A body language expert has broken down the subtle signals Prince William and Harry displayed during their reunion on what would have been their mother’s 60th birthday.
The brothers unveiled a statue of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden on Friday morning (AEST).

They were seen laughing and talking with guests before pulling a green cloth off the statue.
“Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better,” the siblings said on Thursday.
But it’s what wasn’t voiced that spoke volumes about the brothers coming together again.
Body language expert Judi James told The Sun there were subtle signs over the course of the event that showed the brothers prioritised their roles as “Diana’s sons” rather than as royals.
“Emerging side-by-side their smiles did appear slightly over-worked at first but one very telling trait was how their body language was mirrored,” she said.
“This kind of mimicry suggests strong subliminal bonds, hinting that old ties still bind them despite their current rifts.
“Harry’s hand reached to touch his wedding ring, which is a self-comfort gesture suggesting some inner tension although it also hinted how much he sees his family as a source of support.
“Apart from that and some self-touches to check clothing from both brothers, their overall postures looked remarkably relaxed and more so as the unveiling went on.”
She added that they “appeared to work as a team” once they got to the unveiling.
William was 15 and Harry 12 when the limousine carrying their mother and her lover Dodi al-Fayed crashed in a tunnel in Paris as it sped away from photographers chasing it.
Footage from the unveiling ceremony showed William and Harry talking together, with no sign of the rows that have so clouded their relationship in recent years that the once-close siblings now barely speak to each other.
Since giving up royal duties last year, Harry has launched some barbed attacks on his family and the royal institutions, including an accusation of racism that he and his wife Meghan made in an interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey. Media reports have said the claim infuriated William.
The brothers last saw each other in April at the funeral of their grandfather Prince Philip, after which they are reported to have argued.
