Prince Charles ‘ignores’ Camilla in public -expert claims he ‘doesn’t want to be upstaged’
Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall make several public engagements together. Body language expert Judi James, who has nearly two decades of experience analysing human behaviour, commented on how the future King and Queen Consort interacted with one another.
Judi appeared on GB News last month to discuss Charles and Camilla’s appearances across the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
She said: “His [Charles’] treatment of her in public I find appalling, I don’t know what it’s like behind the scenes.
“He ignores her in almost every clip we’ve seen and Camilla quite rightly is very nervous, she’s obviously still a bit worried about public acceptance.
“He doesn’t help her out at all; he tends to come out – when you saw them on the balcony, he walked out, as ‘I’m the next King’ and she had to edge around him, dance around him, and you can see her hands begin to shake.

“Dancing around her husband and seeming to try to second-guess his movements so she can fall into place looks lacking in generosity on his part.
“Charles is clearly happy to perform PDAs,” the expert commented. “He will hug Zara, he blew a kiss to Kate and he made a huge performance out of kissing Queen Letizia’s hand in the most gallant and devoted way recently.
“But it seems less so with Camilla, appearing to prefer much subtler signals of affection.
“It’s possible to quote protocol when it comes to Charles walking ahead of his wife but as he proved himself when he divorced Diana, royal rules are his to break and I’m sure no one would be complaining if he used the more even status and openly affectionate body language of William and Kate.” ‘
