Princess Kate shares panicked Coronation moment as she 'loses' Prince George

A lip reader has uncovered the moment where Princess Kate and the Duchess of Edinburgh were feeling panicked, wondering "where's George?".

Last weekend, King Charles III was officially crowned as the new monarch in a historic ceremony, reports the Mirror.

After the coronation, King Charles joined his wife Queen Camilla and the rest of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to wave to the fans below.

However, there was a moment of panic and confusion involving Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Princess of Wales.

When on the balcony, one lip reader has claimed that Sophie allegedly realised one of the younger royals was missing.

She allegedly said to Kate: "There's a kid missing … where’s George?" The lip reader then said that the princess replied "yeah" before nodding and laughing.

When the Duchess asked the question, Prince George wasn't with his parents or his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The Wales clan stood to the King’s right, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their children. However, George was out of eyeshot to the King's left, next to the rest of the pages.

The pages played an important part in the coronation, assisting the King and Camilla. Each page was selected from a small group of youngsters, who were either in the royal family, relatives, or close friends to the family.

The King had George, the Prince of Wales, Nicholas Barclay, grandson of Sarah Troughton, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, son of the Marquess of Cholmondeley, and Ralph Tollemache, grandson of Lord Timothy John Edward Tollemache as his pages.

Camilla's pages included her three grandsons, twin boys Gus and Louis, and 13-year-old Freddy, and her great-nephew, Arthur Elliot.

The King’s pages carried the monarch’s train as he exited Westminster Abbey following the ceremony.
