What Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s romantic ‘drought’ actually entails, expert reveals

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s shift in body language has been decoded by an expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are set to embark on their own professional journeys in the upcoming year, have gone from PDAs to professional distancing.

Speaking about the change in their body language, Judi James tells the Mirror: “The year did start well in body language terms, with two ‘royal’ tours that saw the glittering couple looking tactile and bonded and even one rather passionate kissing display during a salsa class that kept their branding as both a professional and a romantic duo very much alive.”

“Since then, though, fans have been shown a professional parting of the ways that appears to have been building slowly but carefully recently. We now go months without seeing Harry and Meghan appearing in public together, creating an emotional drought in terms of all that romantic signalling the couple are known for and which has always been essential to their narrative of having given so much up for love and to be together,” she adds.

“Their tactile rituals, their adoring glances and their verbal gush about each other seemed to dissolve from public view once they became an ‘either-or’ professional double act in later 2024, rather than an inseparable professional duo. Working apart does seem to show up some differences in their approach, too. Harry has been seen looking relaxed and playful, immersing himself in those conversation with young children he is so good at or turning on the performer charm doing comic turns on TV shows,” notes Judi.

Speaking further about Meghan, Judi continues: “Meghan’s solo appearances have shown her looking more vulnerable and even coy, ‘limpet clinging’ to friends as though missing the comfort of her body language with Harry. Harry and Meghan might shine apart but together their body language sets off Gamma rays.”
