“Oh Wow” — Queen Camilla’s Emotional Whisper to Princess Kate at the Remembrance Service Revealed
Queen Camilla shared a touching and emotional moment with the Princess of Wales during today’s Remembrance Sunday service, according to a professional lip reader.
The Queen, 78, joined Princess Kate on the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, overlooking the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, as King Charles led the nation in honouring the fallen.
King Charles, 76, guided the country into a solemn two-minute silence at 11am during the National Service of Remembrance and laid a wreath in tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives in service to the nation.
Camilla, who missed last year’s ceremony due to a chest infection, made her return to one of the most important events in the royal calendar — a moment that underscored her role as one of the most senior members of the Royal Family.
During the ceremony, lip reader Jacqui Press observed that the Queen appeared visibly moved and uttered a single, heartfelt word to the Princess of Wales.
“Oh wow,” Camilla reportedly said softly to Kate as they watched the powerful scenes unfold below.
Body language expert and communication coach Judi James told The Daily Mail that the two women appeared to share a moment of mutual warmth and support throughout the ceremony.
“There was an exchange of what looked like warm chat between the present and future queens,” James explained. “Camilla’s rather playful smile and side-eye appeared to make Kate beam back down at her.”
As the event continued, the Queen was seen holding up the order of service, occasionally glancing at the Princess with a gentle, reassuring smile — a subtle moment that did not go unnoticed by royal watchers.
Both women looked elegant and deeply respectful in black ensembles befitting the solemn occasion.
Queen Camilla was thought to be wearing a black dress by one of her favourite designers, Fiona Clare, paired with a wide-brimmed hat trimmed with fur. She accessorised with her signature four-strand pearl necklace with a diamond clasp, estimated to be worth around £50,000 — a piece she has worn on several significant occasions, including her 14th wedding anniversary, the State Opening of Parliament, and the 2018 Commonwealth Day service.
She completed the look with matching pearl earrings, a diamond crown brooch, and three red poppies pinned to her coat to honour fallen soldiers.
The Princess of Wales opted for a high-collared black ‘Evie’ coat by Catherine Walker London, complemented by a black lace scarf and a £1,295 Belvedere percher hat from Lock Hatters.
In a touching tribute to her late mother-in-law, Kate wore Princess Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings, along with her grandfather Peter Middleton’s gold winged RAF brooch placed beside a single fabric poppy. Peter Middleton, a former WWII fighter pilot, had his own connection to the Royal Family — having once flown with Prince Philip on a 1966 journey from South America to Heathrow.
As the National Anthem played and wreaths were laid, both women appeared visibly moved by the service, sharing solemn glances as they watched King Charles and senior politicians pay their respects.
The brief but heartfelt exchange between Queen Camilla and Princess Kate stood out as one of the most tender moments of the day — a glimpse of solidarity and mutual respect between the present and future queens.
