At the beginning of the event, William seemed to cover his mouth or touch it while turning to speak to his wife. His hand was balled into a fist as if he were coughing while whispering to the princess, who smiled and responded.

In a short video clip, Catherine appeared to turn toward someone on her left and say, “Thanks.” She then faced Prince William and commented on the celebration, reportedly saying, “So lovely.” William, ever composed, is said to have responded with a simple remark, “Not bad, right?”
