Ahead of the Invictus Games, the organization Help For Heroes arranged a 'surprise' zoom
meeting with none other that your favorite ginger prince.
But things did not go... as planned, as you are about to find out.
Welcome back, my body language buddies!
my name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body Language Guy, and it would be great if you
join us by just liking this video, subscribing and hitting that bell! let's get down to it!
First of all, an important statement.
I do not condone any kind of unfounded attack, or blind criticism upon the Invictus Games,
or Help for Heroes, or any person that has, at any point of their lives, stood for their
country as a comBAtant.
These events are to bring awareness to veterans and their families.
It's great that such initiatives exist, because it can do wonders for the mental health of
these heroic men and women.
So, I cannot understand how there are people that leave comments on these kind of videos
and promos of these events, that constitute a verbal aggression for the event and the
people themselves.
So much so, that Help For Heroes' Twitter account had to remind everyone that they will
not accept offensive, trolling comments aimed at their team.
And I agree.
They are doing their best to do the right thing.
But yes, the problem is Harry.
And in the case of the Invictus Games, they will not be able to change the fact that he
was their founder.
But in this case, Help for Heroes is an organization to support the veterans of the British Armed
Forces.
So, it would not be a surprise that they decided to make a zoom call with, well, none other
than the founder of the Invictus Games.
This is just common sense.
And I understand that it's frustrating, because common sense is something that gingerbrat
seriously lacks.
And you know very well all the consequences of that deficiency, to the point that there
are no shortage of chaps on the internet that are more than ready to tell Harry where he
can stick his words, in the most vernacular way.
And that must be the reason why this video on Help For Heroes' Youtube channel was unlisted.
It means that if you visit their homepage, you are not gonna find that video.
If you search for it on Youtube, or Google, or anywhere, it is not gonna appear.
There is no way to find or watch this video unless you have the direct link that they
published on their Twitter account.
And that is very telling, for a very simple reason.
I'm sure that this was an idea of The Harkles, to go and have some visibility by having a
zoom call with these veterans.
We know that Harry is going to be at the Invictus Games, so this is a great opportunity to test
the waters and measure how's the public opinion doing.
What's interesting is that this video was unlisted from the start, and comments closed
on Youtube so nobody could give an opinion about it.
And the reason they did this, is because in case of a true fallout, they could just delete
the post on Twitter and that was it.
Nobody would be able to find this video ever again.
This is a bit technical, and it's about how Youtube and Twitter work, but in the case
of Youtube, the video would have been discoverable and even could be pushed by the algorithm
on its own, so leaving it UNLISTED was a way to prevent that.
Which...
makes you wonder, if this is such a nice surprise, if all the athletes there were truly enjoying
the moment... then why hide it from search?
why prevent people from finding it?
So, Harry is basically testing the waters to see how it's gonna be when he finally arrives
at the Hague for the games, next week.
Spoiler alert: It's gonna be just like THAT Meghan pic.
And by the way, Meghan is gonna be there with him.
Which makes it all the more strange that in the Spotify podcast, Harry is nowhere to be
found, but in the Invictus Games, NutMeg is gonna be joining Haz?
Well, that's... normal, I guess?
But then, everyone has the same question.
What was the difference from attending the Invictus Games, from attending Prince Philip's
memorial?
all this nonsense about feeling in danger while in the UK? and that's must be one of
the reasons behind some of the reactions during that zoom call.
Because there were a lot of funny reactions in there, but since the video itself was unlisted,
I'm not going to show their faces.
They have the right to their privacy.
You know, A privacy that has nothing to do with The Harkles' concept of being private.
But if we focus on Harry, that's when we notice the same thing that I have pointed out many
times before.
If this is an special occasion, or a special surprise, or whatever you wanna call it...
can you tell me why, in the name of all that is sacred, you still don't have a decent camera?
And yes, having a good camera is important, because that is a nonverbal signal that you're
invested in the bridge of communication.
Ok, maybe someone cannot afford a good camera, that's one thing.
But at the very least you make sure to look your best, because that is a message that
you'll be sending to the person on the other side of the line.
Again, it's like you are going to meet a person over a zoom call and they are untidy, or the
background is a mess.
Maybe you cannot control the quality of the connection, but you can control everything
else.
And that is going to affect the way people perceive you.
You decide if that's gonna be for good, or for bad.
And I've suggested, over and over again, that Harry should present himself in a better way,
and I know you watch my videos, Harry.
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you.
I can read your mind.
But you can be sure that the Netflix cameras are more than ready to follow them all the
way to the Netherlands, pretty much like an underpaid intern following a wannabe TikTok
influencer.
Let's try to get over the fact that this angle is really awful for any human being.
Please, always make sure that you have your camera at eye level.
As you can see, Harry has a very bad posture BECAUSE his camera is too low.
He's using the one on his laptop, I guess.
But he could have made a tower with 'the bench' copies, just like Meghan did for that 40x40
video.
But what is really cringe is how Harry is trying too hard, WAY too hard to be nice.
Just hear the perfect example of a forced laughter:
"It's everybody excited, or people nervous?"
(laughter)
Freak.
He had one job.
He just had to talk to them, I don't know, like ten minutes or so.
How hard can it be?
It's obvious that this was not the whole Zoom call, because it is heavily edited, to fit
in under five minutes.
And that must be the reason it sometimes sounds like there's a laugh track.
But MAN, couldn't he possibly make sure to not have any sandwich leftovers on his teeth,
before the call?
As in that moment, when he reaches for that elusive lettuce right before almost covering
half his face with his hand.
Talk about being prepared.
And someone has to tell him, you don't have to force being funny, if you're not funny.
Because you will commit IMpasses like trying to compliment the captain of the team, saying
that she must be doing a good job, or in his own words:
"So far it seems that you're doing well, by the fact that you're all sitting down."
The big problem is the guy that is right at the front of the room, on a wheelchair.
So, the joke was not good and it landed pretty bad.
And OK, maybe they did not pay much attention to it, so whatever.
But let this be a warning for you.
Forcing being funny is much, much worse than not being funny at all.
