Queen Camilla made headlines on the first day of Royal Ascot when she appeared a bit “panicked” while having a conversation with her best friend, Lady Sarah Keswick, as they rode in the carriage procession.

A professional lip reader later revealed that King Charles‘ wife was worried about trying to keep her hat on her head as she battled the gusty wind. Now, the lip-reading pro observed the queen having another conversation regarding the weather during Day Three of the horse-racing festival.

Hickling has spearheaded the development of innovative technologies and services that empower individuals with hearing impairments. She has also appeared in the likes of the Daily Mail, Page Six, Newsweek, and more.

According to Hickling, Queen Camilla spoke to the king about how bright and sunny it had been each day of Royal Ascot and how she thinks that will change when they head to Scotland soon.

Speaking on behalf of Genting Casino, the lip reader shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Camilla said: “Can you believe this, we’ve had amazing warm weather. You watch when we go to the Highlands, it will change and won’t be as sunny. Quite frankly I’m grateful.”
