Princess Beatrice and Prince William's Tense Encounter
Princess Beatrice attended the royal wedding of Peter and Harriet Phillips last Saturday, where her greeting with cousin Prince William was analyzed by a body language expert as showing signs of tension. The cousins, once reportedly close, may be experiencing a rift due to recent scandals, including revelations that Beatrice and her sister Eugenie do not pay rent on their royal homes.
Body Language Analysis
Inbaal Honigman, speaking exclusively to the Daily Express on behalf of casino.org, noted that the cheek-kiss between Beatrice and William appeared dutiful rather than cheerful. Beatrice's lowered eyes and lack of smile suggested tension, as she avoided looking at William. Her sharp elbow angled away from him indicated she was trying to end the greeting quickly.
Honigman explained: "Princess Beatrice's cheek-kiss with the Heir to the Throne is dutiful, not cheerful. Her eyes are lowered, as if deep in thought, suggesting some tension. She's not looking towards Prince William at all. In addition, no smile is indicated through her pout."
Context of the Wedding
The wedding at All Saints Church in Kemble marked the first public appearance of Beatrice and Eugenie with royal relatives in some time, especially following scandals involving their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The sisters also faced scrutiny after a report revealed they have not been paying rent on their royal homes, with King Charles covering the costs despite them not being working royals. Neither sister has publicly commented on the matter.
