Low-effort and barely visible there are no teeth showing and only a slight up-turn of the mouth. <br>'Looking at the other guests and their expressions this looks suspiciously like the moment the photographer yelled ‘Smile!' and for the normally-grinning Harry there are hints of a lack of enthusiasm or open approval here.'<br>DUKE 'AVOIDED GOING BEYOND POLITE' TO CAMILLA AT TROOPING OF THE COLOUR IN 2015<br> (image: ) The body language expert said Prince Harry's 'brow was furrowed' and smile was 'non-existent' at Trooping the Colour in 2015 <br>The body language expert explained: 'Harry is still adopting a polite and dutiful approach to his step-mother here, bending low to listen to her as she points and appears to ask a question. <br>'Her body language suggests she might be expecting and used to this level of politeness from Harry.<br>'She looks relaxed and doesn't seem to be working the pose or putting in extra effort to communicate with him as she might if she felt she had a tricky relationship.<br>'Again though, Harry seems to avoid going beyond the levels of polite duty. <br>'His brow is furrowed and his smile is non-existent when his signature way of communicating at these events was always with humour. There is no eye contact, either.'<br>HARRY IS 'SIGNALLING DISTRESS AND ALIENATION' AFTER MARRYING MEGHAN IN 2018 <br> (image: ) Meanwhile the body language expert also pointed out there was sizeable gap between Camilla and Charles and Harry and Meghan at the event to mark the centenary of the Royal Air Force in 2018 <br>By the time the couple attended the centenary of the Royal Air Force, tensions appeared to be more obvious between the Duke and Duchess. <br>Judi revealed: 'At this point the signals of alienation are much more marked, along with Harry's signals of distress. <br>'This is now a man seen looking worried or haunted rather than a man creating and enjoying fun. <br>'The line-up contains a huge spatial gap between Camilla and Harry and as Charles speaks to his son, both Harry and Meghan stand stiffly to attention, turning just their heads in a gesture of acknowledgment rather than affection.' <br>The two couples also attended a rare public engagement to mark The Prince of Wales' 70th Birthday patronage celebration.<br>However Judi said tensions appeared to be bubbling under the surface at the event. <br>Judi explained: 'The signals of simmering unhappiness and even resentment or anxiety are appearing obvious in Harry's body language.... Here though he seems to be glowering in the direction of his father and Camilla.<br>'He performs a tight mouth clamp that suggests anger, as well as a frown. His bounce has gone and his hands are clasped behind his back.' <br> (image: ) Meanwhile elsewhere, Judi suggested Prince Harry showed 'signals of simmering unhappiness and resentment' in 2018 towards Prince Charles and Camilla <br>CAMILLA SHOWS SIGNS OF INNER TENSION AT ARCHIE CHRISTENING IN 2019 <br>Meanwhile according to Judi, while Harry appeared relaxed and happy at his son's christening in 2019, Camilla showed signs of 'inner tension.'<br>She explained: 'Harry has Camilla sitting at his side, which should suggest some closeness or warmth but which might have been down to protocol. <br>'If she had stood at the back with Doria she would have appeared to be taking the place of grandmother to baby Archie.<br>'Like Harry, Camilla looks relaxed and happy apart from her tell-tale thumb-steepling that is often a sign of inner tension or anxiety.' <br> (image: ) Meanwhile according to Judi, while Harry appeared relaxed and happy at his son's christening in 2019, Camilla showed signs of 'inner tension' <br> Yesterday, Brown said Prince Charles' estranged son is likely to voice his frustration in his memoirs, which are set to be published later this year. <br>Brown, who penned the Diana Chronicles in 2006, said: 'William was disgusted about Meghan's attack on Kate because she can't answer back. But that's nothing compared to how furious he's going to be when this book comes out.<br>'Because Harry's not going to go after the Queen, she's sacrosanct. And he probably won't go after Kate, whom he's very fond of. But he will go after Charles and Camilla and maybe William. <br>'And that's so unhelpful to them all at this particular moment; for William that's the big cloud in their relationship right now.' <br>Brown, who reported on the royal family for years as Tatler's editor-in-chief and Vanity Fair's editor, said that Harry never warmed up to Camilla. <br>In her upcoming book, the author has quoted an unnamed courtier who told her than when Harry was eventually talked into being in the same room as Camilla, he would remain silent and shoot her angry looks. <br> (image: ) The royal author has claimed the Duke of Sussex is likely to criticise his father and step-mother in his upcoming biography <br>She said that Prince William has grown to accept his father's relationship with Camilla, but added the Duke of Sussex is 'very angry' that the Duchess of Cornwall will become Queen Consort when Prince Charles ascends to the throne. <br>William and Harry's relationship first came under strain in the lead up to Megxit and has slowly worsened in the months since, with the Duke of Cambridge reportedly furious about his brother's repeated attacks on the Royal Family. <br><div class="art-ins mol-factbox floatRHS femail" data-version="2" id="mol-21ac3130-b983-11ec-a8bd-fd401a94bb23" website Harry appeared 'awkward' during public appearances with Camilla
