Speaking on behalf of Betfair Bingo, body language expert Darren Stanton started by saying that it has been “a very gradual process over many years for Camilla’s elevation to becoming Queen”.
In terms of her relationship with King Charles, there has always been a “deep connection between them”.
Darren observed that they are not tactile like Prince William and Princess Kate “because they come from a different era”.
The expert claimed that King Charles grew up “right in the thick of rigid royal protocols that Queen Elizabeth inherited from her father”.
Now, King Charles keeps these protocols in place, “and one of them is that he and Camilla don’t tend to show any public displays of affection”.
However, “there are other ways in which we can tell what kind of relationship dynamics are going on”.
For example, Camilla is “Charles’s rock and very often on the walkarounds and civil engagements, she is there to fully support him and is never too far away from him,” Darren claimed.
The expert suggested that Camilla also gives him “great strength” and he “likes her to be very close by as she’s a strong woman with a strong personality”.
Darren observed: “It’s clear that at times when he’s looking a little nervous, she’s always there right by his side – she is the calm one in the crisis. Camilla keeps him grounded – and as Prince Phillip was to the Queen, she is Charles’s sidekick to keep him on track.”
The body language guru claimed that Camilla’s “confident” tell-tale gestures are very similar to those used by the late Queen Elizabeth.
He commented: “From a body language point of view, eye contact with these two is very important. Camilla has great eye contact. During engagements, she walks with her hands by her side, which is quite an authoritative posture.”
This is very similar to Queen Elizabeth II, “who walked in an almost identical way,” he said. “Not only that, there are similarities in the way they hold their handbags from the placement on the creases of their forearms.”
Camilla also stands with her hands behind her back quite a lot. Darren claimed: “Confidence oozes out from her, and it’s something that we don’t see in Charles or his son William.”
When Camilla walks “her posture is often straight and upright, as opposed to Charles who can be a bit hunched over,” according to Darren.
The Queen Consort has “this authenticity where she is genuinely interested in what people are saying which, again, was always the case with the late Queen”.
He added: “I think the combination of hands behind her back, great eye contact, genuine smiles – they all go together to make this wonderfully confident person.”
