King Charles lauded for ‘subtle power play’ after visiting Donald Trump

King Charles is lauded for handling Donald Trump well during his visit to America.

His Majesty, who made a 4-day trip to the U.S, used his soft skills with Trump amid stressful relationship with the U.K.

Speaking about His Majesty, body language expert Bruce Durham from Huddle Culture tells Mirror: “What we’re seeing here is a subtle power play, and the sequence matters. As King Charles exits the vehicle, he does two things in quick succession. First, as he stands, he adjusts his jacket button. Now, realistically, that button will already have been checked multiple times. So this isn’t functional - it’s what we’d call a pacifying behaviour, a small self-soothing action as he transitions into a very public moment.

“But almost immediately, that shifts. With his right hand - specifically his right hand - he opens his posture, as if to say, ‘I am here.’ This is what’s known as ventral exposure: moving the arms away from the torso, exposing the vital organs. In many contexts, that signals a lack of threat or a sense of ease,” he added.
