Prince William once again appeared to be the “most tense” in the new official royal photo from Tuesday’s glittering reception, a body language expert has claimed. The Prince of Wales posed alongside his wife, Princess Kate and King Charles with Queen Camilla in a “show of unit” just before the annual Diplomatic Corps reception in the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace last night.
Now body language expert Judi James said William’s facial expressions could hint at “inner tension or even anger”.
She told the Mirror: “Facial expressions and especially eye expressions tend to be more revealing in terms of emotional states though and the expressions here do seem to be telling.
“William and Kate suggest a degree of optimism and there is some humour in William’s expression although he does seem to have acquired a trait of slightly clenched teeth as he smiles since the recent book claims, hinting at inner tension or even anger.”

The expert went on to add the overall photo “confirms” the idea of “continuing unity”.
She explained: “The body poses and subtle angles here do confirm the idea of continuing unity. Charles and his eldest son stand side by side and their mirrored inward head tilts would signal aligned thinking and a sense of taking an agreed stance.
“Camilla and Kate are both close to their husbands, tucked in slightly behind Charles and William in another mirrored signal of support.
“William and Kate also mirror each other’s poses. William holds his clasped hands in front of his torso while Kate’s fingers touch together lightly to suggest a lack of tension.”
It comes as royal aides claimed it was “business as usual” for the Royal Family after Omid Scobie’s explosive book Endgame unleashed a series of bombshell claims and scathing attacks against the Royal Family.
James went on to comment on Camilla’s facial expression and smile adding that they have the “biggest impact”.
She claimed: “She normally has a tendency to look slightly nervous or passive when grouped with her husband and his glamorous son and daughter-in-law but here her facial expression is the most active of the group, picking her out at the strongest in terms of emotion and resilience.”
