Prince Harry’s big fear exposed after King Charles snub
A body language expert has waded in on Harry's insecurities while he makes public appearances on UK soil.
Prince Harry has “feelings of isolation” in the UK according to a body language expert. The Duke of Sussex is being watched by the world’s media as he navigates his three day visit to Britain. Harry is in town for the Invictus Games event at St Paul’s Cathedral celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the games, happening later today, Wednesday, May 8. Yesterday, Tuesday, May 7, he was seen at the London Honourable Artillery Company’s headquarters for a one-day summit, called the Invictus Games Foundation Conversation: “Realising A Global Community”.
Now body language expert Judi James has taken a closer look at the photos of Harry at the event and suggested has “feelings of isolation,” reports The Mirror. She said: “This is a confident, splayed-leg, knee-bent walk from Harry who, with his chin raised and an eye-smile that suggests some delight at all the royal-looking fuss here, appears more than happy to enjoy a reception that involves some sort of a military parade for him to inspect as well as a warm, bicep-grabbing man hug reception from his hosts.”
Ms James added: “As he brings his hands up in a barrier ritual, he is fiddling with his wedding ring with not one but two fingers. “This is a self-comfort gesture that would suggest feelings of isolation and a desire for a back-up team from home.” Prince Harry is in the UK without wife Duchess Meghan Markle and children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, two. The St Paul’s Cathedral event marks a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games London in 2014, founded as a sporting event for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. Harry is expected to provide a reading at the event, while actor Damian Lewis is set to recite the Invictus poem during the service.
But in what must be a major blow to the Prince, he will not meet with his father King Charles during his stay. King Charles has a packed day of engagements which means he is unable to meet with Prince Harry as it had been speculated he might. Instead the Prince will be celebrating an important milestone without a single member of the Royal Family by his side – but one royal commentator says he has “no-one else to blame.”
UK monarchy expert Jennie Bond – who was the BBC’s royal correspondent for 14 years – has given her own take on the situation, saying that the fact he will be at the service without any other Royal Family members is a “graphic illustration” of what he and wife Duchess Meghan have unleashed on them. She said: “He’s here to celebrate the Invictus Games… and rightly so, it is a great achievement.
“But how telling it will be to see him there without a single member of the royal family present to salute his achievement. It will be a graphic illustration of what he has done to the family he still professes to love.” She added: “There must be a part of him now that profoundly regrets the rift he and Meghan have caused… he has no-one else to blame.”
