Biden’s ‘protocol breach’ with King Charles was ‘unusual,’ but ‘sweet’: expert
met for the first time during the monarch’s reign on Monday, and all eyes were on them.The politician, 80, encountered the 74-year-old sovereign at Windsor Castle, where many people believed that Biden breached protocol.Body language expert Judi James gave some insight into the pair’s gathering on the sweltering July day.When Biden’s car pulled up to the royal residence, Charles came out to welcome him with a handshake.When they both walked together up a few steps, Biden gently placed his hand on Charles. James explained to the US Sun that protocol dictates that one must never touch a member of the royal family unless they extend their hand first.“Biden’s forthcoming touch rituals might not have been offensive but they would have been unusual,” she said. “[He] treated the king as he might a cherished friend that he had not seen for a while.”The handshake the two shared involved “close torso proximity,” and, according to James, “this was performed inside what is known as the intimate zone of friendship.”Sometime later, when the men went to ceremoniously inspect the Guard of Honor, Biden was several paces in front of the sovereign.She went on: “The walking in front protocol is said to be based on hierarchy, meaning no one in the United Kingdom would walk in front of a king or queen.

King Charles, ‘tragic’ royals are fighting ‘factions’: body language expert
Trooping the Colour last month.“The composition of this ‘slimmed down’ royal balcony pose looks like a gappy smile with several teeth missing,” James boldly told the Daily Express of the stark contrast to previous years’ assemblies.This year, only working members of the royal family were allowed on the balcony at Buckingham Palace during the event, which means that cousins Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall were not permitted.“Instead of a smaller, tighter, loyal group it looks like five factions in apparent conflict: Anne and Tim stand awkwardly at one end; William and Kate pose in a glittering but slightly cordoned-off family group; Charles and Camilla take all the goodwill from the crowds in the middle; Edward and Sophie try hard to create some sociable links with the Gloucesters at the other end,” James claimed to the outlet.“Any ‘One united family group’ vibe seems to be totally lacking,” James added.During Queen Elizabeth’s reign, the crowd was much bigger, as she had all of the members of the royal family — both working and nonworking — join her on the balcony.James noted that under her tenure, people looked “animated and excited.”Queen Elizabeth died last September at the age of 96 and had reigned for 70 years at the time of her death.The body language expert also pointed out that the sparse lineup only drew more attention to those who were missing from the family — like estranged Prince Harry.“The gaps only call to mind the people who are missing,” James told the outlet. “Charles once had a mother, father, brother, son and his son’s family to mingle with.“But each of the gaps now seems to tell its own tragic or murky tale,” she said.
