A body language expert claims Prince Harry was showing signs of "building tension" during the coronation of King Charles III. The Duke of Sussex attended the Westminster Abbey service on Saturday (May 6), though his wife remained at their home in the US.
His attendance came following months of controversy after the release of a Netflix documentary and autobiography, both of which criticised some members of the Royal Family. Whilst waiting for his father and brother William to arrive on Saturday, body language expert Judi James claims Harry looked nervous, reports Birmingham Live.
She said: "As Harry waited in his seat for his father and brother to arrive there were some subliminal signs of building tension or anxiety. He sucked his lips in and licked them and his blink rate increased, suggesting adrenalin prompted by nerves."

The Duke of Sussex arrived at the same time as his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, along with their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank. He arrived before the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children and was sat three rows back from the front. While walking in, Harry gave courteous greetings to some of the other guests, saying "hello", "morning" and "nice to see you" to various people. One lip reader has also claimed he said "look at that" while noticing the grandeur of the occasion and also said "delightful".
