As fans of the Royal family know, the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, was laid to rest this past weekend after passing away at age 99 earlier this month.
After the drama of the funeral procession order went viral last week, many fans were watching to see how brothers Prince William and Prince Harry would get along.
Now, a body language expert is weighing in.
In an effort to get ahead of the rumors, a Buckingham Palace rep said the procession order was "a practical change rather than sending a signal."
"The arrangements have been agreed and represent Her Majesty's wishes," the statement concluded.
Now, body language expert Judi James is analyzing the brother's behavior at Prince Philip's funeral for the Daily Mail.
"In a well-coordinated but also relatively natural-looking moment Harry walked up behind William and Kate to then join them, walking between them and chatting to them both," she explained.
"It looked like a genuine moment of unity rather than something contrived for the cameras."
"Walking beside Peter Philips and lined up with his brother William, Harry appeared to be performing the body language of subtle bravado."
However, he appeared to be "looking less confident as he emerged to walk behind his grandfather’s coffin."
"While William strode looking straight ahead and giving nothing away in terms of any acknowledgment of his brother, Harry performed a couple of self-comfort rituals that hinted at levels of suppressed anxiety."
"Pulling at his waistcoat, he also performed a shoulder-roll in the actual chapel, a gesture that can imply someone is bracing themselves and trying to boost their own confidence."
"I was overjoyed with tears seeing them talking together. They are brothers and love each other," tweeted one fan.
We're glad the brothers were able to lean on each other during this difficult time.
