Harry And William's Body Language During The Funeral Turns Heads

The death of Prince Philip, even though not unexpected at his age, nevertheless came as a blow to the royal family at a time when they've been under a great deal of strain. Perhaps the biggest problem faced by the royals of late has been the backlash stemming from Megxit, not the least being all those bombs lobbed by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, during last month's Oprah tell-all.

Needless to say, when Prince Harry decided to man up and attend his grandpa's funeral despite his plummeting popularity in his native land, it prompted a lot of speculation as to how awkward the situation would be. People wondered how the estranged brothers, William and Harry, would interact, although palace aides told the Daily Mail that both brothers, quote, "wish to focus on mourning their grandfather and do not want anything to get in the way of that." These same aides, however, also described the tension in the palace as they found themselves "walking on eggshells," not wanting to come under fire from supporters of either Team William/Kate or Team Harry/Meghan.

Well, words (especially words from other horses' mouths) can only tell us so much, so The List turned to a couple of body language experts - Joseph Hoelscher, and psychotherapist Jennifer Tomko - to get their take on what the two princes may really have been feeling during the funeral procession.

Hoelscher first pointed out the fact that as they walked behind the casket, William and Harry were, quote, "noticeably farther apart than the rest of the procession," although he did not speculate as to the reason behind this. We can't help but think, though, that memories of a similar, even sadder walk they took 24 years ago may have crossed both their minds. After all, when their mother, Princess Diana, was laid to rest, it was their grandfather Prince Philip who accompanied both young boys on that unbelievably painful occasion.
