Prince Harry appeared positive and cheerful before meeting King Charles, according to a body language expert. Judi James noted that Harry’s smile reflected optimism and familiarity as he engaged with others earlier in the day. She observed that his smile resembled his childhood grins, hinting at his reconnection with his role as a son in the upcoming meeting with Charles.
Despite his upbeat demeanor, James pointed out a subtle sign of anxiety in Harry’s body language, noting how he nervously touched his shirt and belt. She suggested that Harry might have mixed emotions as he anticipated his reunion with his father, feeling a blend of pleasure and apprehension.
Images of Harry en route to the meeting showed him looking calm and reflective, with a gesture reminiscent of older male members of the Windsor family. The expert hoped this signaled a mature approach rather than a confrontational attitude during the reunion.
During their gathering at Clarence House, King Charles and Prince Harry reportedly shared an afternoon tea, marking their first in-person meeting since February 2024. Speculation about a potential reunion had intensified when Harry returned to the UK in September to support charitable causes.
Harry’s recent UK visit included attending the WellChild Awards in London, engaging in activities in Nottingham, and visiting Imperial College London. Charles arrived at the royal residence before Harry, with the two spending around 55 minutes together during their private tea.
