A lip reader has shared the touching six-word exchange Prince Louis had with Kate Middleton during a recent family outing.
On December 6, the Princess of Wales hosted her fourth annual Together at Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey in London. Attending alongside her husband Prince William, Kate was joined by their three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
The event, a collaboration between The Royal Foundation and BBC Studios Events Productions, featured performances by the Westminster Abbey Choir, Paloma Faith, Gregory Porter, JP Cooper, and Olivia Dean. Blending traditional and modern elements, the concert aimed to resonate with people of all faiths and backgrounds.
Ahead of the service, Kate, a mother of three, shared her thoughts on the meaning of Christmas.
“Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year,” she said. “It is a time for presents, tinsel, and mince pies, but it’s also a time to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all. It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness, and forgiveness—so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about.”
She continued: “The Christmas story encourages us to consider the experiences and feelings of others. It also reflects our own vulnerabilities and reminds us of the importance of giving and receiving empathy, as well as just how much we need each other in spite of our differences.”
The concert aired on ITV on Christmas Eve, and a clip of Kate and Prince Louis shared on social media caught public attention. In the footage, Kate smiles down at Louis, who reportedly tells her, “We’re looking out for each other,” according to lip reader Nicola Hickling.
The Together at Christmas concert marked Kate’s first major return to royal duties after a challenging year. Earlier in 2023, she revealed her diagnosis with cancer, which led to months of chemotherapy.
