A lip-reader has revealed what Prince William supposedly said to Donald Trump during their rare meeting.
Trump met with the Prince of Wales over the weekend (7 December) at the British Embassy in Paris after attending the reopening ceremony of the Notre-Dame Cathedral which was which was devastated by a fire in 2019.
The president-elect - who will be the first convicted felon to serve in the presidential role - has since discussed his meeting with the royal family member, stating that he asked him about his father King Charles and wife Kate Middleton's health amid their cancer diagnoses.

After shaking hands at the ceremony, the pair also met afterwards, with Donald describing William as a 'good man' doing a 'fantastic job'.
Other world leaders at the ceremony included French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and outgoing US First Lady Dr Jill Biden, who was representing President Joe Biden.
William, who was representing his father Charles as he continues his role as a global statesman, was expected to discuss the importance of the UK's 'special relationship' with the US with both Donald and the First Lady during their respective meetings.
"I had a great talk with the prince," Donald told the New York Post. "And I asked him about his wife and he said she's doing well.
"And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad."
The 78-year-old added: "We had a great talk for half an hour, a little more than half an hour.
"We had a great, great talk."
Speaking of the heir to the throne, Donald continued: "He’s a good-looking guy. He looked really very handsome last night.
"Some people look better in person. He looked great. He looked really nice, and I told him that."
Before their chat, upon meeting and shaking hands at the embassy, the pair exchanged a few words.
According to expert witness lip-reader, Jeremy Freeman, William said to Donald: "We’ll talk afterwards."
The expert added: "And I can just about see Trump about to mouth 'Ab…' assume that is 'absolutely'."
Speaking of the interaction, royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop claimed that Donald seemed taken with the prince who exuded 'untouchable confidence'.
She told The Mirror: "Height wasn't the only in-built advantage that William enjoyed; he exuded the untouchable confidence that comes with future kingship."
