According to Nicola Hickling, a lip-reading expert, a brief but tense exchange unfolded on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the RAF flyover, as per Daily Mail.

Hickling observed that Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared to engage in a disagreement, "Can you accept that? You win," William said to his wife. However, he didn't end their conversation there, adding, "Let me tell you I'm wrong." 

Kate seemed to have more to say but refrained. Instead, she curtly replied, "Never mind." 

The incident, viewed by millions, has fueled speculation about the couple's relationship dynamics.



 

"This was a split second glance. Other than that, they barely acknowledged each other," one observer tweeted.



 

Another user wrote, "They clearly couldn't even stand to look at each other longer than it took to give a fake smile for this."

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made a poignant appearance at Trooping the Colour over the weekend, marking her first public outing since revealing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, as reported by People.

Despite her presence at this celebrated event alongside her family, Kate Middleton's outing does not indicate a full resumption of her royal duties amid ongoing cancer treatment.

In a heartfelt letter shared on June 14, she expressed her intention to participate in a few public engagements over the summer while underscoring the importance of prioritizing her health and well-being during this challenging time.

The Princess of Wales emphasized in her letter the necessity of patience and listening to her body as she continues with chemotherapy.

Behind closed doors, Kate Middleton has begun working remotely and engaging with her teams from her Windsor residence, alongside Prince William and their children.
