Kate and Charles accompanied the Queen, along with Prince William, Camilla, at the Eden Project in Cornwall on Friday for an evening reception with some of the world's leaders.

Upon arriving, the duchess greeted her father-in-law, and a lip reader told that she said: "Hello Grandpa, how are you?"

Prince Charles is grandfather to Kate and William's three adorable kids - Princes George and Louis and cheeky Princess Charlotte - so the name is only fitting.

The pair also shared a sweet moment at Prince Philip's funeral back in April as Kate Middleton pecked grief-stricken Prince Charles on the cheek.

The lip reader also revealed some of the other remarks shared between the royal family as they walked through the gardens to meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie.

It's been reported that the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, was holding the Queen's "shawl" as she spoke with the monarch.

The lip reader claimed that Camilla had asked her mother-in.-law if she would like to wear the garment, to which the Queen reportedly said: "You have it."

During the dinner, Kate also paid a sweet tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, by wearing her beautiful three-strand pearl bracelet.

The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, wowed in a £3,000 white double-breasted coat dress by Alexander McQueen for the glamorous evening event, and finished off her look with nude heels and a simple white clutch bag.

This comes as the Queen made a subtle nod to Meghan and Harry at the G7 summit in Cornwall.
