Just a little over a month ago, I noticed a remarkable shift in King Charles’s demeanor, as pointed out by body language expert Darren Stanton, who remarked that he appeared to be “a completely different person” in a recent portrait. During his visit to Imperial College London’s White City Campus in February, His Majesty exuded confidence, flashing smiles and sharing laughs. However, there seems to be a new side to the 76-year-old monarch emerging now.
In case you missed it, King Charles made a recent visit to the Royal College of Nursing in London to commemorate the 1000th King’s Nursing Cadet. During the visit, he engaged with cadets who demonstrated CPR techniques, with the royal family later sharing footage on Instagram, captioned with the message, “The young cadets showcased their newly acquired skills and even encouraged His Majesty to give it a try himself!”
In the video, the king displayed a natural flair and maintained a steady rhythm while performing CPR on a mannequin, reflecting his enthusiasm and vitality. Observing his body language in the footage, it is evident that he is in high spirits and brimming with energy.
The initial clip captures the king performing chest compressions with expertise and a genuine smile, showing no signs of fatigue and remaining fully involved as the other cadets observe. Subsequent footage reveals King Charles engaging warmly with the cadets, displaying confidence through open gestures and a friendly demeanor.
Fans reacted positively to the footage, praising the king’s approachability and evident happiness, with comments such as, “King Charles is so endearing, his interactions with people are delightful, and he appears genuinely interested and joyful.” Another commenter expressed joy at His Majesty’s good health.
This newfound energy displayed by the king is a stark contrast to his demeanor last year following his cancer diagnosis in February, during which he scaled back royal duties and maintained a more composed presence whenever appearing in public.
It is heartening to witness King Charles in higher spirits.
