Speaking to Express.co,uk, Judi said that Camilla was seen “comforting” her husband with “the same comforting hand-pat that she often used to use in the early days after their relationship went public.”

According to the body language expert, this shows the “same supportive and almost maternal traits that seemed to bind them as a couple before their marriage.”

The Queen sat alone during the service and separate from other members of the Royal family.

Judi said that the monarch looked “solitary and isolated during the service” and that “Charles’s tears might have been a sign that he is now feeling the same without his father to guide him.”
