Japan is 'most polite country' where even the deer bow
King Charles and Queen Camilla were spotted in a sweet moment during a major public outing this week.
Waiting for Prince William to arrive with Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako for the start of a state visit on Tuesday, Charles turned to his humorous side.
Body language Judi James told Daily Express US about how the King, 75, appeared to self-deprecatingly mock that his wrist watch was missing.

In the video, Charles can be seen making chit chat with Camilla, possibly about not having his wrist watch or his pocket watch.
Ms James said: “He seemed to be miming that he had not worn a watch and then he pointed to where his pocket watch would hang on a chain on his waistcoat and mimed opening the lid to see the dial.”
It went from chatting to playing an impromptu game of charades.
The expert continued: “Camilla tapped her wrist with her fingertips in what is often used as a gesture to say someone is late, but then Charles tapped his, and she tapped Charles’s wrist, which seemed to make them both chuckle.”
Waiting is not easy for anyone, even the royals, especially in such heat.
Ms James said: “This was a very hot day and the wait on the dais did appear to be a long one for Charles, who is not in the best of health right now.
“Although he waited patiently there were some small politely-masked signs of possible discomfort as he stretched or arched his back and looked about.
“Camilla, who is always looking very tuned-in and watchful of her husband these days, did throw at least one anxious-looking glance in his direction.”

Once the Emperor and Empress arrived, and were cordially welcomed, Camilla was ready to get inside, says the body language expert.
She added: "Camilla seems to have reverted to the steering or ushering mode she has been using since Charles was diagnosed, holding her arms out and motioning them all to get inside, possibly out of concern for her husband."
