King Charles was officially crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6 in a ceremony that went off without any real hitch, although lip reader Jeremy Freeman revealed that Charles proclaimed he was “bored” at his own Coronation.
According to Freeman, Charles’ frustration got the better of him as he and Queen Camilla sat in their carriage outside the Abbey.
In another revealing moment picked up by Freeman, Charles muttered to the queen as the royals took to the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the ceremony at the Abbey, “I shall be glad when it’s all over.”
This may have been due to the Archbishop of Canterbury taking an age to get the crown onto his head during his crowning moment or to seeing the “grim reaper”.
Prince Harry returned to the UK to be among his family after criticizing them in his book.
Harry had been relegated to the background of his father’s big day, finding himself on the third row.
Body language experts said Harry “showed signs of pride towards his father,” but another expert said he “fixed his gaze” on his aunt the Princess Royal Anne in the row ahead of him because he was “nervous.”
Harry later admitted he was “sad” in a revealing chat during the Coronation before quickly jetting off home.
During the Coronation, Harry did not appear to have an exchange with his brother William.
Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, was spotted asking Prince Harry for a “meeting” to which he replied: “It’s sad.
I’m fed up, I’ve tried talking to him.”
In exclusive body language analysis for the Daily Star, Adrianne Carter – known as the Face Whisperer – revealed the day was tough for the Princess of Wales too.
The “stressed” princess was left managing her two “fidgeting and bored” children on the sidelines.
Kate wasn’t getting much parental support from William either.
The new king’s “rueful expression” when he had to sign a declaration, alongside Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Wellby, summed up his feelings on the day.
King Charles‘ pen frustrations were also noted by Carter, who said: “More Pengate as the King signs, we see him pull a few rueful expressions as if he’s not happy with the pen or ink.”
Meanwhile, the pubs around the king’s Coronation procession route from The Mall to Westminster Abbey were choc-a-block during the crowing, and the industry is expected to experience a huge uptick as Brits continue to celebrate.
