Prince Harry seemed eager to show his affection for Meghan Markle as they attended a gala fundraising dinner.

The event was hosted by Nigeria Unconquered and saw Meghan and Harry meet with the kings of four different states in Nigeria. The kings showed their support for the couple and heaped praise on the Duchess of Sussex.

During a speech, Harry was also keen to show off his love for his wife as he kissed her on the head. However, body language expert Judi James believes he came off as “rather needy”.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Judi said: “Harry was looking rather needy on this particular outing, clinging to Meghan’s hand until she had to lift it from the clasp get him to move ahead, then re-clasping his hand in her other hand straight away and here he is still seeming to want to register his affection for her as she is flattered and feted by their hosts.”

Meghan and Harry met with the Olu Of Warri, HRM Eberechukwu Oji, the Obi of Onitsha, and the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi of Osun State, who presented Harry and Meghan with Aso Oke – a hand-woven cloth created by the Yoruba people – and the coral beads they were wearing. A clip shared on social media showed the king complimenting Meghan, with Harry then rubbing her arm and kissing her.

Judi said: “Meghan touches the host in gratitude at this moment then turns to Harry, turning to the front again before him. He offers some reassurance and affection by rubbing her right arm but then he seems to want to accelerate to PDA, kissing her on the side of her head.

“This bestowed but rather sweet kiss suggests he wants to pile in on the flattery, praise and glory that his wife is getting here, agreeing with the hosts as they refer to her beauty etc.”

A clip of Meghan and Harry’s sweet interaction was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. In it, the king could be heard telling Meghan: “You’re so beautiful.”

Fans were loving the video, with one person writing: “The kiss Harry gives Meghan and the way he looks at her!!!! I’m screaming!” Another said: “That is the proudest little kiss! Awwww, I love them,” while a third fan added: “In the end, love wins!”
