"Both rituals had no practical use, but they imply a desire to self-protect and self-comfort. For the royals, who can't greet the world with crossed or folded arms, these truncated rituals are a strong hint of inner anxieties," James told The Daily Mail.
The body language expert added that Charles appeared stressed during the scheduled event. "His lips were held into a rigid smile of resilience and stoicism as he was greeted by his host, but his brows were puckered in a steeple of anxiety, and his eye expression suggested sadness."
