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.

Watch this video for why Harry and William's body language during the funeral is turning heads.

Everyone wants to speculate to much my word its a funeral for God's sake😠

[mianta]

Whatever is thought about this procession, Charles and Diana's boys were in perfect step with each other. May God help them through this period of horrible loss. 🙏❤🙏

[jocelynhenrichs]

Could you leave this family alone and let them work things out. Harry is a free spirit and his own person. He is like his mom. Leave them in peace so they can mourn there grandfather.

[angelafeldman]

Whats there to speculate?Charles, camillia, Anne and brothers, then grandchildren, others in family and queen.

[freeamerican]

Leave Harry and William alone as brothers have disagreements most times and that is the key they will get back in time as long as the media stay out of it

[JANJOHNSON]

Only God knows the outcome, His plan, His story. God bless the Queen. She is fantastic in every way. I pray she finds comfort in the love she and her husband shared over a lifetime of devotion and duty to the United Kingdom!

Harry will make his mind up and I pray for him.

[bornicks]

Peter is not a Prince or an HRH, he is showing respect by walking a step behind his cousins

[carolineblake]

Of course they where thinking of their mother, who wasn’t, I know I was 🙏

[donnabbb]

I have read elsewhere that Peter Phillips walked slightly behing William and Harry due to ranking of closeness to the throne. William and Harry are closer in succession to the throne than Peter Phillips and he was apparently following protocol since the order of procession was from highest ranking to lower.

[lesliehall]

Sorry have you missed the fact that at Diana's funeral, harry and william, s uncle walked in between them, so all your logic is crap, if you cant even see that

[jennifer]

Disagreement occurs in every family. Leave them alone. Give them room to mourn their grandfather.

[destiny]

Assumptions.... Assumptions...Assumptions... Who gives a hoot??? Prince Philip is dead and may he deepest condolences to the Queen and the rest of the family..

[jenniferarnold]

But... did y’all not see the end? They walked out together talking.

[audreybudal]

Please leave it to the Queen to sort her family The Queen is grieving and need respect from you all. It broken my heart when I saw how the queen was in pain for her husband

[sandibeu]

William and Harry having issues shouldn't even be mentioned. This was about Prince Phillip and should have been ONLY about Prince Phillip! Personally I'm sick of hearing about Harry and the narcissist! Both try to come off as mature and put apon but my God its like being back in Freaking high school... enough already grow up!

[cremGeoff]

Yes, give them a break FFS...find something better to do.. you sad sad people

[anilasharma]
