Prince Charles showed "undeniable signs of nerves" as he stepped in for the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament today, a body language expert has said.
For the first time ever, Charles, accompanied by wife Camilla, delivered the Queen's speech after his mother pulled out of attending the event last night.
It is the first time in nearly 60 years that the Queen, 96, has missed the occasion and she reluctantly decide not to attend on the advice of royal doctors due to her continued mobility problems.
