Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shockingly left the monarchy back in 2020, but videos of their time in the firm foreshadowed their infamous Megxit scandal.
Body language expert Darren Stanton noticed the Duke of Sussex was particularly focused on Meghan’s well-being during royal engagements in old footage.
“There is a notable distinction in his non-verbal communication when Harry is on his own compared to when he is with Meghan. He almost feels like he needs to be on duty when he is with Meghan, he seems a little bit more aware of his surroundings, like he has to present a certain brand,” the professional told an outlet.
“His body language isn’t as open and he’ll often be more reserved,” Stanton added.

Stanton further claimed that the royal appeared more sure of himself when attending gatherings alone, likely because he wasn’t fixated on Meghan’s safety.
“When he is on own, Harry has a sense of openness that we rarely see otherwise, he is very authentic in his emotions and his confidence increases as he doesn’t need to take on a protective role,” he explained.
The hypnotist later highlighted that the Sussexes’ demeanor changed upon making their big move from royal life.
“Once they moved to the States and stepped down, they weren’t restrained anymore,” the psychologist explained. “We saw an increase in public displays of affection. Meghan began wearing different outfits and colors whereas before she was restricted. Previously she wore muted tones, whereas now we see her wearing more confident shades, suggesting she is not afraid to stand out.”
