Harry & William ‘under pressure’ ahead of first appearance since row went public
Prince Harry and Prince William will be “under pressure” when they make their joint public appearance this weekend, a body language expert has told Daily Star Online.
The brothers are set to attend the annual Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph this Sunday in the wake of Harry’s bombshell admission of a feud between the pair.
They will step out at the event to pay their respects, but a royal commentator has told us all eyes will be on the royal brothers in the wake of Harry’s tell-all interview.
The Prince, along with wife Meghan Markle, recently stunned the world with their comments in the ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan: An African Journey”.

Meghan Markle dropped the confession that she was “not OK” and struggling to cope with recent criticism of her from the press and public.
She appeared to be on the verge of tears as she said: “It’s not enough to just survive something, that’s not the point of life.”
But Harry also spilled all in the interview, confirming the long-running claims of a feud between him and his brother Wills.
He admitted the pair were on “different paths” and that they have “good days” as well as “bad days”.

"But look we are brothers, we will always be brothers," Harry said in the documentary.
"We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him and, as I know, he will always be there for me.
"We don't see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly.
"The majority of the stuff is created out of nothing but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days."

Harry and Wills to be seen together for first time since 'different paths' admission
In the documentary, Harry even went as far as admitting he and Meghan have thought of moving out of the UK.
And with this weekend being the brothers’ first appearance since Harry’s revelations, a body language expert reckons the siblings will be feeling the pressure.
Judi James told Daily Star Online: “These two men have put themselves under the public microscope by firstly denying a rift in the face of many body language clues to the contrary and then Harry admitting to some problems during his emotional documentary interview.
“The ideal solution might have been for them to have put in a couple of casual public appearances together prior to the event, which would not only have helped break the ice for them but allowed royal fans to see the PR message of ‘business as usual’, which would have meant the focus of Sunday could go back onto the veterans and their families.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry leaving Royal Family would be 'seismic'
“The problem for the princes is that if they don’t appear together chatting it will prompt further speculation but if they do they will need to employ casual-looking body language under what will probably feel like the pressure of scrutiny.
“Kate is adept at smiling under pressure and also mending bridges with her body language displays but are Harry and William? Add to this the fact that the day lends itself to more formal and sombre body language, which is very much what we saw between the brothers last year.
“Their most recent outings together seem to have involved ignoring or avoiding one another. Thanks to Harry’s interview about feeling vulnerable and under pressure though it would be a huge relief for royal fans if they could see some genuine signs of support and the kind of unconditional love that Harry spoke of between them on display in public again.”
Brittani Barger, the deputy editor at Royal Central, told Daily Star Online she, too, reckons all eyes will be on the “feuding” brothers.

“I do think all eyes will be on them after the comments Harry made,” she said.
“I think it's natural that everyone will be looking to see how they interact after Harry admitted there was a rift.
“I think they will both put on a brave face. I don't think it will be awkward simply because they are brothers and they are used to the cameras being on them.
“I think they will be friendly and all to try to quieten down the media and public about their relationship.”
