The public had witnessed the close bond of Prince William and Prince Harry since they were young boys. Their tight relationship continued even though the Duke of Cambridge got married to Kate Middleton in 2011 and had children.
However, things began to change when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot last year. Whispers and speculations of a feud between the Cambridges and Sussexes started to make their rounds on the internet, especially after the latter couple decided to remove themselves from the joint foundation and created their own charity.
In the documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey, Prince Harry finally addressed all the rumors about his and Prince William’s alleged fallout. When he was asked about his rumored rift with his brother, the Duke of Sussex replied, “we don’t see each other as much as we used to because we’re so busy. But I love him dearly and the majority of the stuff is created out of nothing. But as brothers, you have good days, you have bad days.”
Now, body language expert Judi James analyzed Prince Harry’s body language while talking about his brother. She pointed out that the Duke of Sussex’s body language revealed a lot more than his words.
“His first body language reaction is to laugh though, tipping his head back before we get the long pause and an elongated ‘Um....’ His gently rocking torso looks like a self-comfort ritual but he combines it with some denial gestures like a single shoulder-shrug and then two double shoulder-shrugs as he says ‘Stuff happens,’” Judi James said.
The body language expert pointed out that Prince Harry smiled when he said that he and Prince William will always be brothers and will always love each other, suggesting that the royal brothers are bonded with laughter. “When a rift is causing anger or resentment it will usually show in the facial expression but Harry’s spontaneous response plus the subtle warmth of some of his smiles as he speaks about William makes his comment ‘I love him dearly’ ring true,” she shared.
Prince Harry is definitely not feeling his best recently. He is dealing with a lot of things and the tabloids are always waiting for him and Meghan Markle to fail and mess up. In fact, these hurtful, fake, exaggerated stories finally got on his nerves and he decided to sue a couple of publications to teach them a lesson.
With these issues that Prince Harry is facing, it would be nice to see him and Prince William getting back to their close relationship. After all, nothing beats family support, which the Duke of Sussex extremely needs right now.
