Body Language of Diana and Prince Charles

Body Language of Diana and Prince Charles 1986 On a ski vacation after Diana has already strayed and Charles is rekindling with Camilla we see two people out of sync with each other. They are not looking at the camera, Charles face looks sunken and slightly haunted and Prices Diana is looking away with holding her skis between them that acts as a barrier.

There's a LOT going on in this photo with Diana (pregnant w/Harry) and Charles and Mannakee, her lover

There's a LOT of body language to decipher in this photo with Diana (pregnant w/Harry) and Charles and Mannakee, her lover.  Actually if we didn’t know what was going on. That Diana’s love was here between them we would only see that Princess Diana with her arms tightly folded and feet planted father apart in fighting mode than her normal dainty feet close to each others stance is suppressing her anger and Prince Charles with his left foot forward and left arm outstretched is suppression his desire to walk or more aptly as his foot is raised and slightly lean forward ride his horse away from this situation.

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

 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.
