EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle send a clear message with their latest joint appearance, claims body language expert.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showcased “intense signs of unity” during their latest joint appearance, a body language expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in a new video released by their Archewell Foundation about the inaugural United Nations Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children in Bogota, Colombia, which addressed “urgent solutions and actions needed to create a world where children are safe and protected in their homes, schools, communities, and online spaces”.
In the video, which appeared to have been filmed at their Montecito home, the couple applauded the efforts of those addressing the issue and stressed the importance of tackling digital violence to prioritise children’s safety in today’s world.
Now body language expert Judi James explained how the couple’s “regal-looking double act” is still a “force to be reckoned with”.
She told Express.co.uk: “This video shows that the Harry and Meghan regal-looking double act is still very much a force to be reckoned with despite their recent trait of working on separate projects and campaigns.

“The body language signals of unity are intense here in terms of twinned mirroring, with both standing upright side-be-side dressed in matching sombre navy jackets and with their poppies pinned to their lapels in a homage to Remembrance Day.”
Ms James added that while Harry’s body language appears to be formal, Meghan’s is more relaxed and “softer”.
She explained: “The air of royal formality is constant from Harry here. He barely smiles and his attitude looks military, with his hands clasped behind his back and bouncing up and down on his toes to register authority and a serious, assertive approach.
“Meghan’s body language looks softer and her smile is more constant. When Harry speaks, she employs bonding rituals of affection, turning her face to watch him with a smile of approval.”

She concluded: “It’s a more formal display from Harry though, who rather stiffly puts his arm out around his wife’s back at the end of their presentation.”
In the video, Harry said: “We are at a crossroads where the urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident.
“While the necessity has always been apparent, it is now time to translate that awareness into meaningful action.”
Meghan added: “My husband and I recognise today’s reality is marked by greater connectivity and advanced technology, which of course has many positives, but which also compels us to better understand how digital violence against children is manifesting itself in this age.”
