Prince Harry's body language showed he's not only deeply affected by the Queen's death, but also haunted by the loss of his UK family, an expert claimed.
The Duke of Sussex walked side by side with Prince William yesterday as they followed their father on the Queen's coffin procession through London, before arriving at Westminster Hall for a short ceremony.
Body language expert Judi James said Harry's emotions were "written all over his face", and described his expression as "haunted".
She added: "The grief and perhaps the pressure of the occasion seemed to overwhelm Harry here.
"He was not only mourning his beloved grandmother, but perhaps also experiencing the sense of family and history that he has left behind to create his own family and life in the US."
At one point during the ceremony, the prince was seen covering his eyes with his hand; a gesture which suggested he was desperate to mask and conceal his emotions, said Judi.
He was also staring for some time at his order of service, which she believed was another way to try and hide what he's feeling.
Judi compared the move to when Princess Beatrice "had to pretend to look in her handbag" before covering her face with her order of service to hide her emotions at Prince Philip's funeral.
She continued: "When [Harry's] face is visible he seems to be wincing in pain, which is an expression signaling deep levels of sadness that can often feel like physical pain."
Judi also says the prince can be seen to clench and unclench his fingers as he tries to steel himself for the sight of the coffin, she told The Sun.
She believed Harry's body language suggested he may have wanted to help carry the coffin as his shoulders could be seen rolling gently as if miming the pallbearers.
Harry previously paid heartfelt tribute to his grandmother and thanked her for her "commitment to service", "sound advice" and "infectious smile".
He added: "We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace."
Harry and Meghan were seen holding hands as they left Westminster Hall, which some critics claimed was against protocol. But many have defended the pair, saying it's more than understandable at a time of grief.
Earlier this year, and while the Sussexes were in the UK for Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II met her great-granddaughter and namesake Lilibet for the first time.
The Queen will lie in state at Westminster Hall until her funeral on Monday.
Thousands of mourners have been queuing for miles - many overnight - to pay their respects.
