KEY POINTS

  • Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's reunion was a phenomenal display of unity, according to Judi James
  • The body language expert added that as an intentional gesture, it implied unity and bonding prompted by mutual grief
  • James pointed out Prince William's and Prince Harry's mirroring gestures, saying they showed their strong subliminal bond

Prince William and Prince Harry remain bonded despite the alleged years of conflict.

The Prince of Wales invited his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle to join him and his wife Kate Middleton when they greeted the crowd mourning following Queen Elizabeth's passing. Body language expert Judi James, who regularly appears on high-profile TV and radio programs across many channels, weighed in on King Charles' two sons' gestures during their recent public reunion.

The four royals put their differences aside and wore coordinated black outfits. They arrived and left Windsor Castle 40 minutes after greeting the crowd who gathered at the place.

The sighting was a "phenomenal display of unity," James said, The Sun reported. "As an intentional gesture, it implies unity and some bonding prompted by mutual grief."

She also pointed out a specific piece of body language she noticed between Prince Harry and Prince William that hinted at their brotherly love.

"The most telling body language though is the intense mirroring rituals between William and Harry," James explained. "Their poses and gestures are often identical, hinting and strong subliminal bonds that exist despite all the rifts."

She believed the small gestures could be signs or "baby steps" in their reconciliation.

"Arriving and leaving together signals proximity and shared conversations and although there are no overkill displays of hugging or touch these do look like baby steps that build on Charles's declaration of love for his youngest son and his wife," she added.

Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The heir to the throne believed it "was an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family," an anonymous source told People.

An insider also told the outlet that the security was not expecting both couples at the walkabout. However, royals fans were delighted to see the foursome together.

"Great. William, Harry, Kate and Meghan together! This makes me so happy!" one wrote.

"This is exactly what we all needed to see right now, and I'm sure the Queen would be delighted to see Princes William and Harry together along with Kate and Meghan," another added.
