I was definitely trying to figure out what Prince William & Kate were saying to each other during the Royal Wedding yesterday but OF COURSE, we can always rely on our overly obsessed American media who hired professional lip readers to fill us in! Hit the jump to see what the two were saying during the ceremony!!
(HP)–Tina Lannin, a professional lip reader who was born deaf, caught the private whispers during the royal wedding that television microphones couldn’t capture.
Lannin, who has worked for 7 years as a forensic lip reader for police forces and media outlets with O’Malley Communications, picked out comments from Prince William, his bride and Queen Elizabeth II in a partial transcript. Her assessment couldn’t be verified.
