Nonverbal Communication Analysis # 2115:
Prince Harry in Afghanistan -
Incredulity & Contempt



















Prince Harry is no longer in a private luxury suite in Vegas - he's serving in Afghanistan. The body language cluster displayed in this recent image demonstrates a blend of two emotions. When the central forehead is contracted (CFC) (with the peripheral portions relaxed) and the medial (inner) eyebrows elevated as is seen here - coupled with a unilateral smile - it is highly characteristic for disbelief and contempt. Harry's incredulous that he's never left alone by some form of the paparazzi - even if here it is a military flavored one. And that's enough to give anyone contempt.
