King Charles Has a Secret Signal for Telling Staff He's Bored, Says Expert
According to the “human lie detector,” Charles uses a secret sign to get out of a conversation
The Royals are not just like us – when they get bored during a conversation, they can't simply walk away. After all, they don't want to seem rude or insensitive. However, according to one former police officer, they have secret signals they use in certain situations so that their minions can come to the rescue in times of need. Ex-cop Darren Stanton has spent years analyzing the movements of everyone from Queen Elizabeth to King Charles and knows all about their movements and what they mean. He even knows the signal Charles uses to let his staff know he is bored.
Stanton, who has come to be known as the "human lie detector," claims that when Charles has quite simply, had enough of a conversation, he makes a secret gesture for help.
According to Stanton, when Charles reaches for his nose, that means he wants a conversation to end. [A] move Charles tends to make quite a lot is he'll scratch his nose," he says, according to Express.
"Just like with the Queen, she had a signal with her assistants, that if she had her handbag in her left hand and then switched it to her right, that meant 'get me out of here' — Charles tends to reach for his nose when he is ready to move on from a conversation," he continued.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers previously revealed to People another trick the Royal Family has up their sleeve to move on from a conversation. "What they all do [the Royal Family] is try to find a quick joke to leave it on. [King] Charles has a quick 'ha ha' and that enables him to break the conversation," he said.
Stanton added that he can tell when Charles is unforgettable. "Little key indicators are when he plays with his cufflinks or with the cuffs on his shirt and jacket. These are what are called 'pacifying gestures', which are things we do when trying to self-reassure ourselves," he said. "However, King Charles has evolved a bit over the years, he has become more confident in himself, especially since becoming King, so we tend to see these gestures less and less."
