Kate Middleton is apparently digging her husband’s
On Remembrance Sunday, an event to honor fallen soldiers, a lip reader believes she caught the Princess of Wales making a cheeky comment about Prince William’s beard.
On the Cenotaph balcony, Middleton was seen chatting with Sophie Wessex, the Duchess of Edinburgh, before the two-minute silence led by King Charles III at the ceremony.
According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, who spoke to The Sun, Wessex asked Middleton, “You like a beard?” with the latter apparently responding, “I find it quite rousing.”
“You’re all better now,” Wessex added, allegedly referring to the royal’s cancer treatment, which she recently finished. Apparently, they both chuckled at the comment.
A separate lip reader, Kayleigh Harris, thinks the conversation went another way.
Also speaking to The Sun, Harris insists Middleton actually said that the beard — which William has sported on and off since August, to the delight of royal fans — is “never quite rounded” rather than rousing.
The lip reader claims the duchess noted that it’s “a nice beard” and “it’s a lot better now.”
Middleton’s nine-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte, on the other hand, wasn’t exactly pleased when her father debuted his stubble earlier this year.

“Well, Charlotte didn’t like it the first time,” Prince William told People during his recent trip to Cape Town, South Africa. “I got floods of tears, the first one I got tears, so I had to shave it off.”
“Then I grew it back. I thought, hang on a second, and I convinced her it was going to be okay,” he added.
At the event on Sunday, the Princess of Wales stunned in a Catherine Walker coat dress, a Juliette Botterill hat and a black Mulberry clutch.
She donned pearl and diamond drop Bahrain earrings, which were once Queen Elizabeth II’s.
In addition to this past weekend, Middleton wore the meaningful jewelry for Remembrance Sunday services in 2016 and 2019, as well as the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in 2021.
Meanwhile, Prince William looked sharp in a royal blue suit and a white button-down.
According to the BBC, at this year’s ceremony, over 10,000 men and women marched past the Cenotaph in central London.
This the fourteenth consecutive year Middleton has attended the service.
The princess is slowly returning to her royal duties following her cancer treatment.
