During the coronation ceremony King Charles III and Prince Harry couldn’t hide their nervousness, albeit for completely opposite reasons. His Majesty was excited, almost incredulous, to be the center of attention, the very one who lived in Queen Elizabeth’s shadow for years. Harry, on the other hand, seemed heartbroken, nostalgic, and tense while searching for his father and brother William, and only received indifference in return.
“A Deep Breath”
“At the entrance to the abbey [Carlo III]… she took a deep breath and half straightened her stance … which shows good self-control,” body language expert Carole Railton told the Chron. The king He had a “thoughtful” demeanor, but no one knows what his thoughts were. Perhaps his mind was lost in the memory of his parents, of his long past Prince of Galles. Nevertheless, he was not calm, the expert continued: “Carlo seemed overwhelmed” by emotions and when “William was standing in front of him.” [il Re] he was excited… he blinked, showing some stress… he looked tired and the previous deep breath shows he was [cercando] to get back in tune with the ceremony, to resume the rhythm of that precise moment altered by emotions. Charles “sat on the edge of the throne and showed that he was excited and excited about what was happening.”
“Looking down”
Fanpage also analyzed the king’s attitude and noted moments of tension: “As he walked down the altar and also as he sat on the throne, [Carlo] he… often directed his gaze downward. In technical jargon we speak of avoiding eye contact… fleeting glances… as if trying to be as inconspicuous as possible…”, a difficult, even impossible task considering that he was the protagonist of the ritual, the ruler to be crowned. “She assumed a composed stance as she walked,” the site continued, her gaze trying to hide “tension.” There was nervousness on his face. Fanpage also noted that the king often “bited his lower lip” and at the moment of the coronation “his shining eyes were clearly visible…”[le] dilated eye pupils, [le] wrinkled eyebrows, [le] tight lips”. His Majesty He was aware of the importance of what he was experiencing and its consequences.
The “courage” of the king
Vanity Fair heard the opinion of psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher Carolina Traverso, which differs in a few ways from those we’ve already seen. Charles III was excited, but there was a moment when he would show all his inner strength: “The straight back, open chest, relaxed shoulders and left hand on thigh while King Charles holds the ritual sword signal courage .” Presence and Strength”. It is not excluded that the mere gesture of holding the sword, “symbol of defence, authority and justice”, gave the ruler the firmness he needed at that moment and reminded him of the ancient and prestigious heritage of British rulers before him remembered. In general, the behavior of King Charles III. influenced by this voltage, that was noticeable and just as strong pressure. He tried to instill courage in himself, but he didn’t always manage to maintain the right aura of composure. On the contrary, at some moments his facial expression was even incredulous. In such cases, however, after decades of waiting, it is completely understandable.
“Hug” for Harry
The Prince Harry he was no less excited, but for an entirely different reason. Carole Railton explained: “[Il duca] He wasn’t on the same wavelength as those around him. When he arrived at the abbey, his back was “hunched” and his stride suggested the prince was “on his own,” according to the expert. Additionally, Harry pinned the hem of his jacket with his hand, “a signal of the need for a little hug,” reflecting the media’s perception and public pressure regarding his meeting with the royal family. In addition, the duke would often turn around, not maintaining a fixed position for a long time and, according to Railton, this is a clear sign of “discomfort” caused by “an unusual pose” that “we don’t normally see in kings”. .
Furtive looks
Even a missed interaction can have precise meaning, body language expert Judi James told The Sun, speaking of the wall of indifference in between Wilhelm And harry, Sitting in the third row during the coronation, “William doesn’t turn to look back, and Harry’s stern sideways glance suggests he’s… almost throwing unintentionally.” When we tell ourselves not to do something, the brain tilts to listen to the suggestion without processing the negative command.” This would mean that “the more Harry told himself not to look at his brother, the more he couldn’t stop.” . It’s similar when we say harmless phrases like “Don’t think about an elephant” and imagine an elephant mathematically.
The anthem was interrupted
Indeed, according to the Chron, someone would have seen Prince Harry stop singing the national anthem following the death of his father. Anyone who has noticed this detail, if true, has amazing eyesight. The Duke of Sussex was framed very few times (was it a suggestion from Buckingham Palace to the BBC? It’s impossible to prove) and was often obscured by the red plume of the Duke’s cap Princess Anna (Another detail that had people screaming conspiracy, although camera crews require extreme precision to line up Harry’s face perfectly with his aunt’s plume.)
Melancholy Harry
According to Carolina Traverso, Harry was “obviously angry” as he “locks his lips” as if holding back. Not only that: “Head is slightly bowed, eyebrows are furrowed, gaze is fierce” and “he touches the outside of his nose to ease his nervousness.” He had “an expression between melancholy and contempt…”. Expert Blanca Cobb also noted Harry’s pursed lips, “stiff posture…tight smile…serious look,” and even “thumbs down on his left hand,” all of which indicated stress, anxiety, and sadness. As if the prince was nostalgic for the world he grew up in and lost, but of his own free will. If there really is all this nostalgia in his heart, is it possible that we can’t find a mutually agreeable solution? Sometimes it almost seems as if the Duke wants to take a step towards his family, but something always blocks him.
