A lip-reader has dived into what Princess Kate Middleton said to her daughter Princess Charlotte after the characters from The Muppets delighted the fans with their presence. During the Coronation concert on Sunday evening, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog surprised crowds when they interrupted Hugh Bonneville halfway through his presenting segment.
Sitting in the royal box with King Charles and Queen Camilla along with the other members of the Royal family, Prince William, 40 and Kate Middleton, 41, were seen enjoying the fun skit.
Princess Charlotte couldn’t hide her smile as Miss Piggy made her advances on Hugh, while George covered his face as he laughed at the bizarre encounter.
An expert lip reader has revealed what the Prince and Princess of Wales thought of the segment when Miss Piggy asked Hugh if he was single.
Jacqui Press told the Daily Mail that Kate particularly loved the sketch, exclaiming “That’s funny!” as she sat next to her daughter Charlotte.
William was especially amused by Hugh’s quip, when he called the Muppets character a “pig in a dress” – and the Prince repeated it under his breath with a laugh.
The Coronation concert was a star-studded event with celebrities such as Katy Perry, Take That, Lionel Richie and Andrea Bocelli taking to the stage.
Prince William also impressed the crown as he took to the stage to pay tribute to his newly-crowned father and tell the unelected head of state how proud his family are of him.
The Prince began his speech this evening with a dad joke, referencing headliner Lionel Richie and promising not to “go on all night long”, before sharing an emotional tribute to his own father.

When her dad appeared on stage, eight-year-old Charlotte perked up immediately, looking excited and gesturing to her brother to look, pointing over to the stage.
George, amusingly, didn’t look quite as impressed to see his dad up there.
Their mum, Kate, also was “shining” throughout and fans loved how “proud” she looked as her husband took to the stage for his speech.
She was spotted laughing at his cheeky joke and beaming at him from the Royal box.
Meanwhile, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise took to the skies for his cameo at the Coronation Coronation, with the Top Gun star sharing his message for King Charles from the cockpit of his own plane he was flying.
While speaking to the camera, Tom told Charles: “Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time.”
