The Duchess of Sussex has continued her Instagram posting streak with a heartfelt snap of her and Prince Harry, alongside a very emotional message. One expert says the smitten couple have two very different dynamics in the snap
Meghan Markle has opened up about missing her husband Prince Harry as they spend Valentine’s Day apart.
The Duchess has continued her Instagram posting streak by sharing a romantic unseen snap of her and Harry, where they both share a tender kiss over dinner.
After months of working seperately and not being seen together at events, the couple returned to their famously inseperable approach as they arrived together at in Canada for the Invictus Games last weekend. Fans were treated to five days of major PDA from the Sussexes, who shared a passionate smooch at the opening ceremony and giggled together as they got stuck in at sporting events.
But their amorous display was cut short when Meghan flew back home to sunny Montecito on Tuesday, to be with their children Archie and Lilibet. It is understood that the Duchess had always planned to fly back days before the Games end, while Harry remains in Vancouver until Sunday. It means the Sussexes are spending their Valentine’s Day apart, but keen to not miss out on the romance today brings, Meghan took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to Harry.

Meghan wrote: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created. My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you. #lovewins.” She ended the post with: “As ever, M.”
It marks a huge change in tact for the former Suits actress, who previously left Instagram, deleting her personal account after getting married. Now she’s back in full force, returning to promote her upcoming Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, last month, but posting behind-the-scenes snippets ever since – including daily Instagram Stories from her time at Invictus.
And body language expert Judi James says Meghan’s new loved-up snap shows just how smitten the pair are. It comes after the Duke was forced to shut down divorce rumours late last year, following a long stint where the couple had not been seen together in public.
Judi tells The Mirror: “This adorable pose seems to show how smitten Harry is with Meghan and how more dominant she can be in response. Firstly, Harry has left his meal to wait to accept a kiss from his wife, which is serious stuff for most guys. Then he has his hands and lower arms crossed in his lap, between his legs, which is a classic signals of coyness.”

World’s away from the ‘flustered’ and ‘uncomfortable’ Harry that we saw during the couple’s Colombia tour last summer, the new snap suggests that Meghan brings out his ‘shy teenage’ side, according to the expert. “That rather cute look is emphasized as his cheeks are raised and fully rounded in a smile as he is kissed by Meghan, making him look rather like a shy teenager,” she says. “It’s Meghan holding his face in place for this kiss, which seems to give a more dominant but loving look.”
On Meghan’s heartfelt message, Judi says: “Her words are aimed at ‘stroking’ Harry with praise to the rest of the world, but they end on a more personal note about the duration of their enduring love story.”
But it’s not all chocolates and roses, as the expert believes there might be a hidden strategy at play too. Judi notes: “It’s also interesting to see that, coinciding with her new food series, Meghan’s love language here is emphatically food-based. She name-checks the simple everyday meals they will be sharing through life, with some tempting looking platefuls in front of them looking like clickbait for her upcoming Netflix series.”
In the snap, Meghan and Harry appear to be halfway through a romantic meal when they pause to share their kiss. A glass of wine next to her plate is nearly empty, and her plate shows what appears to be a half-eaten burger. Harry looks to be tucking into some fish and chips.
Meghan’s new Netflix cooking show was initially due to air on 15 January, but after terrifying wildfires ravaged the her hometown of LA – she postponed the release. It comes as insiders who have seen the new show have claimed that Meghan doesn’t actually cook in the series. The eight-part show, which starts on March 4, is understood to be more about hosting and offering inspiration to those wanting to woe friends and family. Harry is also reportedly not in the series.
