Prince Harry showed "anger, resentment, and righteousness" in ITV interview, body language expert says
In an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby that aired Sunday night in the UK, the Duke of Sussex did not shy away from revealing himself.
But while the Arcewell co-founder said he has been feeling very strong about himself lately, one body language expert, watching the interview, believes he is still accumulating a lot of difficult emotions when it comes to dealing with his family, especially King Charles and Prince William
"He is a very strong man.
"There was an air of tragedy in Harry's body language throughout this long and deeply revealing interview," Judy James told the Mirror.
"He verbally affirmed that he was 'the happiest I've ever been' and that he had 'made peace with a lot of what happened.'
"In true American fashion, he claimed to be in a 'good head space' and said that any discussion with his family now would not have any 'lingering effects.'"

The Duke reiterated how seeing a therapist had helped him overcome some of the extremely difficult experiences he had lived through. But, of course, that does not necessarily make the hurt he feels go away.
"But the duke we've seen so far was using conflicting body language signals, so many of his emotions still seemed raw," James explained. [His body language, the way he spoke, the way he moved away from more difficult topics or used less specific arguments, suggested anger, resentment, and a sense of justice. But there were also moments of spontaneous leaks of love, humor, and even fun."[15
According to James, "Overall, he appeared to be a man who craved the love of his father and brother, whose memories had triggered his child state, but who also carried great resentment toward the many people he felt had done wrong to him, his beloved mother and wife."
"And it was these contradictory messages that made Harry's body language difficult to watch and sometimes 'heartbreaking'."
The Duke's interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes also aired in the US on Sunday, with many more incendiary revelations.
These interviews were intended to promote the royal memoir, Spare, which will be released on January 10.
