:45And she is the calming influence.
34:47Because he won't go OTT in her presence.
34:53This just shows why he chose her.
34:57This just shows why they're married.
34:59This could not be a more married couple.
35:01This exchange is just brilliant.
35:05I just think that they should have, like, a mic on them at all times.
35:09This is pure comedy gold.
35:13With the ceremony over and the newly crowned King Charles and Queen Camilla
35:18returning to Buckingham Palace, attention turns to one of the highlights
35:22of any royal occasion, the balcony.
35:24At the time of the balcony appearance, there were people from the palace railings
35:28all the way back to Admiralty Arch, which is Trafalgar Square, along the Mall,
35:33which is about half a mile long, just jam-packed with people.
35:37And we just loved to do that.
35:39I was waving flags.
35:41I absolutely loved it.
35:44And all eyes were on the King and Queen as they stepped out onto the balcony.
35:50It would have been a daunting day for both of them walking down,
35:54processing onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
35:56Still the crowns on their head would have been a very difficult experience,
36:00but one they carried with aplomb.
36:03Our lip-readers can exclusively reveal that the King and Queen
36:07had a few nerves about keeping the crowns on their heads
36:10while waving to the crowds on the balcony.
36:13We've got Charles and Camilla here on the balcony following the coronation.
36:16The first thing that Charles looks like he's saying is,
36:19I'm not going to get too close.
36:21I don't want my crown to topple over.
36:23Imagine that.
36:25Camilla then turns to the paid boys and says,
36:27quickly, quickly, I don't want it to drop down there.
36:30Move it, move it.
36:32Camilla then exclaims at what must be the crowd in front of him to say,
36:36oh, wow.
36:37Charles then turns to Camilla and says,
36:39I'm terrified of it dropping off my head.
36:41As we were approaching the end of the clip,
36:43Charles says to Camilla,
36:45let's go in and remove these from our heads.
36:51I understand why when they do any movies about princesses,
36:55they show them walking with a book on their head for ages.
36:58And I think it leads up to this moment in a coronation,
37:01when you have to be able to walk with a very, very heavy crown on your head.
37:05And can you imagine the disaster if it had toppled off?
37:09That's all the coronation stories would have been about in the press.
37:11So well done, Camilla.
37:12Tap yourself on the shoulder.
37:14You have to make sure that it stays on your head,
37:18because there are no nails holding it in place.
37:21There are no brackets holding it in place.
37:22It's just sitting on your head.
37:25It's quite funny, actually, seeing them now on the balcony.
37:28She's worried about the crown.
37:30Because if that fell off, goes into the crowd,
37:33yeah, everyone will remember that.
37:36It's almost the concluding part of the coronation for both.
37:39Charles and Camilla here, waving to the crowd, showing off their crowns.
37:42You can see subtle differences here between Charles and Camilla
37:46and how perhaps maybe they've trained for the event
37:48or how prepared they are.
37:50Charles looks quite comfortable, actually,
37:52despite his comments on the crown toppling off.
37:54There's probably some sense of relief now
37:57that they're getting towards the end of the publicised day
38:00and they can go back into their private.
38:02But also, remember, the balcony is a comfortable place for them.
38:05They've been on the balcony many, many times.
38:07So this is part of the familiar to them.
38:10Much easier, because they also know they're almost at the end.
38:14With all the commotion,
38:16the newly crowned king and queen almost forgot what happens
38:19nearly every time they step out onto that balcony.
38:23A fly past.
38:25Charles is talking about perhaps that he wants to go in at this point.
38:30He lets the queen know that he's ready to go back inside.
38:34He's feeling ready to go back in.
38:38The TV moves over to Lewis, who spots that there's something in the sky
38:43and says, look, what's that?
38:45He says, oh, I don't want to miss this.
38:47But he knows that he can't lift his head back
38:50because he's worried about his crown.
38:53But nevertheless, he waits until the fly past has gone over.
38:58And he laughs, he's happy.
39:00And they wave once again.
39:03And he says, I'm done.
39:06Coming up, our lip readers take a closer look at the balcony appearance
39:11and reveal why the king is feeling more comfortable.
39:15He turns to Camilla at that moment
39:17and says the pain is more manageable.
39:20Basically, you're wearing a suitcase on your back
39:22and one on your head.
39:23You are in a lot of pain.
39:26And this just shows how dutiful a king he is.
