On September 19, 2022, Princess Charlotte and Prince George attended the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral and committal service, a somber occasion that united the entire Royal Family. During the service, renowned lip reader Jeremy Freeman captured a notable moment where Queen Camilla reprimanded Princess Charlotte and issued a brief two-word order to Princess Kate.
As the royal family gathered to bid a final farewell to Her Majesty, the young royals, including Princess Charlotte and Prince George, followed behind King Charles and the senior members. At one point, Prince George allegedly tried to pinch his sister, causing Princess Charlotte to turn around and exclaim loudly, which heightened the tension.
Megan Markle, witnessing the scene, appeared to sympathize with Princess Charlotte by offering her a small, perceptive grin. According to Freeman’s observations, Queen Camilla seemed displeased with the commotion and firmly instructed Catherine, the Princess of Wales, with a stern "take her."
Further insights from Freeman revealed additional instances where Princess Charlotte appeared to guide her brother, such as instructing him to bow correctly. Prince George, dressed in a dapper suit and tie, seemed to heed his sister's advice on royal etiquette. A fan noted on Twitter that during the live TV broadcast, it looked as though Prince George and Princess Charlotte were having a small disagreement, prompting questions from spectators about what Charlotte had said when she turned around.
In a different gesture of kindness, Queen Camilla consoled Princess Charlotte when the young royal stumbled while attempting a curtsy to King Charles at the coronation concert in May of the previous year. As the family performed their customary bows and curtsies, Charlotte, following her mother's lead, wobbled slightly after bowing to the King. Queen Camilla, noticing the moment, gently patted her step-granddaughter on the shoulder as she passed by, offering comfort despite missing the actual curtsy.
