Prince Harry is apparently in “very high spirits” now he is back on British soil, even though he will not be seeing his father King Charles while he is here.
It was announced yesterday that the King’s busy schedule is too full to allow him to meet his son, but Harry hasn’t been letting that affect him as he attends a series of Invictus Games-related events.
A body language analyst said the Duke of Sussex is feeling “positive and proud” in spite of the ongoing tensions with the Royal Family.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, Darren Stanton told OK! magazine: “Harry appears to be his most confident self during his return to the UK as he prepares for the Invictus Games.
“His body language suggests he’s feeling strong, as we can’t see him using self-reassurance gestures – which he often uses when feeling nervous.
“He is seen holding his head up high, with his shoulders back and displaying a bold grin. He’s developed a lot in terms of his inner strength and confidence. It tells us he is feeling very positive and proud about where he is right now. He is in very high spirits.”
Mr Stanton added that Harry is giving everyone he interacts with his “full attention and engagement” as he attends a service at St Paul’s Cathedral celebrating ten years of the Invictus Games this afternoon.
The expert also pointed out that the Duke’s continued eye contact and bold gestures highlighted how “open and welcoming” he was instead of “restricted and closed off”.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk about the King’s decision not to meet with Harry: “This will widely be seen as a snub. There is no doubt that if it had been arranged properly in advance there would probably have been a meeting, as the King has always left a door open for Harry.
“However when undergoing treatment for cancer and with engagements he is hoping to fulfil as well as his constitutional duties, it wasn’t possible.
“If Harry had stayed in Britain for longer it would almost certainly have been different, but the Nigerian trip looks like a cover for Meghan avoiding Britain, as she is far from popular here as a new poll has shown.”
