Body language experts claim there was a “moment of tension” from King Charles III as he focused on Queen Camilla during their visit to Scotland.
The monarch and Queen consort arrived at St Giles’s Cathedral in Edinburgh to celebrate a National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication yesterday (July 5).
The pair were met by masses of angry protesters, holding signs, and chanting “Not My King”.

But body language expert Judi James told the Express that the protesters has “no visible effect” on the King.
She said: "This more intimate service presented not just the King, as the Coronation had, but a very even-status placing of Kate, William, Charles and Camilla.
"This suggested a message of continuity and the enduring status of the monarchy.
"It also made the service more of a family event but pared down to these four royal ‘stars’ alone."
When asked what, if any, effect the booing had on the King and Queen, Judi believes they kept their composure.
She told the publication: "The boos and the chanting had no visible effect on Charles’s facial expression but he did seem to fuss more over Camilla, as though keen to get her inside the venue and seated.

"At his London Coronation, he had appeared simply as King but here he was also in husband mode, turning to see Camilla safely from the car, with some impatient hand-flicking gestures showing moments of tension."
Judi explained why this was a "rare" gesture from the King towards his wife of 18 years.
She commented: "He rarely sees it as part of his duties to check Camilla in and out of cars they are using so this checking trait might just have been protective, thanks to the chanting."
Queen Camilla was pictured wearing a long white dress designed by Bruce Oldfield, along with the late Queen Elizabeth’s thistle robe and hat, including the star and collar.

Today was the National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication for King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
This included the presentation of the Honours (the Scottish crown jewels) which were presented to the new King.
The service was based on a similar service held at St Giles's Cathedral 70 years ago to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
But unlike the 1953 service, the Stone of Destiny, on which ancient Scottish Kings were crowned, was present in the cathedral.