39:41The royals are the most filmed family in the world.
39:44There have been many iconic moments over the years.
39:47But now we're going to try to find out what they were saying
39:51in those very public but previously inaudible conversations.
39:55These moments are very familiar to all of us.
39:58But the lip readers are going to give us a very different take
40:02and a new insight on what we're watching.
40:08King Charles had, of course, been anticipating this day
40:11for more than 70 years.
40:14The coronation was the moment that Charles had waited for,
40:18his entire life.
40:20Over 70 years, this man had waited
40:22for the one job that he was born to do,
40:26and that is to be king.
40:29At the time of the coronation, in May 2023,
40:34the king was 74 years old.
40:37It would have been a very gruelling day
40:39because he was in specially designed costumes.
40:43a costume, if I can put it that way.
40:44Then had the crown placed on his head.
40:47It weighs over two kilograms.
40:49That's quite heavy to plonk on top of your head.
40:52Charles and Camilla are not young.
40:54Even the fittest person would have trouble
40:57having something like that on their head
40:59for the incredibly long amount of time
41:01that they were wearing them.
41:07It's also well documented that the king suffers with neck and back issues.
41:14He's had a back problem for decades.
41:17I remember the time that I was working for him
41:20that everywhere he went, a cushion would go as well
41:23so he could use it to ease pressure on his back.
41:27It would have really been difficult for him
41:30to have maintained that facade of looking cool, looking regal,
41:34whilst potentially in pain.
41:36The physicality of such an arduous day
41:38would have a draining impact on those much younger than the king.
41:43Now the lip readers are able to exclusively reveal for the first time
41:47how much of a strain the coronation had on the king.
41:54Charles and Camilla have made their way onto the balcony
41:57and they are waving to the crowds
42:00and Charles is saying thank you, thank you, thank you.
42:05He says this repeatedly.
42:06He turns to Camilla at that moment
42:09and says the pain is more manageable.
42:13Wow.
42:14I guess, you know, with his back and neck and everything.
42:18Gosh, he was going through a lot on that day
42:20that we didn't really realise.
42:23However, his smile does still look like he's in pain.
42:26It's not a full-on genuine smile,
42:28but at least now there is more of a relaxation
42:32and we are getting some of a smile.
42:35You're talking all told maybe about three and a half hours
42:38when he was literally on parade
42:41and he would have been suffering the effects of his back
42:46and that would have been excruciating.
42:50Basically, you're wearing a suitcase on your back
42:51and one on your head.
42:53Gosh, that must have been really hard for him.
42:56There is a serious side to the fact
42:58that he had to get through the day.
42:59I think it is an insight into how bad his back problems are
43:03and how much he would have had to endure to get through it.
43:07What came first from his standpoint was duty.
43:11He did his duty.
43:13And that's what was expected from the people.
43:18The royal establishment has been the focus of our attention for centuries.
43:23King Charles III and Queen Camilla
43:25will hope to reign for many more years to come
43:27and our fascination surely won't lessen.
43:30But thanks to our team of forensic lip readers,
43:33we might be able to see and hear them as never before.
43:37There are so many aspects of this day
43:39that I actually can't believe
43:43that the lip readers have managed to reveal to us.
43:48They might be royal family.
43:49They might have been, you know,
43:51born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
43:53But at the end of the day, they're human beings like anybody else.
43:56So it did show that they are humans.
43:58They have thoughts the same as any of us have thoughts.
44:01We didn't know any of this before the lip readers told us
44:04and that's what makes it so special.
44:06We approach the representatives of the Princess Royal
44:09at Buckingham Palace
44:10with the lip reader's interpretation
44:12of her conversation with the Duke of Kent,
44:14where she called Meghan jealous and a scaremonger.
44:19At the time of broadcast, no response has been received.
44:26Next time, there's a lovable rogue.
44:28Then she turns to Louis and say,
44:31were you trying to be naughty?
44:33I think that's why we love him.
44:36A knight in shining armour.
44:38He turned quite sharply to Kate and said,
44:41you're so beautiful.
44:43Ever the gallant, Prince William steps in.
44:46And a royal reckoning.
44:48Andrew, continue.
44:49I've learnt from what I've done,
44:51but before I forget,
44:53I'd like to ask you if you can forgive.
44:59It's a world where men are locked up at night,
45:02but murder continues nonetheless.
