Prince Harry appeared to be "uneasy" and "clowning around" during his most recent polo match in Singapore as he searched for the same attention he received as a royal, it has been claimed.
This conclusion comes after body language expert Judi James analysed two clips of Prince Harry six years apart at the same polo match to see if there was a difference in his behaviour. One, after this match at the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup this month and another at the same tournament in June of 2017 before his marriage to Meghan Markle.
Judi James told The Mirror: “A lot has happened in Harry’s life during the six years between these appearances at the Singapore polo tournament and it has had a powerful impact on his body language."
The body expert claimed that in historic clips Prince Harry's body language stood out for all the right reasons (HOW HWEE YOUNG/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock)Analysing the historic clip of Harry, Judi said: "Harry is very much his mother’s son, mimicking Diana’s charisma as he goes on a hosted tour. His bearing is royal but his gestures and eye expressions are deeply caring and concerned" she added: "Like his mother, he looks aware that his presence alone can make a difference but also that the display of tenderness will steer others towards the charity."
The body language expert pointed out that Prince Harry's hands were gently clasped in front of him as he used "active listening signals" as he stood surrounded by smiling faces. Judi said his body language at the tournament stood out to her for "all the right reasons."

Judi said: "He seems to be treated like an equal now and he also appears to have to vie for the kind of high levels of attention he is used to by playing pranks. He looks so happy to be back in the more macho world of slapping high fives and handshakes, although also rather uneasy at the less synchronised choreography."
In the clip, Prince Harry was seen waiting to be told where to go and used some "truncated gestures." Judi explained that his body language suggested "he is unsure or even dithering in a way that doesn’t tend to happen when you’re a royal." Prince Harry then accepted the award for his team instead of his pal Nachos Figueras.
While Harry accepted the trophy he turned his back to get attention before posing for a snap with Nachos. When comparing the two polo players Judi said: "Nachos seems to be adopting the more grown up and even regal poses here, while Harry clowns around, even seeming to blow his friend a kiss at the end of the clip.”
