Body language expert reveals truth behind Queen and Prince Philip's relationship
A body language expert has revealed truth behind Queen and Prince Philip’s relationship, based on visual cues the couple has given off in famous royal photos.
The couple, who celebrated the 70th wedding anniversary last November, are notoriously proper when they’re in the public eye, but body language expert Patti Wood believes there are some subtle indicators of intimacy between the two.
In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Wood noted even just the manner in which the two hold hands speaks volumes about the nature of their relationship.
"It's more formal than interlocking fingers but it's unique to them. It's their way of reassurance and comfort,” Wood said.
"In her older years, the Queen holds hands with the Prince for assistance as opposed to affection.”
But this doesn’t mean the pair aren’t well and truly in love. Body language expert Blanca Cobb told Good Housekeeping the manner in which the Prince is constantly looking at his Queen, should be seen as an indicator of love.
"When you look beyond the royal formality of Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth's public appearances, you clearly see Prince Phillip's love and adoration for his Queen," Cobb said.
