TVTranscript
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.
00:36Andrew is saying, 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 scouring 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.
01:00Megan 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 nineties,
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, but they had to be given time.
03:07After 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. It has been a long journey for her, but I think that she makes King Charles a
04:00better 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. The 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,
04:42because 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 have 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.
05:26And 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. This is your crowning. This 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.
06:29Our first in-depth look at these previously inaudible words reveal the king was keen to get things right for
06:37his 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 he 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.
07:02The 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.
07:15So 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.
07:44There 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.
08:00We shouldn't be surprised.
08:03I love that.
08:04I absolutely love that.
08:06That is so human.
08:08That is so real.
08:09That is so what you, I kind of hoped he would say things like that.
08:13The fact that you would express that, you know, to the vicar and say, yeah, I'm nervous.
08:19You know, really, really hope this goes okay.
08:21And then not help swearing.
08:23I bloody hope so.
08:24I love that.
08:25He's human.
08:26It's made me like him even more.
08:3274 years and 173 days after Charles was born heir to the throne, it was time for him to be
08:39crowned.
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, the first big television event in 1953.
08:54But 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 with the knowledge that they will probably see another one
09:05in their lifetime.
09:05Two billion people globally tuned in as the cameras captured Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby,
09:13carefully placed the St Edward's crown, the official coronation crown of the United Kingdom, on King Charles III's head.
09:21It is a 22-carat gold masterpiece, weighing over two kilograms, and 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, cries of God save the king rang out in Westminster Abbey and around the four
10:02corners of the United Kingdom.
10:04When it's your coronation, you are the standout personality that is going to be officially crowned and anointed in the
10:14eyes of God.
10:14People remember the coronation for what it is, not because of the whole theatre and the tens of thousands of
10:21cheering 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, the cameras are still following the royals' every move.
10:46They can't get away from the cameras, and everybody with a mobile phone is a potential paparazzi.
10:53And with all these camera angles to choose from, attention now turns to Camilla.
10:59The day came when she would be crowned as well.
11:02I can't think of many events, actually, where people sit down and congregate together to 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 captured the moment she was crowned from every angle.
11:21She was bestowed with the Queen Mary crown, originally crafted for the 1911 coronation of Mary of Tech.
11:28Ladies had their hair of a certain style, and 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, was designed with 2,200 diamonds, and serves as a tribute
11:48to Queen Elizabeth II, with the diamonds previously worn as brooches by the late monarch.
11:55Our lip readers can give us an insight into what King Charles' beloved Queen Consort is saying as she exits
12:02Westminster Abbey.
12:03The first thing she appears to say is, oh, this crown is a bit of a struggle.
12:07She then turns to the page bar and says, come on, move it, we need to try and make it
12:12to the carriage.
12:14And again, she's struggling a little bit with the weight of the crown.
12:17She then says, I did very well.
12:20She'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.
12:26You just have to.
12:27Firstly, her shoulders are up like this.
12:30I think she's trying to hope that that might help her carry the weight of the crown on it, and
12:35that she might balance it properly.
12:37And yes, congrats yourself.
12:38No one else will.
12:39Genuinely.
12:40I don't think people realise how hard it must be to have to go and do all this stuff with
12:46King Charles, all eyes on you.
12:48They say that self-praise is no praise at all.
12:50But actually, I think Queen Camilla saying to yourself, I think I did very well.
12:56I think you did do very well.
12:58She did extremely well, and she needs a great big pat on the back and even probably a bunch of
13:02roses to say thank you.
13:05In late Queen practice, the Buckingham Palace with the crown, wearing the crown and walking with it.
13:11You've got to be perfect plus one.
13:15And they were both perfect plus one.
13:18Charles and Camilla may be the main attraction, but best supporting act goes to the forever dependable William and Catherine
13:25and their children, 9-year-old George, 8-year-old Charlotte and 5-year-old Louis, who are experiencing the
13:33biggest royal events 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, OK, wave now, wave to everyone.
13:44We're on TV, so be on your best behaviour, OK?
