Summary
- Royal family members are aware of lip-reading trends.
- Experts analyze private royal conversations for documentaries.
- Past warnings advised royals against saying anything 'silly'.
Members of the royal family are reportedly concerned about the increasing use of lip-reading to analyze their private conversations. This trend, which some experts engage in with varying degrees of accuracy, has been acknowledged by royal sources as an unfortunate development impacting personal privacy. The issue gained recent attention with a documentary analyzing interactions between Prince William and ex-Prince Andrew.
Sources indicate that the royal household has been aware of this lip-reading phenomenon for years. A former press secretary mentioned that such analysis can sometimes produce outlandish claims, and household members might not recall specific statements due to frequent public engagements. Past advice to royals cautioned against making any indiscreet remarks in public.
The skill of lip-reading is not uncommon, and instances of private royal exchanges being captured and analyzed have occurred. One notable example involved a former press secretary recounting an observation during Prince William and Catherine's wedding, where the Duchess reportedly asked her husband if he was happy.
