Body Language Expert Tells Us King Charles Drops Hints Of Unease Post-Surgery

Buckingham Palace shared a statement on January 29 about the completion of King Charles III's procedure, writing: "The King was this afternoon discharged from hospital following planned medical treatment and has rescheduled forthcoming public engagements to allow for a period of private recuperation. His Majesty would like to thank the medical team and all those involved in supporting his hospital visit, and is grateful for all the kind messages he has received in recent days."

While, in true royal fashion, that statement doesn't reveal much, the video makes it clear, at least, that the hospital stay went well enough for Charles to be up and about and smiling at his fans. That doesn't mean, though, that he doesn't have a long recovery ahead of him. Jess Ponce III weighed in on the king's demeanor in the video, observing his apparent discomfort after stepping down from the curb and moving towards the car's door. "Although his facial expression remains unchanged, his purposeful stride suggests a careful and skillful effort to maintain balance while navigating around the vehicle," he said.
