To honor Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding anniversary, a lip reader revealed what the groom appeared to say to his bride on their special day.
Back in 2011, the Prince and Princess of Wales lovingly stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following their nuptials and happily waved to the crowds below.
Prince William appeared to ask Kate Middleton for another kiss on the Palace balcony.
After William, 43, gave a big kiss to his spouse, he seemingly inquired, "Shall we do one more?” The Duchess of Cambridge, 44, nodded, and the pair shared another smooch for the cameras and their adoring public.
When the couple made their way to the Palace in their carriage after their ceremony concluded at Westminster Abbey, Kate reportedly asked William one very important question.
