Prince Charles’ and Camilla Parker Bowles’ handwriting reveal their very different personalities.

During a recent engagement at the University of Liverpool, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall signed a visitor’s book. According to handwriting expert Adam Brand, Camilla’s handwriting suggests that she is friendly and sensitive but may not always want people to get too close to her. Prince Charles’ handwriting, on the other hand, apparently suggests that he is driven with a “here and now, let’s get on with it” approach.

“Although signatures only show the public image rather than the inner personality, Prince Charles’ signature reinforces what we already know about him. The strong middle zone with the slightly left slant shows a driven individual with entrepreneurial qualities,” he told Express.

Brand added that the total correctness of the letter shows Prince Charles’ logical thinking, and his pointed retraced letters show rapid comprehension. The two underlines below his name also show self-reliance.

“Camilla’s signature has an emotionally responsive right slanting curved ‘C,’ the ‘M’ is made up of two open bowls, the middle zone letters vary in height and are relatively small in relation to the absolute size of the signature – all signs of sensitivity and friendliness,” he said.

The Duchess of Cornwall also wrote two lines under her name, but her letter “a” has a guarded overlapping top and there is a flat ending stroke to the signature. According to Brand, this is what suggests that Camilla might not always want to be around people.

Prince Charles and Camilla were welcomed by the huge crowds during their visit to Liverpool University. While there, they welcomed Ireland’s President Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina. The event, which was held at the Victoria Gallery and Museum celebrated Prince Charles and the president’s joint patronage of the university’s Institute of Irish Studies.

Camilla also went on two solo engagements this week. One was in support of the Royal Osteoporosis Society and the other one was for London Taxi Drivers’ Charity for Children.
