Prince Harry appeared to be “blown away” as soon as he set eyes on future wife Meghan Markle as she arrived to the church on their wedding day, a body language expert said.

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, expert Darren Stanton reviewed footage of the lavish ceremony to assess what insight their behaviour offered on their relationship.

Stanton noted the Duke appeared very “nervous” as he waited for his bride-to-be to walk down the aisle in the arms of his father, the then-Prince Charles.

The days before the ceremony were marred by the first in a series of family disputes as Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, pulled out at the last minute because of ill health – and after it emerged he had struck a deal with paparazzi to have photos taken.

The body language expert said: “When Harry first saw Meghan on their wedding day, Harry was blown away. He couldn’t stop smiling and couldn’t stop looking her in the eyes.

“This shows how real their connection is. As soon as they locked eyes with each other, Harry’s body language relaxes.

“It shows how connected they are as a couple. It means that when they are together and can be themselves, but also feel comfortable when they have each other by their side.”

The expert noted the couple’s body language highlighted they are very at ease with each other and share a “trusting” relationship.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, Stanton added: “When we look at Harry and Meghan as a couple, they are very compatible together. They balance out each other’s personalities perfectly.

“When they were having their photos taken after the ceremony, their gestures with one another showed how they have a passionate but very trusting relationship.

“They were tactile with each other, which speaks volumes about their trust levels as a couple. They know each other inside out and it comes across as completely natural.”

Harry and Meghan married at St George’s Chapel in Windsor surrounded by family, friends and several A-listers including George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey.

The pair met on a blind date in July 2016 after a common friend set them up. In the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duke revealed she caught his attention after he spotted a picture of her using the dog filter on their friend’s feed

He said: “Meghan and I met over Instagram. I was scrolling through my feed and someone who was a friend had a video of the two of them, like a Snapchat

“With dog ears. That was the first thing. I was like, ‘Who is that?'”
