What Prince William said to Prince Harry – according to a lip-reader

On Thursday, Prince William and Prince Harry reunited after 18 months apart to unveil a statue of their mother, Princess Diana of Wales, surrounded by children on what would have been her 60th birthday at Kensington Palace.

A lip-reader has now claimed to see William mouth these words to Harry: "It's important to unveil it right."

The statue was created by Ian Rank-Broadly and placed in the Sunken Gardens, which their mother loved, adorned with 4,000 of her favourite flowers and other vegetation.

According to Daily Mail, Jeremy Freeman, an expert lip-reader, noticed that the brothers took a different approach to how to unveil their mother's statue after receiving advice on how to properly do so, with one man telling them: "As you pull it, it'll slide over and drop, okay?"

Although Harry said that everything would be fine, William reportedly said: "I didn't want anything to go wrong; it's important we unveil it right."

Soon after being guided to the next steps, William showed how he believed the covering should be pulled, to which Harry allegedly said, "Let's just yank it!"

The brothers, who have been divided on many issues amid Harry's decision to leave England, were spotted having conversations on the Kensington Palace grounds before the statue was revealed.

Walking down the steps before the reveal, William reportedly said,:"Oh my, this is amazing."

Harry had similar sentiments, saying: "This is spectacular."
