His Royal Highness... The Prince of Wales

Does he have what it takes to be King of England? Or will his Mother, The Queen, pass the English throne to his son, Prince William?

An analysis of Prince Charles's handwriting reveals a lot about his temperament and character. Let's take a look...

To maintain the integrity of the sample, the following images are large and will take a few moments to download. Thank you for your patience.

Figure 1

Slant

His handwriting has a leftward slant, indicating him to be socially reserved and rather aloof. He feels emotions, but will quickly turn away and suppress them, rather than show them outwardly.

Margins

Looking at Figure 1, you will notice that there are wide margins on both sides of the page, and that the left margin gradually shrinks as you move toward the bottom of the page. This is indicative of his starting projects with enthusiasm and then backing off, wondering if he's doing the right thing or not. He begins to look for ways to get back into his past rituals where he feels in control, comfortable and secure.

Spacing

Another noticeable trait is the wide spacing between his words, indicating a generous spirit... but only for those causes or persons that he feels is totally deserving of his attention. He will reach out to others who are less fortunate than himself, only as long as there is no personal attachment with it.

If you were to draw a straight line under each word, you'd notice that his writing stays mostly on the line. This fairly straight line shows his willpower, reliability, and common sense. His behavior is steady and consistent.

Figure 2

Now, let's look at some specific's of his handwriting...

Characteristics in the small letter "t" reveals several aspects of his personality.

His "t-bar" is located low on the stem, which tells us that Charles lacks confidence in himself and needs constant validation of his own decisions and self-worth.

The "t-bar", which is mostly on the right of the stem, ends in a sharp point. This indicates a tendency to be sarcastic and hurtful toward others. This characteristic appears most often when he is frustrated because things haven't gone his way and he will quickly lash out at anyone around him.

The letter "i" has a slash directly above the letter rather just a simple dot.

The slash directly above the letter shows loyalty and a true commitment to stand by those people or ideas that he believes in. The slashed appearance indicates his impatience and frustration when things don't work out the way he wants them to.

The humps on the letters "m" and "n" slant downhill and are both rounded and pointed on top.

The downhill slant indicates his ability to be diplomatic in difficult situations. This is perfectly illustrated by his actions and remarks at Princess Diana's death. He was dignified, solemn, and respectful.

The humps are both rounded and very pointed indicating both a cumulative and comprehensive thinker. He can evaluate all the information provided him, identify any problems, then quickly make the necessary corrections. If the problem can't be solved logically, he will use his imagination and develop other solutions.

The loops in the letters "y" and "p" relate to his PHYSICAL being.

Both the "y" and "p" letters have no loops at all or they are very elongated and narrow. This shows that Charles keeps his emotions constrained. This trait has kept him from developing any long-term emotional and physical attachment to anyone.... whether it was Diana or is Camellia.

His signature is underlined, but is also sloppy and illegible.

His sloppy signature reveals his tendency to hide his innermost thoughts from the outside world. The signature being underlined shows us that Charles likes to draw attention to himself and wants to be a leader. Whether or not the Queen agrees with him, only time will tell.

General conclusions:

There are aspects of Prince Charles personality that fit our image of Royalty perfectly... he's aloof and emotionless. But, who really knows, maybe his insecurity and low self-esteem are also typical.

Till next time...
