King Charles sends Prince Harry clear message with key gesture during VE Day celebrations
King Charles and the Royal Family came together at Buckingham Palace to celebrate VE Day, which marks the end of World War II in Europe 80 years ago. They all stood on the famous palace balcony, smiling and waving to the cheering crowds below.
It was a special moment meant to show unity, pride, and respect for the sacrifices made by soldiers and veterans. Among those present were Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, along with other senior royals like Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
As the Red Arrows jets flew over the palace in a powerful display, a body language expert, Judi James, shared her view that this public appearance wasn’t just about celebration. She said the way the Royal Family stood together, confident and calm, sent a strong message — especially to Prince Harry. According to her, these types of balcony events always show the royal family at their strongest. She explained that by standing side by side and waving to the crowd, they appear united and in control, even when there may be problems going on behind the scenes.
Judi also pointed out a sweet moment during the event. Princess Anne, who had been chatting with King Charles, noticed that he was about to walk away before the national anthem had finished. She gently touched his back, a quiet gesture to guide him back into place. It was a small but meaningful moment that showed Anne is quietly looking out for her brother during what may be a tough time for him.
While the family showed a united front in public, things are still difficult between King Charles and Prince Harry. Just a few days before, Prince Harry gave a heartfelt interview to the BBC. He talked openly about his strained relationship with his father and how he still hopes they can make peace. He also expressed concern about King Charles’s health, mentioning that with the King’s cancer diagnosis, he doesn’t know how much time they may have left to reconnect.
Harry also talked about the court case he lost regarding his personal security in the UK. He had challenged the British government’s decision to reduce his security, saying it puts his safety at risk. But the court ruled against him, and he now feels it’s not safe to return to the UK with his family. He claimed that the legal system had treated him unfairly, calling it an “establishment stitch-up,” meaning he believes the system was against him from the start.
In response to Harry’s comments, Buckingham Palace didn’t go into detail. They simply said that the issue had already been reviewed several times by the courts and the decision remained the same each time.
Even with all the family tension and public drama, the Palace is hoping that none of it overshadows the importance of the VE Day events. They want the focus to remain on the brave men and women who fought in the war, and to celebrate their victory with joy and honor. It was a day meant to bring people together, to remember history, and to celebrate peace.
