In the wake of King Charles’ recent cancer diagnosis, royal commentator and body language expert Judi James has offered insights into the monarch’s demeanor during public appearances, suggesting a nuanced interplay between reluctance and engagement.
During a candid discussion with Femail, James delved into King Charles’ behavior, particularly highlighting his demeanor at the Easter service outing. “Charles looked as though he was enjoying himself enormously, back with his loyal fans and partly back at work again,” she remarked.
James observed distinctive signs of good humor and engagement from the king, noting his lifted and rounded cheeks, signature gestures, and playful interactions with the hosts and the public. She pointed out moments where King Charles exhibited “a fluttering wave of affection” and engaged in banter with the crowds, indicating a genuine connection with his audience.
However, James also detected hints of reluctance in King Charles’ body language, particularly noting his hesitation to step out of the spotlight. Despite his outward displays of enjoyment, James observed a series of waves before he entered the venue, suggesting a reluctance to retreat from public view.
In contrast, James remarked on Queen Camilla’s body language, noting her apparent ease and lack of anxiety regarding her husband’s condition. “Camilla did not seem to be on any form of nursing duty, with no anxious glances at her husband,” James observed. Instead, Camilla’s smile and wave conveyed reassurance and pride as King Charles resumed his public duties.
