Prince Harry seemed out of sorts during the TIME100 Sports Gala.
According to body language expert Scott Rouse, the Duke of Sussex appeared out of his element as he gave a speech at the event.
Harry showcased a ‘lack of confidence’ during his address
While Harry’s years of royal duties and working with numerous charities should’ve prepared him for the public address, the 41-year-old didn’t appear in his element.
The specialist said in a video shared on his YouTube channel via the IB Times that Harry displayed a “lack of confidence” during the “uncomfortable” speech.
“We see lip compression, this happens almost every time he finishes one of his points,” Rouse pointed out.
Harry explains why sports are important
During the Spare author’s remarks, he explained why sports are important for physical and mental health.
“In the arena, sport wasn’t simply rebuilding strength, it was restoring confidence, purpose, identity and connection,” he told the audience.
“Sport isn’t just entertainment and competition, sport is medicine. It reaches places that surgery cannot, therapies sometimes struggle to and words often never will,” Harry noted. “It challenges the body, focuses the mind and gives people permission to believe that what once seemed impossible may seem to still be within reach.”
Harry explains his passion for the Invictus Games
The 41-year-old launched the Invictus Games in 2014. The event is an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans.
“The Invictus Movement is a reminder that sport has the power to rebuild,” Harry said.
“To reconnect and to redefine what is possible because sport restores the human spirit,” the father of two raved.
Harry praised for recent podcast appearance
Although Harry didn’t seem at ease during his speech, he did during an appearance on the “Joe Marler Will See You Now” podcast.
“Harry’s humor, whether joking about being ‘sunset auburn’, introducing himself simply as ‘H’, or making light-hearted comments about someone’s hands, makes him feel much more approachable,” brand and culture expert Nick Ede told the Daily Express.
“The podcast hosts have helped to humanize him, which is truly refreshing,” the specialist noted.
