Prince Harry visibly "lost control" when the topic shifted for him during a TV interview with Stephen Colbert , an expert claimed.
Prince Harry will see his best-selling memoir Spare released in paperback in October, less than two-years on from the original hardback was released deepening the already difficult rift between the prince and the Royal Family. Back in 2023 Harry made his first appearance on Stephen's The Late Show to promote the initial release of the book.
During the chat he touched on subjects including whether or not he watched the hot Netflix series The Crown. Harry admitted that he did watch the series and that he had fact-checked certain elements of the programme, which detailed his mother Princess Diana's tragic death in its final season last year.
At the time body language expert Judi James noted a change in Harry's demeanour as he went from being "relaxed" to having "lost control."
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror , Judi said: "This chat-show appearance was Harry at his best: seemingly relaxed and funny, he clearly adored being in the spotlight and marinated in the noisy audience support like a man who had finally come face-to-face with his own fanbase."
The expert added: "Colbert is quick but Harry was often quicker and presented himself as the cool royal who was prepared to spill any amount of tea if he was asked the right questions.
"He seemed un-shockable right up to this point where he was asked about The Crown and despite his facial expressions retaining the aura of being a chilled, down-to-earth fun guy, his hands and leg movements told a contrasting story of unease and of losing control of the interview."
Judi further explained how when asked if he watches The Crown Harry "gets a twinkle in his eye immediately to signal he knows where this one is going. His mouth hikes up at the corner in a signal of colluded humor and he feigns surprise to appease the host by opening and shutting his mouth and letting out a dry laugh."
Judi continued to point out how this "looks like he is pretending to be put on the spot as it makes the gag better. But in reality he turns to his new friends the audience to share the joke with them and his cheeks puff out in a smug smile."
She then described that "the lower half of his body is looking much less smug though. His body language leakage signals suggest genuine discomfort at this point," and that he "rubs his hand on his leg and then crosses his legs in a barrier ritual that suggests he'd secretly prefer to change the subject."
