Princess Beatrice appeared 'haunted and tense' in her first public appearance since her father, Prince Andrew, was arrested on his birthday over allegations related to the Epstein case, a body language expert has told the Mirror.
The 37-year-old was seen walking in London with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and a group of friends. She wore a long blue overcoat and scarf, clutching a coffee cup, while Edoardo followed a few steps behind in a smart blue suit.
Body language analyst Judi James noted signs of stress: 'Beatrice looks tense, haunted and hunted as she appears to pick up speed. Her lips are closed and pulled down at the corners in an unusually serious look. Her eyes have taken on a more haunted, wary expression.'
James observed that Beatrice used her coffee cup as a barrier, and when a friend made expansive hand gestures, she looked down with a hunched posture. 'When she does look up she performs a nose-wrinkled expression that hints at a grimace of dislike or disgust, perhaps at the camera attention,' she added.
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Beatrice's mother, Sarah Ferguson, remain unknown. Royal expert Ingrid Seward suggested she may have sought refuge with wealthy friends abroad, saying: 'Nobody knows where she is at this moment. She could be anywhere.'
