A revealing moment between King Charles and Prince Harry has resurfaced from the 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations, showing what experts describe as a "telling" reaction from the monarch.
In footage from the BBC documentary "Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen," the then-Prince of Wales appears to subtly roll his eyes when hearing his son's voice during a voiceover segment. The documentary, celebrating the late Queen's life, featured various royal family members sharing personal reflections.
The Moment That Spoke Volumes
Body language expert Judi James analysed the clip for The Mirror, noting: "Charles's eye-roll suggests a mix of exasperation and resignation. It's the kind of reaction you might give to a family member whose behaviour has become predictable yet still disappointing."
The moment occurred as Prince Harry's voice was heard saying: "Granny has always been a huge presence in our lives." Charles's subtle reaction lasted barely a second but has sparked considerable discussion among royal watchers.
Timing Adds Significance
This unearthed footage gains particular relevance following Harry and Meghan's Netflix series and the Prince's memoir "Spare," which revealed deep fractures within the royal family. The Platinum Jubilee marked one of Harry's last public appearances with working royals before stepping back from duties.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Mirror: "This small moment speaks volumes about the state of relations at that time. The body language suggests the tensions we now know about were already present."
The documentary, originally broadcast in May 2022, has gained renewed attention as analysts re-examine royal interactions for clues about the family dynamics during this transitional period.
