Queen Camilla's telling comment about coronation outfit uncovered by lip reader

As we recover from the coronation weekend, fans will be going back to look at how the royals dressed up for the day - and Queen Camilla's outfit was a stand-out.

The coat-like dress in ivory, silver and gold was created by her long-time designer pal Bruce Oldfield, reports the Mirror.

The dress was embroidered with garlands of British wildflowers, among many other personal touches. Fans noticed that Camilla had the names of her children, Tom and Laura, etched into the dress alongside her grandchildren's names, Gus, Freddy, Louis, Eliza and Lola.

She also had two dogs, gold terrier puppies, sewn in at the bottom to represent her rescue pets, Beth and Bluebell. As well as this, the dress was not only stunning but practical, as a lip reader uncovered a six-word comment quipped by the Queen.

As she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside her husband, she was seen chatting to Charles as the rain poured down.

According to lip reader Elisabeth Taunton, the Queen told Charles: "I'm pleased that I'm warm enough" - seemingly confirming her outfit was practical as well as stylish.

Coronation festivities came to a close on Monday night when the King and Queen pledged to rededicate their lives to the UK. Charles dubbed the support the country had given throughout the historic ceremony as "the greatest possible coronation gift".

In his special coronation message, Charles said: "We thank you, each and everyone."

Official portraits marking the coronation of Charles III and Queen Camilla were then released to end the monarchy's landmark ceremony.

Among them, the King was captured wearing the Imperial State Crown, holding the Orb and Sceptre with Cross, and dressed in his regal purple tunic and Robe of Estate, seated on a Throne Chair in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.

Camilla was pictured alongside the King, and also in a solo portrait, wearing Queen Mary’s Crown, with the train of her lengthy embroidered Robe of Estate spread in front of her.
