KING Charles’ cancer diagnosis has unlocked emotions he didn’t know he had – and he is no longer “allergic” to the family’s PDA, a body language expert has claimed.
It comes after the King was all smiles at the Windsor Horse Show today after asking aides to “overload his diary”.

The photos show the 75-year-old monarch beaming as he embraces his niece Zara Tindall, with body language expert Judi James saying he was once a “victim of her PDA”.
But following his shock cancer diagnosis in January, it appears the royal has become more emotionally liberated.
Charles is “raring to go” while still receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, palace sources shared.
His treatment program is ongoing, but doctors are “sufficiently satisfied” with the progress so far, meaning he can now resume a range of public duties.
And according to Judi, he’s doing it with great enthusiasm.
“Charles was never a man who enjoyed his PDAs; in fact, he often seemed allergic to them in the past,” she told Fabulous.
“But his illness seems to have released a more overtly emotional side to his body language.
“Here at the races, a day off that he loves, the new signs of affection are exposed in a glorious way.”
FAMILY BOND
The photos of Charles and Zara smiling and hugging are particularly revealing, says Judi.
“Zara has always been extremely demonstrative with her uncle, throwing some very tactile PDA at him in her usual spontaneous and exuberant way,” she explains.
“Charles has, in the past, responded with body language signals that made him seem like a delighted but very passive (or shy) ‘victim’ of her affectionate displays.
“But here it is totally, openly and affectionately reciprocal.
“Zara opens her arms in an intentional gesture, looking like a child asking for a hug.
He seemed quite sassy with his body language; he looks very young again, quite childish
Judi James
“Charles grabs her arms to hug her in response and his face is wreathed in smiles of authentic happiness.
“The pair look closely – which for Charles is incredibly rare.
“They then share a very touching, tight, laughing hug that suggests mutual joy that Charles is out of the house again.”
CANCER TREATMENT
The Palace did not reveal what type of cancer the King has, nor what treatment he has received.
What we do know is that he began a “regular treatment program” in February and doctors are pleased with his progress.

CHILDISH AND ATTENTIVE

“He seemed quite cheeky with his body language,” says Judi.
“He looks very young again, quite childish.
