'Prince Harry's criticism of the Royal Family has only done one thing'
A body language expert has claimed the Royal household's visible unity on VE Day was stronger than ever thanks to Prince Harry's latest outburst.
The Royal Family displayed a "solid show of stoicism" on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during today's VE Day celebrations in the wake of Prince Harry's latest round of stinging criticism, a body language expert has claimed.
On Friday, the Duke of Sussex told the BBC that his father, King Charles, would not talk to him. Speaking to the broadcaster after losing an appeal over his security arrangements in the UK, he said he had “discovered that some people want history to repeat itself”. His interview has been met with widespread backlash, but has not been commented on by the working members of the Royal Family.
Today, stepping out on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the VE Day flyover, the King, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate and their children appeared "looking like an even more closely-synchronized unit than usual", according to body language expert Judi James.
She told the Daily Express: "Having been used as something of a coconut shy by Harry as he pelted them with even more stinging criticism, the royals appeared today looking like an even more closely-synchronised unit than usual, to suggest a solid wall of stoicism as they just got on with the job."
She added that they showed professionalism in "where and how their attention is directed i.e. to the veterans of the wars, who they met using smiles of genuine delight, kindness and interest."
"This was a strong setting for the royals doing what they do best, and they appeared to ignore any 'dark' references and hints of conspiracies that had been tossed at them one day before", she added.

Prince Harry raised doubts about when he will next bring his family to the UK after losing his appeal over his security arrangements.
After moving to the US and stepping back from royal life, he lost the state-funded security that had until then proctected him and his family.
"I can only come to the UK safely if I am invited, and there is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands," he said.
"Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him, not by intervening, but by stepping aside and allowing the experts to do what is necessary."
