Amanda added, “makes you wonder why he bothered turning up,” as Prince Harry didn't sing the national anthem or bow when King Charles walked past.

Some viewers claim to have spotted Prince Harry stop singing God Save the King as his father walked by.

This is not the first time Prince Harry has faced criticism for not singing the national anthem.

Some viewers suggested that he did not join in during 's funeral last September.

However, footage clearly shows the Duke singing along with the rest of his family.

Even though some believe Harry wasn't singing during this key moment, in pictures from the service, he can be seen singing along with the rest of his family.

Returning to the royal family after a series of controversial interviews and the release of his tell-all memoir, Spare, Prince Harry appeared to be confident at times but had a difficult day at others.

The Duke of Sussex sat on the third row among other members of the royal family in Westminster Abbey.

Body language expert Inbal Honigman analyzed his behavior from the moment he arrived to the moment he left.

Inbal commented that Prince Harry seemed tense in all of his dealings with others during the coronation, and even more so when he was left to his own devices.

He displayed no confident gestures nor any signs of being remotely comfortable.

When he waved, his fingers were stiff, showing that he was feeling self-conscious, as if his every move would be analyzed.

When he smiled, his lips were pulled in an extreme way, which tells us that he was displaying a practiced grin rather than feeling joy.

According to Inbal, Prince Harry appeared to be thinking his own thoughts when he was not talking to anyone, and his eyes wandered, making him seem lost.

He even bit his lip multiple times, as if he was trying to say something.

“It's as if he's wondering whether he should be there at all,” she added.

His tense face turned into a grimace, exposing how he felt deep down, uneasy and out of place.

Inbal revealed that Prince Harry's gestures during God Save the King showed where his thoughts were.

He looked ahead in a practiced mechanical manner and raised and dropped his head according to protocol with the song.

He then turned his head and looked at the children behind the king, which the expert opined, he's missing his own children and appears to feel lost, being so far away from his family.

“To me, it looks as if his eye is caught by the children because he's thinking of his own children at home,” Inbal said.

It's a long ceremony with lots of moving parts, and his eyes wander away from the king periodically.

It doesn't appear that Prince Harry is specifically looking away intentionally, she clarified.

In conclusion, Prince Harry faced a hostile crowd and criticism for allegedly not singing the national anthem during King Charles's coronation.

However, there were also members of the public who pushed back against the unfriendly welcome.

Body language expert Inbal Honigman analyzed Prince Harry's behavior and found that he appeared tense and uncomfortable throughout the ceremony.
