The Warrior Games – where teams from the US military compete in sporting events – is said to have inspired Prince Harry to set up his own Invictus Games, which next take place in September in Germany.

On his flight back to the US, the Duke of Sussex gifted a copy of his controversial memoir, Spare, to a member of the cabin crew.

QUEEN CAMILLA’S “AWKWARD” BREAK IN PROTOCOL

Meanwhile, a body language expert has revealed Queen Camilla has broken protocol leaving guests feeling “awkward” at a literary event.

The Queen and King Charles met with authors, actors and literature fans at a private reception for the Reading Room Literary Festival over the weekend, attended by stars including Dame Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi and Richard E Grant.

Arriving late due to bad weather, Queen Camilla kissed three friends on the cheek, after they’d bowed and curtsied, creating the awkward situation.

Body language expert Judi James told the Express, greeting rituals – especially royal ones -needed an “element of etiquette rules about them to avoid this kind of awkwardness”.

“Presumably these actor/performer friends of Camilla have offered support and warmth in the past and she seems keen to keep relations at that same level,” she said.

“But now she is Queen there needs to be a proper decision about whether the rituals get an upgrade or not.”

Queen Camilla’s body language suggests she would prefer to keep her exchanges with friends the same as before.

“She also seems to want to do the kind of ‘closeness grading’ rituals she might have done before she became Queen, where friends get the informal cheek kiss and other people get a handshake.

“This is not really an option for a Queen though, as it leaves guests or hosts feeling awkward and it also seems to alienate anyone not in the ‘inner circle’.”
