A Body Language Expert Analyzes Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Behavior
"Harry and Meghan's relationship seems to have evolved from a totally twinned one, where their body language was confined to appearances as a matching, complimentary and very royal-looking double act, to one that resembles the shape of a letter Y," body language expert Judi James, who has analyzed the royals on several occasions, recently revealed, according to Ok!
The parents-of-two "joined and twinned at the base but also separating into two individuals moving into two rather separate professional directions," James added.
James went on to say that the Duke and Duchess's recent body language is no coincidence, and echoes what they are currently trying to present in terms of their solo projects and engagements, which has recently included the American Riviera Orchard founder hosting a dinner for refugees without her husband.
"The newly 'sole trader' body language performances need to be interspersed with appearances that describe and emphasize the base of the 'Y,'" James explained.
"Theirs has always been laid out as a love story with a romantic core and seeing them alone still tends to create a look of a lost limb, thanks to their previously constant love of touch, tie-signs and other PDAs to provide a touching narrative that the world enjoys watching," she added.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's Body Language In Their Online Safety Video Is Analyzed
James paid particular attention to their body language in the video they released last month, which was in aid of raising awareness for children's safety online.
"The recent 'base of the Y' appearance was a rather formal and regal video appearance where Meghan threw Harry constant affectionate-looking glances to register besotted encouragement while he spoke," James observed when watching the video of the Duke and Duchess together, adding: "And Harry, more formally, failed to respond in kind apart from one rather rigidly extended arm placed around his wife's back on the cue of the word 'together.'"
"The message was clearly one of ongoing bonds and togetherness but for fans of the Harry and Meghan passionately romantic body language rituals it was rather thin gruel," she continued. "It will be sad for their fans if, despite their marriage being enduringly strong and loving, they have made a decision to tone down the PDAs."
