The royals are a consistent source of fascination, providing constant fodder for dissecting and analyzing.
That’s where our body language experts step in.
Our prime subject of analysis:King Charles III.
King Charles has been in the public eye since he was born.
His relationships, namely his romantic associations, have provided some of the greatest international gossip in history.
Furthermore, he helped bring two men into the world whose lives have been just as interesting.
But just how deep is their love?
Some answers lie in the interactions the two have had in public.
For example, in early November 2023, the couple was on a royal trip to Kenya.
“Camilla’s affectionate pat on King Charles' back was a sweet, caring gesture.
Clearly, it was something only a loving spouse could do, especially to the King of England.
The pat on Charles' behind wasn’t the only part of their interaction that stood out.
“They appeared not only in unison but as one entity.”
Ponce further explained that William’s respect for his father may even go beyond the others in his family.
A sweet exchange between the princess and the king seems to confirm their adoration for one another is reciprocal.
As Ponce pointed out, this photo is clear evidence of the unique bond the two share.
He clearly is enamored with and appreciative of her presence.
Moore particularly noted how Prince Harry’s demeanor seemed tense on his father’s big day.
“Harry feels like in self-protection mode and he’s not at ease being at his father’s coronation.
Not used to how to act in this royal setting, she often displays unease and caution.
One can see this in her body position and facial expressions.”
“Her head is tilted in a more casual fashion as she glances in King Charles' direction.
More of a familiar glance, he seems unfazed by her overture and focus.
She seems to be more uneasy with royalty as a whole than with King Charles in particular.
“Often seen laughing and smiling, they appear to enjoy each other’s company.
It’s great to see the king in jovial, comfortable spirits.”
It’s such a captivating scene that it makes many of us wonder what they’re enjoying so much.
Rather, they seem to have more of a professional relationship.
Images of the two of them often show them engaged in serious conversations.
While a brotherly bond is typically jovial and animated, these two are not.”
And the photo is no anomaly.
“As seen here in this photo, Prince Andrew often has his hands behind him as he walks.
“He walks forward with the king in caution as the two chat.
Likewise, it appears King Charles is there for the conversation, but not the connection.”
Things may be improving, though.
In the summer of 2023, Charles invited his brother to stay with him at Balmoral.
On examination of this image, some interesting insights into their dynamic were drawn.
One such person is Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter.
“But honestly, there doesn’t seem to be a strong connection between the two.”
“Seen here in this photo, she leans in to kiss him on the cheek.
But she doesn’t actually kiss him.
Rather, it is a cheek-to-cheek gesture, without her lips touching his cheek,” Ponce told us.
“She has puckered lips looking completely past him.
But are they close?
I say no.”
He really received a firsthand look into what will likely be a future experience.”
Prince George was regal, appropriate, and very royal.
“He playfully touched her, and she responded with a quick turn towards him.
One wonders if she was going to poke him back, but suddenly remembered the occasion.
It was a sweet endearing moment.”
Ponce gleaned more from their relationship from the moment.
“Princess Charlotte and King Charles have a delightful granddaughter-grandfather relationship.
In general, she is less formal than her brother Prince George.
One might assume [it’s] because she’s unlikely to take the royal throne in the future.
However, there is more to it than just that!
She has a playful, curious nature who really seems to like personal relationships,” Ponce said.
