Prince William & Prince George’s Body Language Spoke Volumes During Their Latest Appearance

It was especially noticeable when the family stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the flypast, following the military procession. The pair stood side-by-side and used the future monarch's signature move: crossing his hands in front of his body. If you recall, Prince William has used this gesture during several outings, including his surprise trip to Northern Ireland and the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall.

FYI, folding the hands in front of the body is often seen as a sign of discomfort and considered a protective move. In this case, however, it's likely the father-son duo wanted to maintain a reserved and formal posture out of respect, considering the occasion.

The pair was quite invested in the fly past, which featured the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows and historic military aircraft. As seen in the above pic, their reactions are nearly identical, where both lean to their left in anticipation with intense concentration on their faces.

Additionally, I noticed a similarity in how they walked during the military procession. Both are seen looking down as they walk with the rest of the family, though also maintaining a confident posture as they take big strides.

The family's appearance comes just a few weeks after William and George enjoyed some father-son bonding in Paris, where they watched William's favorite soccer team, Aston Villa, play against Paris Saint-Germain at the UEFA Champions League. Naturally, the pair had matching expressions whenever they celebrated Aston Villa's goals with the rest of the crowd.

Per People, Prince William chatted with TNT Sports and mentioned that it was a rare opportunity for him and George.

He explained, "It’s been 43 years since anything like this has happened in my generation as a Villa fan, and I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition. I hope it's not 43 years until the next time it happens, but I think those memories are really important to create and to bring him along tonight is a big deal for me."
