Prince Harry appeared “increasingly uncomfortable” during a recent podcast interview when asked a series of probing questions, according to a body language expert. The 41-year-old Duke was quizzed by American comedian Hasan Minhaj for his show Doesn’t Know on the dangers of AI and social media for children.
As the pair waded through the serious subject matter there were a series of quips in the podcast episode, largely coming from the comedian, with body language expert Judi James believing that Harry was struggling to keep up with the mocking humour. Judi told The Mirror: “Hasan’s ability to blend serious and important messages with the kind of mocking humour that Ali G used to be known for appears, from Harry’s body language, to be a de-stabilising technique.” She went on to say that while Harry can be humorous in his own way on different podcasts and chat shows, his funny moments usually come when he is the one on top of the joke.
“He can throw back one-liners efficiently enough but it’s here where his host seems to trip over the border from trading jokes and laughing with Harry to laughing at him that sees Harry become increasingly uncomfortable,” she said. He is even asked to make himself look and sound ridiculous with the ‘American accent’ scenario and it’s at this point that Harry seems to become genuinely concerned, looking out to the crew to ask ‘Is this part of the thing’ to find out if he’s being encouraged or mocked.”
