However, in William’s case, James claimed his blinking was more frequent, “which would say more about inner tension.”
She added: “For William, there was a staccato blinking that was more frequent, which would say more about inner tension.
“He seems to be presenting himself as the family rock that his father can rely on but that display of strength and calm could be underpinned by some inner tension in terms of getting it right.
“He might want to avoid showing any vulnerability, especially in the light of the constant problems from the US, but there do seem to be a couple of micro-gestures, i.e. the blinking and the jaw muscle movement, that give hints the responsibility does require effort.
“William’s body language now places him as a beacon of calm and strength at formal, traditional royal events like this.
“His features looked softer as though keeping a fond eye on his father, although a muscle working in his jaw did suggest some inner tension and alertness.”
