King Charles is praised for his attention to detail by a body language expert.

In a resurfaced clip from His Majesty’s outing with Prince William and Prince Harry back in 2003, it is observed how he pays special attention to his younger son.

Speaking about their skiing trip to Wales in 2003, body language expert Judi James notes: "Charles's physical awkwardness might be legendary but in clips like this one he appears to be giving Harry a unique form of watchful attention that is littered with subtle but powerful displays of fondness.”

James told the Daily Mail: "We have Charles creating a preferential form of proximity with his youngest son, both when he sits with one boy on either side and then very emphatically when another player joins them and Charles sits next to Harry, mirroring him and chatting quietly."

James continued: "It is clearly Harry who gets Charles's prime and then exclusive attention in this video while William appears to have to work to dominate the spotlight or break into and take over the conversation."
