Duchess Sophie's blunt 4-word response to 'impatient' Princess Charlotte

Princess Charlotte was spotted getting a little “impatient” at Trooping the Colour last year, where members of the Royal Family gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony to celebrate the monarch’s official birthday.

Charlotte and her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis were seen with their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla and their great aunt and uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

While watching the service at Horse Guards Parade Charlotte was seen chatting with Duchess Sophie, and a lip-reading expert has revealed exactly what was being said.

Jeremy Freeman explained later to the Daily Star that at one point the young royal asked her great aunt: “Sophie how long will it be?”

The Duchess is said to have replied: “I think it’s now”.

For Trooping the Colour last year Charlotte wore a red and white sailor’s dress, paired with her Papouelli “Siena” Shoes in Cream Leather which cost £89.

Sophie meanwhile donned her Beulah London Yahvi Midi dress teamed with an extravagant hat typical of royal occasions.

Sadly for the royals the balcony may look a little lighter at Trooping this year, which will be held on June 15, if it even goes ahead at all.
