Prince William and Prince Harry couldn’t have looked more different as the brothers stepped out in public following their father’s cancer diagnosis.
The Prince of Wales, who is president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), attended this year’s BAFTAs without his wife after Princess Kate was forced to withdraw from the glitzy event as she recovers from surgery. William looked downcast as he arrived at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.
His appearance comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently spent time in Canada as part of the Invictus Games countdown. They enjoyed taking part in plenty of activities and were even seen having fun on a double date with Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato. Body language expert Judi James said Harry and William acted very different on their outings.
Speaking about William’s BAFTAs appearance, she told The Mirror: “This was a royal ‘Ken without his Barbie’ evening for William who looked painfully alone without Kate beside him at what is usually one of the most dazzling appearances of the year for the couple.
“There are some signals here that hint at the pressure William has been under with both his wife and his father’s recent illnesses. His brow looks furrowed and there seem to be dark smudges under his tired-looking eyes.
“When he smiles it involves a puckering of the muscles of the lips and his teeth look slightly clenched.” She also said Williams rubbing his hands when talking about the Princess of Wales suggested “inner tension or anxiety”.
