An authority well-versed in decoding body language has shed light on Prince Harry’s sense of isolation as revelations surface that he will not be engaging in meetings with his father, the king, or his brother, the Prince of Wales, during his current visit to London.
Today, a service is scheduled at St Paul’s Cathedral to honor the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, with the Duke of Sussex anticipated to spend a brief period of two to three days in the UK.
Reports from The Express indicate that following his arrival from Los Angeles, the Duke participated in a discussion meeting affiliated with the Invictus Games Foundation on Tuesday.
Judy James, as quoted by The Mirror, observed that the Duke’s non-verbal communication suggested a sense of unhappiness, potentially stemming from missing his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, who opted not to accompany him on this journey.
She remarked on his confident stride, with legs splayed and knees bent, chin held high, and a smile in his eyes indicating some pleasure amidst the royal attention.
Despite his apparent enjoyment of the ceremonial reception, including a military parade for inspection and warm embraces from hosts, James noted subtle emotional cues hinting at underlying thoughts and perhaps a display of bravado.
Midway through a customary barrier gesture, Prince Harry was seen adjusting his wedding band with both hands in a delicate manner.
This action, interpreted as a self-soothing gesture, may reflect feelings of isolation and a longing for the familiar support of his family back home.
