On June 14, 2025, the British Royal Family gathered for Trooping the Colour, a grand ceremonial celebration.
The event included King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine, along with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The family appeared in coordinated outfits on the Buckingham Palace balcony. King Charles III stood out in scarlet military attire adorned with gold details and medals.
Queen Camilla complemented him with understated elegance in a crisp white coatdress and a wide-brimmed hat. Princess Catherine wore a striking teal outfit with a floral fascinator, while Princess Charlotte, in mint green, stood close by. Princes George and Louis matched in navy suits and red ties.
Viral Moment Sparks Online Buzz
A short video clip that quickly spread online showed Queen Camilla stepping onto the balcony slightly ahead of King Charles, a small detail that stirred widespread conversation.
Though the king followed closely behind and joined her side, many viewers criticized the moment, interpreting it as her stepping out of place or seeking the spotlight.
One commenter remarked, “Camilla has no clue — King Charles had to tell her to take 2 steps to the right.” Another said, “She walked in front of him again! No manners.” Others criticized her posture, claiming she looked awkward or restless.
Alongside criticism of her positioning, Camilla’s wardrobe drew mixed reactions. Some users questioned her choice of a white outfit, while others claimed her stylist needed a refresh.
One post read, “We’re tired of the bag dresses,” while another noted, “Wearing white feels weird.”
Lip Reader Decodes Royal Exchange
Adding another layer of intrigue, lip reader Jeremy Freeman analyzed footage from the procession and suggested King Charles made a series of strong remarks.
Reportedly, the king said, “Absolutely crazy, disgrace, absolutely extraordinary,” followed by, “on my way out,” and a cryptic, “That’s the difference between me and him.”
While the meaning of these words remains unclear, speculation pointed to ongoing tensions within the royal family — possibly involving Prince Andrew and recent controversies surrounding the Royal Lodge and financial matters.
Balancing Tradition and Solemnity
Despite the commentary, the ceremony maintained its grandeur and emotional resonance. A moment of silence honored the victims of the Air India disaster, with the royals wearing black armbands in tribute.
As always, the event blended military pageantry with personal reflection, offering a glimpse into both public ceremony and private undercurrents within the monarchy.
