Take the first image in the slideshow, for example. The king walks with his hand in his pocket, a strikingly casual moment for the royal. Talk about being comfortable in his environment.
This comfy confidence continues in the subsequent slides as he shakes hands with those in attendance at the service. In one picture, his smile is a mile wide, showing just how at ease he is and how much fun he is having in his public facing role. In the last slide, the king leans in, a surprising showing of comfort and familiarity.
While the traditional image of a monarch might be one of formality, the king’s body language is the complete opposite. He is relaxed, unceremonious and informal.
This same easygoing nature was clear earlier in the week when King Charles presented TV and radio host Claudia Winkleman with an MBE (a British honor standing for Member of the Order of the British Empire).
