Body Language of Diana Princess of Wales with Prince Charles and Prince William p


Body Language of Diana Princess of Wales with Prince Charles and Prince William posing on the lawn of Government House in Auckland.
 What’s stunning about this body language is how far Prince Charles is sitting away from his wife and child. He is out of arms reach to give comfort or play though he is siting cross-legged like a little boy, his hands that one would expect to be touching his baby son are instead held one in his lap and another oddly held low palm up showing he doesn’t know what to do. Princess Diane is holding her son up arms out to show him off to the cameras her focus on him, not the cameras. Giving her son attention.

Prince Charles and Diana body language on their honeymoon.


Prince Charles and Diana's body language on their honeymoon. Did the camera catch her filling a cold chill that made her go into a reflexive turtle protection pose or is it Prince Charles arm around her and hand resting on her shoulder? I do see her squinted eyes and the small turn down of her lips that say she is not just cold but afraid. His gaze and twisted mouth with puckered chin show his conflicted feeling. He wants to look calm but he is showing suppressed anger. Was It too many cameras that bothered them? I wish she was less afraid and more comforted by him here.

Prince Charles and Diana's body language during their engagement.



Prince Charles and Diana's body language during their engagement.  
I remember reading the body language in this photo all those years ago. Her gaze is so purposefully away from him, with hooded eyebrows down and eye so filled with sadness you can feel the tears in them. And notice how she holds her shoulders up to ears and her arms are straight down tense and glued to her sides in a classic Freeze response to danger. She may be fearful of the cameras, but you notice hoe Prince Charles is not leaning in or reaching out in comfort but also holding his arms to his sides and not showing affection.

Body Language in the official Engagement Photo of Prince Charles and Diana


Body Language in the official Engagement Photo of Prince Charles and Diana.  See how demure her downward titled head, partially closed eyes and shy smile show her deference to Prince Charles? Though he has a wonderful head positioning into the intimate “zone of space” with Diana that is in an unusual zone for him when he is with her,  he holds one his hands over the other belying his nervousness about showing that intimacy.

The body language in the courtship of Prince Charles and Lady Diana


Here is a piece I did for the media

The body language in the courtship of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. See how Lady Diana gently and passively rests her hand palm down in the crook of Prince Charles’s arm? In a subtle attempt to make the connection less intimate he hides his hand inside his jacket. We also see his point directly at Diana with a wry grin saying, “Look at the sweet girl I am with.” while she shyly bows her head.