13:48William continues by saying, everyone seems to be having a jolly time, celebrate it with us.
13:52The last thing that William and Kate say to the children in this clip is, oh, look at the horses.
13:56This is a really nice interaction to watch it as a reader.
14:00I 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. Everyone'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.
14:30But 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.
14:43Oh, that's actually really sweet.
14:45There 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.
15:01You know, getting 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.
15:09Soak up the atmosphere because 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.
15:36How are you coming?
15:37I 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 laugh 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, 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.
16:30And can reveal it wasn't all plain sailing.
16:36So Charles and Camilla are riding in the carriage together.
16:41And they're going, heading towards the ceremony.
16:44He seems like he detached from everything.
16:48And then as he turns back, he mutters, damn 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.
17:05Oh, **** him.
17:10Camilla's reply is obscured.
17:13And then at that moment, Charles abruptly says, wrong.
17:21And you know it. How can you?
17:32His hand goes up, which is a sign of annoyance.
17:34It's quite a sharp gesture.
17:36And often does accompany a swear word when we're irritated and annoyed.
17:40I wouldn't be too fussed about expletives.
17:43Charles's father, Duke of Edinburgh, was pretty good on those.
17:46You know, they're human after all.
17:48Camilla goes on to say, that I do know.
17:52It's spoiled the whole day.
17:54And Charles responds, yes, I know, it'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?
18:18A lot of that, I wouldn't say it overshadowed the coronation,
18:21but it was certainly a subtle...
18:27In January of 2023, four 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.
18:51There 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.
19:06In 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,
19:21I spent five hours with Dad in his office
19:25and not a friendly text from either.
19:29He's clearly upset about it and you can see it on his face
19:32when 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 when you look at the events around the coronation.
19:58It could explain King Charles's 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 just 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 of the picture?
20:34And Harry didn't seem to quite catch it
20:37or he's plain dumb, but he just replied with an A.
20:41A few seconds later, Harry comments 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.
20:50So out of the picture, probably very much so.
20:52I haven't been too annoying, so I wonder what he did that was a little bit annoying.
20:57Probably he turned up late as well, who knows?
21:00He's just a naughty boy, isn't he?
21:02He just isn't.
21:03And I love that.
21:04I love that about him.
21:05How kind of you, Harry, to not be so annoying towards him.
21:10Oh, how nice of you to not ignore your father on 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, Eugenie leans over to speak to Harry,
21:28asking him, have you spoken to Catherine and William about 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.
21:39Eugenie makes the ultimate mistake.
21:43Never, ever ask Harry about the problems that 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, as soon as Harry gets the chance to give a diatribe about his family,
21:58he does.
22:00I think he's very concerned about the situation with his brother and wife, Kate.
22:07And seeing them in Westminster must have been kind of nerve-wracking, especially when he's on his own.
22:14I do see from both points of view.
22:16From William's point of view, he must be thinking, well, you're tearing the family apart.
22:20So there are two sides to everything, and it must be so incredibly hurtful.
22:28What the lip readers believe they have found are the family tensions bubbling to the surface on this joyful occasion.
22:35Harry then says, I thought he was angry, but yesterday I got a good night's sleep.
22:41It isn't easy, you know.
22:44He's shunned by the family, which, what did he expect, having rubbished them for over five years.
22:51So, no, it probably isn't easy for Harry.
22:56Harry goes on to talk about how he thought someone was angry.
23:01I mean, would this be his father?
23:03If we look at the other insights earlier of 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 after all of that.
23:17We're all relieved, Harry.
23:21King Charles has remained dignified throughout, maintaining a firm stance,
23:26whilst keeping the door open for a personal and private reconciliation.
23:31But he's got more important things on his mind than his wayward son,
23:35and that's getting the coronation right.
23:37Before the ceremony even began, there was an issue,
23:40because the horses pulling his carriage travelled faster than expected.
23:46On 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 forced to wait in the carriage
24:09outside Westminster Abbey, his mind returns to Harry.
24:13And our lip-readers believe that they have uncovered the heartache
24:17Harry is causing his father.
