Prince William shows 'inner tension' as he 'mirrors Harry' in doc | Royal | News | Express.co.uk

Prince William has shown "inner tension" as he "mirrors Prince Harry" in his new two-part ITV documentary, according to a body language expert.

'Prince William: We Can End Homelessness' aired on October 30 and 31 on ITV1, which aired a year after launching his Homewards campaign.

At the beginning of the first episode on Wednesday, William uttered Harry's name as he spoke of their late mother taking them to visit homeless shelters during their childhood.

He said: "My mother took me to the Passage, she took Harry and I both there."

Body language expert Judi James told GB News about the Prince's appearance: "William adopts a relaxed, low-drama air as he name-checks his brother in public for the first time in ages.

"But there is a clue to inner tension as he enunciates Harry's name. In a bid to sound casual, he slides over it quickly, making it more of a 'Huury' than a 'Harry'.

"His body language when he appears on-screen looks open and rather honest as he re-lives the past via his current delivery, sounding and looking almost like the boy he was then as he describes his thoughts and memories in detail.

"When the clip changes, there is a longer piece of William explaining his thoughts about the homeless, only this time speaking with passion."

She claimed that he appears to mirror his younger brother with his body language, adding: "What is fascinating here is his gesticulation. This is the first time we have seen William sharing the same traits as his brother.

"Both William and Harry seem to have developed a way of speaking that is accompanied by some rapid ongoing illustrative gesticulation to define their words in a kind of mime. Both brothers now act out every word they are saying with matching hand gestures.

"When Harry has been using it, it has often looked like overkill that might have been prompted by speaking to a US audience, but William is mirroring the trait here."

The brothers, who were once known to share a close bond, have been at loggerheads for some time - especially since Harry decided to step down as a senior working royal in 2020.
