Even Tom appeared shocked by some of Prince Harry’s revelations, claims a body language expert
Ahead of the release of his tell-all memoir, Tom and Harry sat down to discuss where he stands with the rest of the Royal family
The pair have known each other for more than 20 years
During the 90-minute conversation, Harry revealed where he stands with various members of the Royal family, and whether he thinks there’s any chance of a reconciliation.
But according to body language expert, Judi James, even his friend Tom was shocked by some of what he had to say.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, she said: “Tom ends with an expression of wide-eyed, shoulder-hunched shock or even disbelief that Harry has revealed so many private things.
“He rolls his eyes and even role-plays William asking ‘how could you do this to me?’
“Like a politician though, Harry has his answers and his sound bites to make his own case in response.”
During the pre-recorded conversation, filmed in California, US, Tom asked about various sections of the book – including the bombshell admission that Harry and William once got into a physical fight.
Harry claims that back in 2019, there was an altercation at Nottingham Cottage, where William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor.”
Looking into the Duke of Sussex feels about the incident now, Judi James added: “Harry is rubbing his hands together in a gesture of anxiety when the camera is on him again.
“He shrugs as though wanting to diminish it and there are the overkill gestures like a winding hand close to his chest to illustrate their ‘level of frustration’.
“When he describes William’s ‘red mist’ though we see him acting out his own fear at the time to ensure the message is emphatic enough.
“His eyes widen as though watching his brother’s anger.
“Philip’s funeral and the emotional conversation that Tom describes as ‘Heart-breaking’ seem to make Harry squirm in his seat.
“His staccato nodding suggests awkwardness but the telling moment is when Tom drops the empathy bomb, asking Harry what he thinks his father and brother will feel if they are watching.
“Harry barely thinks for a moment before swerving: ‘I don’t think they will read the book’, instead of imagining any levels of heartbreak that might be caused.”
