Entertainment Tonight said that Queen Elizabeth II, 73 years old monarch, was expected to spend the eighty-day traditional mourning period. However, New York Daily Times says she resumed her duties soon after four days after his husband’s.
Lord Chamberlain Earl Peel who is the most senior of the royal family got retired and Queen attended his retirement ceremony. The Associated Press reported that the members of the royal family will “undertake engagements appropriate to the circumstances.” A source of People says people mourn differently and is dutiful and she “has a job to do”.
She made her solo statement on volcanic eruptions in St. Vincent. The official website said, she is dutiful, but she is a woman who has lost her husband with whom she was with him since the age of 8 years. The body language expert Jason Lee said that she wore a face mask, but her emotions were intense.
Lee, who is a body language expert shared, “I noticed that during the final playing of [United Kingdom’s national anthem] “God Save the Queen,” everyone had their heads up, but the Queen had her head down. While we can only speculate why, I’d imagine it was a moment of personal self-reflection, an internal chance to say goodbye to her late husband, or pain.” Much of expressions couldn’t read because she was wearing a face mask.
Lee also noted, “This is not something she always does when that’s played — it’s not normal for her to have her head down as you can see.” He thinks the revolution is, “probably something worth noting. The down head represents that she is a human being with all human emotions after all.
Overall, Queen Elizabeth II’s subtle head nod reminds the world that she is a human being with genuine emotions. Lee commented, “I think if there’s one moment that brings all of this full circle from the grandeur to the reality of a real loss, it’s that moment.”
