King Charles' brutal outburst revealed by lip reader after he lost his temper at VE Day service
Members of the royal family gathered at Westminster Abbey on Thursday to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
King Charles was joined by the likes of the Prince and Princess of Wales who stood watching from the royal box, Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
And while the day's events mostly went swimmingly, a lip reader has shared their insights over the moment it appeared at one point as if Charles lost his temper.
Expert lip reader Jeremy Freeman was able to pick up on one particular exchange between Charles and the Queen Consort.

According to Jeremy, Charles uttered his frustration with a lack of 'introductions' made when meeting and shaking hands with veterans.
"Unbelievable, where are my introductions?" he reportedly said, the lip reader told the Scottish Daily Express.
He then turned his head in as a royal officer came rushing to his side before ordering: "Where, where are you?"
A man then appeared by his side as Charles continued to shake hands with the veterans.
During the ceremony, the 76-year-old head of the monarchy laid a wreath at the black marble Grave of the Unknown Warrior as a tribute to those who lost their lives in WWII.
His message was: "We will never forget."
William added: "For those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War. We will remember them."
Earlier this week, Charles and Camilla's latest royal portraits were unveiled at the National Gallery and, let's just say, there were some very mixed responses.
Marking the pair's coronation in 2023, Charles' portrait was painted by Peter Kuhfeld while Camilla, 77, on the other hand, was painted by artist Paul Benny.
The paintings are both full-length portraits, with the King standing in the throne room at St James’ Palace, while the Queen Consort is in the garden room of the couple’s London home, Clarence House.
Charles undertook two of his five sittings for the painting at the State Apartments of St. James’ Palace, with its Throne Room being used for the backdrop of the portrait. Other sittings took place at Windsor Castle.
Following 'established convention', his includes the Imperial State Crown, placed on a table to one side.
His Majesty wears his Robe of State, worn to enter the Abbey and for the first part of The Coronation service as well as naval uniform (Number 1 Ceremonial Day Dress) with medals and decorations.