24:23You can see, at this moment, he 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,
24:56and Charles has always been hurt by Harry's antics.
25:01Charles 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 that 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, like he should be,
25:32and that she's taking them away.
25:35But personally, I think if he wanted to be, he'd be here.
25:38Just probably wants to go and just get away from it all.
25:41What's also really amazing is that Camilla is sat there and she has heard it all before.
25:49We don't see much of her, but what we can see is that she is just saying nothing.
25:55She knows just not to speak up, not to say a word, just let him get on with it.
26:05Despite the family rift, Harry'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 was a new phenomena to the people of the
26:19UK.
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 about whether Meghan would be in attendance.
26:38In the end, she wasn't, citing a need to be at home with the children.
26:43And maybe Meghan felt justified in staying at home thousands 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 was absolutely against her.
26:56We have this nonsense excuse she had to stay behind and look after the children.
26:59I mean, I think they can afford childcare.
27:01By all accounts, Meghan didn't see eye to eye with many of her in-laws.
27:05But while she was out of sight, was she out of mind for the royals?
27:10Our lip readers believe she was a hot topic of conversation, even though she was well out of the way.
27:18Princess Anne and Edward, Duke of Kent, are sitting next to one another in Westminster Abbey.
27:26And I believe that the conversation is all about the current affairs that are happening within the royal family.
27:33And I believe that Edward says they 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.
27:49Meghan has always been jealous, jealous of other members of the family.
27:53So I can understand how the family react to Meghan.
28:00There's no love lost between them, 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, but it's the most effective way for removing the unwanted.
28:22And then Anne say, we 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 within earshot of each other.
28:45It's just, it's unbelievable to me.
28:47Talking about when they split up, we won't know until when they split up.
28:51So it's like, they 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?
29:06You're so on the nose.
29:09And so, I 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 and how it is spoken about in that way.
29:26These are secret conversations, well, that aren't so secret,
29:31because they're clearly happy to have them under 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, and willing to be in the moment.
29:52They're bringing history to life before them.
29:55And heavy the head that wears the crown.
29:57Charles looks like he's saying, I don't want my crown to topple over.
30:02Imagine 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 who are going through everything in the public eye.
30:35And now, with the help of forensic lip readers, we 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, on 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 before the service could start.
31:04Now, with the ceremony over, William 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.
31:16And William says to Kate, ah, 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 from his father for
31:25the delay
31:26when he was arriving earlier. This time, William was taking no chances.
31:31Because Will and Kate delayed the coronation, they're making sure that the carriage in the front
31:36cannot delay any more.
31:42But pole position goes to the king and queen themselves, of course.
31:47Queen Camilla is now safely waiting in her carriage, with the crown still in place.
31:52And it's not long before the king joins her.
31:55By now, we are several hours into what must be an exhausting day for both the king and queen.
32:00But much like his mother, duty always comes first.
32:05As Charles gets into the carriage, he lets out a sigh and then butters,
32:11F*** me. And then very quickly Camilla responds,
32:16Frankly, 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. I'd watch it.
32:28It's...
32:29Of course it's uncomfortable. You'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 and 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. He swears a lot, King Charles, doesn't he?
32:50Because he's the king, we see it as incredibly classy that he swears right, left and centre.
32:54And there he is again saying F*** me as he gets into the carriage because it's hard work.
33:02He sits down after F***ing and J***ing and 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. They're soul mates.
33:25I think Camilla seems to be trying to diffuse the mood and say to Charles,
33:32perhaps 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, oh, 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, are you all right?
34:00And Charles quickly replies, no, not really.
34:05We see Camilla, looks like she points to her mouth to smile.
34:11But then we see very interestingly, Camilla doing what 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, that 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. The monarchy goes on until it expires.
34:41Fortunately, Camilla was with him and Camilla's able to calm him down.
34:45And she is the calming influence because he won't go OTT in her presence.
34:53This just shows why he chose her. This just shows why they're married.
34:59This could not be a more married couple. This 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.
