King Charles and the Royal Family commemorated the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a grand flypast — and according to one expert, the display may have carried a subtle message aimed at Prince Harry.
During the event, senior members of the monarchy gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony, waving to crowds as the Red Arrows roared overhead in tribute to the Allied victory that brought an end to World War II in Europe.
The King and Queen stood alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, watching the flypast with heads tilted skyward.
This public moment followed closely on the heels of Prince Harry’s BBC interview, in which he revealed that his father isn’t speaking to him and admitted uncertainty about how much time the King has left.
Nevertheless, the monarch and Queen Camilla were said to be “looking forward” to the commemorative week. A palace source indicated that, in honour of the remaining WWII veterans, Buckingham Palace wished for “nothing to detract or distract from celebrating with full cheer and proud hearts that precious victory and those brave souls, on this most special and poignant of anniversaries.”
Body language expert Judi James interpreted the balcony appearance as a show of unity and strength from the royals.
Speaking to the Mirror, she explained: “Royal balcony moments always show the Firm at their highest status best, standing in a position of ultimate power as a strong family unit while looking down on the massed crowds of their subjects, all cheering wildly to show their support.
