King Charles III and Prince Harry have shown very different reactions to the Queen's death, a body language expert has claimed. Queen Elizabeth died surrounded by her family at Balmoral - with Charles and Queen Consort Camilla leaving the royal family's Scottish Highlands estate this morning as they make their way back to London.
His youngest son, Prince Harry, was seen boarding a plane back to Windsor earlier this morning and laid a supportive hand on an airport employee after boarding a plane. Both royals showed very different reactions as they left Scotland, with body language expert Judi James saying King Charles looked "isolated and silent in grief".

He sat in the back seat of the chauffer-driven car, with Camilla in the front seat, for the drive to Aberdeen airport.
Judi told The Mirror: "While his youngest son left Balmoral alone to fly back to his wife Charles sat in his car behind Camilla, looking almost as though he needed to be isolated and silent in his grief at the present time.
"His facial expression bore some signs of shock, which can be normal, even after an expected death.
"He sits slightly hunched and diminished and with his steepled brows and his cheeks and mouth pulled back slightly at the corners his eye expression suggested tearfulness."
Once he arrives back in London, Charles will have his first Audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss before delivering a speech to the nation this evening.
According to Judi, it was a different story for Prince Harry when he arrived at Aberdeen Airport and looked 'in need of conversation and a hug'.
Harry kindly put supportive hand on an airport employee before getting on a plane back to London - showing he was still thinking of others in his moment of grief.
Judi told us: "Harry’s body language suggested he was in need of conversation and some more tactile forms of condolence and support.
"After waving to some airport workers he chatted to another as he walked to his plane. In a time of communal mourning it's likely the woman was upset herself, and Harry's parting gesture of placing one hand on her back with a small rubbing ritual did suggest he was offering a very touching gesture of mutual condolence.
"It's likely his gesture also implied a desire for a hug himself which he will presumably get once he touches down and meets up with Meghan again."
The prince was in the UK this week with wife Meghan Markle to attend the WellChild Awards on Thursday evening.
He had flown into Aberdeen Airport alone, hours after his brother and two uncles flew together to the same airstrip.
A spokesperson for the couple had initially said Meghan would be joining her husband travelling north, but it was later decided she would remain in London.
On his arrival at Balmoral yesterday, Harry was seen looking downcast following the announcement of the Queen's death.
This morning, the Duke was seen being driven through the main gates of the Royal residence by his security team as part of a two-car convoy.
King Charles arrived earlier at Balmoral for his mother's final hours along with his brothers, Princes Edward and Andrew, and their sister, Princess Anne.
In a statement, Charles said: "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."
