There was no reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, a body language expert revealed on Thursday.
Judi James claimed in an interview with The Daily Mirror that the Prince and his wife, Meghan Markle, were “alienated” by the sovereign at their last gathering with the royal family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were photographed walking behind Charles at Buckingham Palace before the Queen’s funeral and James labeled the interaction “hard-hearted and unpleasant.”
“These photographs of Harry and Meghan with Charles at the Queen’s funeral seem to make Harry’s subsequent disloyalty to his father seem even more hard-hearted and unpleasant,” the expert told the outlet.
She said that “the sense of alienation is obvious” as Charles walked ahead with his head “bowed in what looks like grief.
“There is no sense of family huddling or even communication although the non-verbal messages look powerful.”
James previously told Page Six that Markle offered her husband “silent support” at the September 2022 funeral.
“She seemed to offer a continuation of that silent support to her husband while sitting and walking with a look of dignity tinged with sadness.”
Relations between Harry and his father have been frosty for several years and were exacerbated with the publication of Harry’s 2022 bombshell memoir “Spare.”

In it, he accused his father of making “sadistic” jibes about Harry’s “real” father, a curious joke as speculation swirled for years that Princess Diana’s former lover Major James Hewitt was the prince’s biological father.
“Pa liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He’d always end with a burst of philosophizing … Who knows if I’m really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I’m even your real father?” Harry wrote in his tell-all tome.
“He’d laugh and laugh, though it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumor circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumor was Major Hewitt’s flaming ginger hair, but another cause was sadism.”
Worse, Charles was named as one of the racist royals in the Dutch version of Omid Scobie’s new book, “Endgame,” alongside Harry’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
They both reportedly questioned the skin color of the then-unborn Prince Archie.
Page Six exclusively reported that Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, who resigned from senior royal duties in January 2020 and moved to California, are attempting to patch things up with the King.
“Harry and Meghan’s new strategy is reconciliation,” a source told us, adding that Harry turning 40 this year has made him aware of how quickly time passes.
The Sussexes called Charles last November on his 75th birthday — the first call in six months — with their children, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, even singing over the phone for the king.
