A few days ago, I went live to analyze Harry's speech for Mandela Day at the United Nations
in New York.
This is the summary of that live, with further insights that reveal the current state of
The Harkles' life troubles...
as you're about to find out.
Welcome back, my body language buddies!
my name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body Language Guy, and it would be great if you
join us by just liking this video, subscribing and hitting that bell! let's get down to it!
The first impression you have upon seeing Harry sitting next to Meghan, is those eyes
just lost in the distance.
That thousand yard stare.
I understand that one can be nervous when you're about to give a speech, especially
when you want to make a good impression in front of millions.
But Harry is no stranger to public speaking, and in more than one occasion he has been
competent enough.
But when he stood up in front of everyone, the feeling that immediately struck was that
he was somehow angry.
His facial expressions included a tense jaw and brow, his eyes projected hostility and
his body language was stiff.
That's a real problem, because the first three minutes of any speech are perhaps the most
important.
It is your chance to grab the audience's attention.
But he was thanking the opportunity to speak at this event, and his expression was of being
upset.
Right from the get go, a huge contradiction.
Could it be that Harry did not like Meghan's behavior?
on one hand, when they went in the building they had their usual couple body language.
The posture, the stride and their facial expressions were classic Harry and Meghan.
But you saw the moment when Meghan tried to hold his hand and then he took it away.
Like, he was not comfortable at the moment with physical touch, or somehow realized that,
no matter how much you love your other half, these are not the best scenarios for public
displays of affection.
Maybe the working royals are right?
Meghan didn't think twice and used a double Markle claw to claim ownership.
Harry's face expression changed immediately.
You could say that this was only a coincidence, that Harry was upset for any other reason,
but his legs became restless, too.
It's like instead of soothing him, her proximity only made him more nervous.
And it gets worse when he's behind the lectern.
There are parts of the speech that are well written, but Harry just doesn't give them
justice:
- I've come to understand the man through his legacy.
The letters he wrote alone in his prison cell, the speeches he delivered to his people, and
those incredible shirts that he sported.
Whoever wrote the speech knows about the rule of three.
When you're giving examples, or characteristics, you use three of them.
The third one can be used to add some levity.
This humor tool always works... provided that you make sure people understand that the third
one is a joke.
And the best way to do it, is to use contrasting body language.
Like this:
"The letters he wrote alone in his prison cell, the speeches he delivered to his people,
and those incredible shirts that he sported."
But Harry doesn't even try.
He says the joke with the charisma of a rock.
And I don't mean Chris Rock.
Or Dwayne Johnson.
I mean an ACTUAL rock.
Now, I understand that not everyone has the talent to nail this delivery.
But there is one word that destroys any excuse, and that is: practice.
Case in point: the most famous stutterers in the world, who became famous for their
speaking abilities.
Demosthenes, Churchill, and effing Darth Vader.
Yeah, those are extreme examples, but also proof that anyone can become a great public
speaker or have a commanding voice, in spite of physical hurdles.
And Harry must have access to the best specialists in the world.
Not only speech writers, but public speaking gurus, and even body language coaches.
No, not me, but still.
Don't you think that if a speech was important to you, you would at least prepare your delivery
in advance?
practice it a couple dozen times?
The UN is a huge platform that you can use at will.
Having that attitude with such an opportunity just tells the world that you don't really
care about it.
That you don't believe in your own words.
But what about Meghan?
doesn't she know how to deliver a public speech?
hasn't she been praised for her public speaking abilities?
Do you find any logic in the fact that a woman with those skills will like to see her husband
give such a lousy presentation?
"Oh, they are so busy with their family life, that they don't have time for things such
as practice".
Then don't do this.
Go home and play with your kids.
Because you are harming your image and reputation with this pathetic attempt at grown-up life.
And I mention Meghan because, for some reason, she's ok with this.
She doesn't feel embarrassed or anything.
It's like she wanted Harry to look bad.
It would not be surprising that at some point she decides to give a speech.
And she's gonna give it by the book.
And people are inevitably going to compare them.
And guess what? by contrast, Meghan wins!
And there's more proof about this, just because pictures like this one exist and what's more,
are being professionally sold in stock photo websites.
I mean, who's ready to shell out four hundred bucks for a license to use this?
Yes, there is a lot of meme potential, but that's it!
jokes aside, I think this image is extremely unflattering and borderline bad taste.
This is the kind of pictures that spark those concerns about Harry's general state of being.
Like, is he ok? because he doesn't look good.
But what is even more baffling is that all it would take is just one phone call and this
photo will be unlisted from this website in a matter of hours.
Why can't Meghan move her influences for that?
Why Harry doesn't do anything about it?
I would love to make sense of this.
But it doesn't.
It's like The Producers.
It's like they're trying to fail at all costs.
Now, I mentioned the good parts of the speech, but there are other perfect examples of a
trainwreck.
- And let's be honest, how many of us are in danger of losing those lifeboats right
now?
how many of us feel battered, helpless in the face of a seemingly endless stream of
disasters and devastation?
This was a complete mistake.
I understand that one should talk in the second person, as in "us" so you can connect with
the audience, like, we're all part of the same team.
But in cases like this, when you want to address people that are struggling at the end of the
rope, desperate for a light at the end of the tunnel, it's beyond tone deaf to say "how
many of us are in danger of losing those lifeboats right now?
how many of us feel battered?"
Although...
like some people mentioned during my live stream, Harry looks battered, so there's that.
There is no doubt that Meghan is pushing for this kind of appearances to lay the groundwork
for her political aspirations.
The thing is that you can go only so far making a fool of yourself.
You can get all the attention you want, but people are not going to take you seriously.
You command the attention and then use that attention so people listens to what you are
bringing to the table.
But the Harkles have committed the worst sin of communications.
They have just taken from their audience and from their fans, over and over again, without
bringing anything of substance.
Like Harry when he says that in Africa lies his main line of work.
That left me dumbfounded.
Because I don't remember AT ALL what is Harry's line of work, besides Driving Miss Crazy.
Being tone deaf, out of touch, looking defeated is not going to cut it.
So it's possible that more sooner than later they are going to divorce...
their respective personal brands.
Because Harry just wanted to 'be free', right?
but he is under even more pressure to deliver, than when he was a working royal.
And let's face it... when you see these two men side by side, which one looks like he's
trapped?
Which one looks like he needs help?
You don't need to be a body language expert to know the answer.