35:25At 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,
35:32along the Mall, which is about half a mile long, just jam-packed with people.
35:37And we just loved to do that.
35:40I was waving flags. I 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 had a few nerves
36:08about keeping the crowns on their heads while 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. I don't want my crown to topple over. Imagine that.
36:25Camilla then turns to the paid boys and says,
36:27quickly, quickly, I don't want it to drop down there. Move 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, Charles 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. Tap 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.
37:29She'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 a 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 or how prepared they are.
37:50Charles looks quite comfortable actually, despite his comments on the crown toppling off.
37:54There's probably some sense of relief now that 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, the 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 and says,
38:44Look, what's that?
38:45He says, Oh, I don't want to miss this.
38:48But he knows that he can't lift his head back because he's worried about his crown.
38:53But nevertheless, he waits until the fly past has gone over.
38:57And 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 and says the pain is more manageable.
39:21Basically, you're wearing a suitcase on your back and one on your head.
39:24You are in a lot of pain.
39:25And 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, but now we're going to try to find out what they
39:50were saying in those very public, but previously inaudible conversations.
39:55These moments are very familiar to all of us, but the lip readers are going to give us a very
40:01different take and a new insight on what we're watching.
40:08King Charles had, of course, been anticipating this day for more than 70 years.
40:14The coronation was the moment that Charles had waited for his entire life.
40:20Over 70 years, this man had waited for the one job that he was born to do, and that is
40:27to be King.
40:30At the time of the coronation, in May 2023, the King was 74 years old.
40:37It would have been a very grueling day because he was in a specially designed costume, if I can put
40:44it that way.
40:44Then had the crown placed on his head, 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 having something like that on their head for the incredibly long amount of
41:01time that 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, that 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 to have maintained that facade of looking cool, looking regal, while potentially
41:34in pain.
41:36The physicality of such an arduous day would have a draining impact on those much younger than the King.
41:42Now the lip readers are able to exclusively reveal for the first time how much of a strain the coronation
41:49had on the King.
41:54Charles and Camilla have made their way onto the balcony and they are waving to the crowds and Charles is
42:01saying thank you, thank you, thank you.
42:05He says this repeatedly.
42:06He turns to Camilla at that moment and says the pain is more manageable.
42:13Wow.
42:15I guess, you know, with his back and neck and everything.
42:18Gosh, he was going through a lot on that day that we didn't really realise.
42:23However, his smile does still look like he's in pain. It's not a full on genuine smile, but at least
42:29now there is more of a relaxation and we are getting some of a smile.
42:35You're talking all told maybe about three and a half hours when he was literally on parade and he would
42:42have been suffering the effects of his back and that would have been excruciating.
42:50Basically, you're wearing a suitcase on your back and one on your head. Gosh, that must have been really hard
42:54for him.
42:56There is a serious side to the fact that he had to get through the day. I think it is
43:00an insight into how bad his back problems are and how much he would have had to endure to get
43:06through it.
43:06What came first from his standpoint was duty. He did his duty. And that's what was expected from the people.
43:18The royal establishment has been the focus of our attention for centuries.
43:23King Charles the third and Queen Camilla will hope to reign for many more years to come and our fascination
43:29surely won't lessen.
43:30But thanks to our team of forensic lip readers, we might be able to see and hear them as never
43:36before.
43:37There are so many aspects of this day that I actually can't believe that the lip readers have managed to
43:45reveal to us.
43:48They might be royal family. They might be born 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. They have thoughts the same as any of us have thoughts.
44:01We didn't know any of this before the lip readers told us. And that's what makes it so special.
44:06We approach the representatives of the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace with the lip readers interpretation of her conversation with
44:13the Duke of Kent,
44:14where she called Meghan jealous and a scaremonger.
44:20At the time of broadcast, no response has been received.
44:26Next time, there's a lovable rogue.
44:28Let's turn to Louis and say, were 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, you'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.
44:52But before I forget, I'd like to ask you if you can forgive.
44:59It's a world where men are locked up at night, but murder continues nonetheless.
