<p id=”par-1_82″>King Charles led the U.K. in the annual Remembrance Day service to honor and commemorate those who lost their lives in conflict. Several working royals were on hand as well including Prince William and Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/”>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) along with Prince Edward and the Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. However, Queen Camilla (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/camilla-parker-bowles-was-fired-from-her-posh-job-before-she-married-prince-charles.html/?swcfpc=1″>formerly Camilla Parker Bowles</a>) did not attend as she’s recovering from a chest infection and skipped the weekend Remembrance events on the advice of her doctor. </p>
<p id=”par-2_21″>Now a body language expert has analyzed the king’s appearances and likened those to a “fish out of water.” Here’s why.</p>

<p id=”par-3_67″>Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” Stanton said the king looked “lost” without having his wife present for the Remembrance services.</p>

<p id=”par-4_111″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.spingenie.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Spin Genie</a>, the expert explained: “Charles looks like a lost sheep without Camilla. He’s always looking around for her, she is his rock, his support. He looks genuinely happy to be at the Royal Albert Hall, but his body language would suggest that he feels like a fish out of water, with Camilla not there he feels as if half of him is missing. He is leaning in towards himself and lacks typical signs of confidence, like a strong posture or his shoulders back. Instead, he locks his hands in front of him, a sign of self-reassurance that signifies the slight unease he feels internally when solo.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>Stanton previously talked about how the monarch has shown specific gestures people do when they are nervous or lacking confidence in certain situations. </p>
<p id=”par-6_50″>He said: “King Charles’ key gestures are to do with when he’s not feeling confident, when he’s a little unsure of himself or when he’s looking for Queen Camilla. He tends to get a little stressed when Camilla<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-gets-stressed-whenever-camilla-isnt-in-his-eyeline-body-language-expert-claims.html/”> isn’t in his eyeline</a> because she gives him a lot of strength.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_27″>Stanton noted that while Camilla wasn’t able to make the events another strong woman in King Charles’ life, his sister Princess Anne, was there to “support” him.</p>
<p id=”par-8_80″>“Princess Anne is there to support Charles and her presence helps ease this discomfort he feels without Camilla. So much so, that to an extent, he still appears his usual jovial self, cracking jokes while engaging with other guests,” Stanton shared. “He still shows a willingness to take part and be present, but he clearly feels a little out of sorts without Camilla. He’s smiling here but there’s a notable hint of sadness that Camilla isn’t able to join him.”</p>
