Princess Kate keeps Prince Louis in line, lip reader reveals
As the royal family gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the grand finale of Trooping the Colour, all eyes were on the youngest royal, Prince Louis, and his famously cheeky behaviour.
But this year, during King Charles' official birthday celebration, the young prince remained composed and well-behaved, thanks in part to a timely reminder from his mother.
While Prince Louis was mostly kept in line by his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Princess Kate reportedly had to give one simple but firm instruction as the national anthem began, according to the Mirror.
Professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman observed that after the Red Arrows' aerial display, Princess Kate turned to her children and quietly said, 'National anthem. Louis, stand.'
Prince Louis quickly straightened up and focused as the anthem began — a moment that showed both the young royal's growing maturity and his mother's steady guidance.
Elsewhere on the balcony, King Charles and Prince William were seen exchanging reflections on the day's events.
Mr Freeman claims that Prince William turned to his father and said, 'Oh my word, what a day,' to which the King responded, 'Great theatre.'
In another candid exchange, King Charles pointed to one of the aircraft soaring overhead and asked, 'What is that?'
Prince William guessed, 'Errr, is that Poseidon?' before Prince George confidently confirmed, 'It's a Poseidon, yeah.'
The royal family later shared highlights from the event across their social media platforms.
In a video posted by the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William was seen riding on horseback in full military dress, while Prince Kate and the children travelled by carriage down the Mall.
King Charles and Queen Camilla also shared a behind-the-scenes video capturing the family's procession, the RAF flypast, and a charming moment of the King feeding a carriage horse.
In the caption, the King and Queen expressed their gratitude to the military personnel who helped make the event 'truly triumphant.'

Irwin says Prince William 'truly cares' about nature
Conservationist Robert Irwin can see that Prince William "truly cares" about the environment. The 21-year-old son of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin recently teamed up with the heir to the British throne after he was was named a Global Ambassador for the Prince of Wales' Earthshot Prize. Ahead of the two joining forces again at the London Climate Action Week, Irwin said the royal is clearly dedicated to "putting a spotlight" on the issue. He told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I love being around passionate people, it inspires me. The prince is just that - passionate, curious and thoughtful. I've been fortunate enough to share many great discussions about the things we love about the natural world. And it's clear that he has a profound love for wildlife and wild places. "He knows that he can put a spotlight on people making a real difference. He takes this responsibility very seriously, and he has a great ability to direct attention to where it needs to be. He is very compassionate and works hard to make sure that his conservation efforts benefit people as much as the environment. "I am always impressed by his knowledge and dedication and in the conversations I have had with him, I often learn something new. Most importantly though, he truly cares about a healthy planet for our future generations." He said: "I have the privilege of carrying on a conservation legacy that my dad and my family created, and that is something very important to me. It makes me feel incredibly excited and hopeful when I get to join forces with like-minded causes dedicated to making the world a better place. To be part of an initiative that shares the values of our own charity efforts through Wildlife Warriors is a great honour."

Napoleon's iconic bicorne hat up for sale in Paris
Over 100 relics of the man who shaped empires, broke hearts and spawned centuries of fascination — are on display in Paris ahead of what experts call one of the most important Napoleonic auctions ever staged. Two centuries after his downfall, Napoleon remains both revered and controversial in France. Polls have shown that many admire his vision and achievements, while others condemn his wars and authoritarian rule. Nearly all agree his legacy still shapes the nation. "These are not just museum pieces. They're fragments of a life that changed history," said Louis-Xavier Joseph from Sotheby's who helped assemble the trove. "You can literally hold a piece of Napoleon's world in your hand." The auction — aiming to make in excess of 7 million euros ($A12 million) — is a biography in objects. The centrepiece is Napoleon's iconic bicorne hat, the black felt chapeau he wore in battle — with wings parallel to his shoulders — so soldiers and enemies could spot him instantly through the gunpowder haze. The hat is estimated to sell for at least over half a million dollars. It also includes the red portfolio that once contained Napoleon's divorce decree from Josephine, the religious marriage certificate that formalised their love and a dressing table designed for the empress. Her famed mirror reflects the ambition and tragedy of their alliance. "Napoleon was a great lover; his letters that he wrote are full of fervor, of love, of passion," Joseph said. "It was also a man who paid attention to his image. Maybe one of the first to be so careful of his image, both public and private." A 2023 biopic grossed over $220 million worldwide and reanimated Napoleon's myth for a TikTok generation hungry for stories of ambition, downfall and doomed romance. The auction preview is open to the public, with the auction set for June 25. The exhibition is a spectacle crafted by celebrity designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, famed for dressing Lady Gaga and Pope John Paul II. He's filled the show with fog, hypnotic music and immersive rooms. One is inspired by the camouflage colours of Fontainebleau. Another is anchored by Napoleon's legendary folding bed.
