Based on Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s body language at Princess Eugenie’s wedding,
their connection is still as hot and new as ever. Princess Eugenie and now-husband Jack
Brooksbank tied the knot at the same place that Harry and Meghan had their royal wedding
back in May 2018 — St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Palace.
Now that we know that Harry and Meghan were probably pretty psyched for the new addition
to their family, let’s dive into their body language. It’s pretty incredible just how
much you can tell about the inner workings of a relationship by a couple’s body language.
Meghan and Harry have consistently always shown loving, protective, super-hot body language,
and according to body language expert Blanca Cobb, Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding was
no exception.
At their public appearances, Harry always
does a good job at making sure Meghan knows he's there to support her. Eugenie's wedding
was no different! "Look how close he gets?" Cobb points out. "Very different from Kate
and William. There are feet between Kate and William. Harry is very attentive. He comes
up immediately." Cobb also points out that Meghan tends to play with her hair quite often
at public events, and while that may sometimes be an indication of nerves, it's normally
just Meghan's "baseline" body language. "Meghan gets out of the car, she does the
hair thing, which is her baseline," says Cobb. "I think part of it is nerves with her, she
doesn’t even realize she’s doing it, and he comes from the other side of the car almost
immediately and he walks up behind her and places his hand right on the small of her
back. It’s just really sweet."
Look at these two! I cannot deal with how
attractive this couple is. But looks aside, Meghan and Harry seem closer than ever in
this particular photo. Nothing is getting between Meghan and her man.
"She has her clutch in her outside hand, and that’s what you want to see with a couple
who really loves and cares about each other, is you don’t want anything to be blocking
in between you and your partner." Cobb said. "I don’t know if they’re holding hands,
I can’t tell, but I would imagine that they are. Why would you have something that would
serve as a physical block between you and your man? But she doesn’t have that, and
that’s a good thing. I like to see that. "
Meghan is still relatively new to the royal
spotlight, so it's normal that she would feel a little uncomfortable or tense at big events
like these. In this photo, she looks relaxed, but according to Cobb, it looks like she's
fiddling with her hair. "I just think it’s part of her baseline
— she’s a hair toucher, she’s a hair twirler," Cobb says. "She will sweep her hair
out of her face constantly. You do that when you’re a little bit nervous." However, Cobb
says she doesn't think Meghan looks particularly nervous in this photo, as "It's just part
of her baseline."
According to Cobb, not much is happening in
this picture, but the one important thing we can observe is the placement of Meghan's
arms and hands. "It looks like she has her hands in front of her, which is great because
that’s a sign of respect," Cobb says. "She looks like she’s appreciating what she sees,
which is nice." Being new to the royal family must be no walk in the park, but it's nice
to see that Meghan appreciates her new life and has respect for royal traditions.
Meghan and Harry look to be enjoying or laughing
at something here, which is nice because no matter how many people are watching them,
they can still be themselves. "You want to be able to laugh with your partner,
you want to have some intimate moments, and intimate doesn’t necessarily mean in the
bedroom," Cobb says. "It looks like they’re sharing a moment, and that’s nice because
you want to be able to laugh and enjoy with your partner."
Harry and Meghan were spotted having a possible
tiff, expert Judi James claimed. The prince appeared “impatient”, and Meghan’s
manner indicated “exasperation”, Ms James added.
She said: “For some reason Harry looks distracted and fidgety as they wait in the pews, while
Meghan sits facing front and looking demure and impervious, with a polite social smile
on her face. "Harry mutters something to Meghan and her
eyebrows raise before she turns her head towards him, using what looks like an emphatic gesture
with each word of her reply." She added: “Meghan looks a little bit like
a mother with a naughty kid and she even raises both of her hands in a gesture that could
mean slight exasperation. “Whatever she says she then leans forward
to resume her conversation with the guest in the row in front.
"Harry's response is to rub his face, sniff and lick his lips impatiently as he sinks
against the side of the chair, looking away."
Ms James said: "If the pair did have a small disagreement it was soon over because they
were back to their normal loving, hand-holding and hugging behaviours once the ceremony was
over."
