Prince Harry delivers powerful message at ESPY Awards: ‘in control’

Prince Harry takes firm decision amid mounting 'negativity'

Prince Harry is reportedly “in a good place” after showing a “sense of honour” and truly “feeling every word” during his acceptance speech at the ESPYs this week.

The Duchess of Sussex joined her husband at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Thursday night, where he received the Pat Tillman Award for Service from ESPN, recognizing individuals in sports who have made significant impacts on the lives of others.

Harry was honored for founding the Invictus Games a decade ago to support injured and ill servicemen and women. In his acceptance speech, Harry began by acknowledging the family of Mr. Tillman, especially Mrs. Mary Tillman—Pat’s mother.

Her advocacy for Pat’s legacy is deeply personal, and one that I respect,” he said. “The bond between a mother and son is eternal and transcends even the greatest losses,” he added.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Roulette, body language expert Darren Stanton revealed that the Duke is “in a good place”.

He said: “Prince Harry ’s body language was very strong when he accepted the award. He displayed a sense of honour and inner pride. When he was speaking about the Invictus Games, it was clear it was very close to his heart.”

Mr Stanton added: “When we look at his body language more specifically, both his feet were planted on the floor and barely moved. This is a clear sign of Harry feeling in control without an ounce of nervousness. He’s in a good place right now. Harry spoke with clarity, confidence, and passion – revealing he felt every word he came out with.”

Then, touching on when Harry spoke of the “bond between a mother and son”, Mr Stanton noted: “When Harry paid a tribute to his mother, you can tell he was processing his emotions.

“He flashed expressions of sadness, which was understandable as he was thinking about her in that moment throughout his speech. However, he was able to keep calm and level-headed. This shows how comfortable Harry is with speaking publicly.”

This comes after Harry and Meghan put on a loved-up display at the awards, with “ownership” hinted from Meghan by an expert. Judi James, a renowned body language expert, told The Mirror yesterday.

“Meghan’s pose on the red carpet with her husband and her friend Serena does make it look as though she’s either got his back or acting as back-up as he turns his torso partly towards Serena, placing an arm around her waist, while Meghan poses behind him using gestures of ownership and loving support.”
