Prince Harry told the Duchess of Sussex to 'turn around' during Trooping the Colour, royal watchers claim.
The Duke of Sussex, 34, was filmed speaking to Meghan, 37, while she was stood in front of him on the balcony of Buckingham Palace last Saturday.
At one point the Duchess turned back to speak to her husband twice in quick succession, prompting Prince Harry so utter a brief phrase in response.
Several social media users claim Harry told the Duchess to 'turn around' in preparation for the national anthem, which started a few moments later. The Royal Family traditionally face forwards out to the crowds while the anthem is played.
One wrote: 'He told her to either turn around or face the front approx 3 times.'

For the festivities, which marked the Queen's official birthday, the Duchess of Sussex was stood in front of her husband, and behind James, Viscount Severn, 11, and Isla Phillips, seven, who were at the front of the balcony.
At the start of the clip, the royals can be seen chatting among themselves, with Harry turning to away from Meghan to speak to someone on his left.

Several Twitter users agreed that it looked as though Harry had told Meghan to 'turn around'
His aunt, Sophie Wessex, cousin Lady Louise Windsor and Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank were all standing nearby.
A short time later, as if joining in on the conversation, Meghan turns around to speak to her husband.
The change in position means the back of her head is now towards the cameras and the thousands of well-wishers gathered outside Buckingham Palace.
The Duchess appears to say something, prompting a brief reply from Harry.
After half-turning to face the front, Meghan turns back around once more, at which point Harry appears to glace meaningfully towards his grandmother the Queen.

However other Twitter users claimed the Duke might have been saying something else to Meghan, or could have even been telling the children to stay still as they were moving
The Duchess faces forwards and the national anthem begins shortly afterwards.
Social media users pointed out that Harry's look to the Queen could be an unspoken signal that the national anthem was about to start. Others noted that Meghan stayed facing forwards after the brief exchange, leading them to deduce Harry's words.
However more other viewers claimed it was more likely that Meghan faced forwards simply because the music started playing, as James, Viscount Severn, Isla and Sophie Wessex all seemed to settle around the same time.
