Expert Calls Out Major Shift in King Charles and Queen Camilla's Body Language

He said, “You can see just complete happiness and joy painted across their faces. They are happy to be together, happy to be in Scotland for Easter and clearly thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Italy. Camilla’s face, especially, was showing an incredibly genuine and engaged smile in all the photographs of them arriving at the church. You could see strong smile lines and crows feet, there was also a real twinkle in their eyes; all signs of real happiness."

Stanton continued, “What you see is what you get with Camilla, and her face is always very engaged. Charles is also looking very relaxed and comfortable. His shoulders are loose and down, as are his facial muscles. I think this shows how happy he is to be in Scotland with the family and may suggest that he feels rejuvenated by the couple's successful trip to Italy.”

As seen in the following snap, the queen shows rare PDA by casually placing her hand on King Charles's hand as they exit the church, indicating their close bond and comfort level.

Stanton also spotted the king reaching for Camilla’s hand, noting that this reveals how much he depends on his partner. He explained, "This is a subconscious gesture from him showing he is leaning on her for support and wants her near him at all times. This is a testament to the strength of their bond, they are each other’s rock." 

He also noted a major change, adding, "The reach for the hand also shows how Charles is becoming more and more comfortable with subtle public displays of affection. I think this is a sign the family as a whole are slowly becoming more relaxed when it comes to traditional royal protocol, following the lead of his sons."

The royal couple donned coordinating tartan outfits for the occasion, and during the service, they enjoyed a new piece of music, "The Weather of My Being" by composer Paul Mealor, which was performed to mark their milestone wedding anniversary.

Here's to more anniversaries and sweet PDA moments.
