The relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has been analysed since day one.

Whether it was unconvinced royal observers slating their dynamic in their 2017 engagement interview with ITV or Netflix viewers bashing their chemistry during Prince Harry‘s cameo in With Love, Meghan – many royal enthusiasts often speculate about their romance.

Now, a body language expert has pointed out key signs that Meghan recently appeared to struggle with her emotions regarding her husband.

Meghan Markle ‘masking’ emotions about Prince Harry

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton has chimed in on Meghan’s demeanour in her recent podcast interview with Jamie Kern Lima, CEO of IT Cosmetics.

He said: “There was a nice moment when Meghan spoke about her current relationship with Harry. She comes across as open when talking about personal matters, and seems happy to talk about her relationship with Harry and the interactions between them.

She is lacking the key signs of genuine emotion.

“Essentially, when she is being open and honest, she does seem to be fairly relaxed, and doesn’t appear nervous about giving away personal details about – which is what came across at that point in the interview.”

However, Stanton noted that Meghan’s behaviour shifts when discussing the early days of her relationship with Harry, suggesting she looked “uncomfortable”.

Meghan Markle ‘lacks emotion’ when discussing early romance with Harry

Stanton detailed: “When speaking about her early relationship with Harry, it seems like Meghan is masking some of her emotions. She is lacking the key signs of genuine emotion, such as crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes and full facial engagement.

“This could be due to Meghan feeling slightly uncomfortable about the line of questioning.”

He explained that this made Meghan’s expressions “more performative” rather than “heartfelt”.

Stanton added: “When she refers to being ‘in the trenches’, there is a clear increase in her blink rate. A sudden change in blink rate is often a subtle but telling indicator of an emotional shift. In this case, it likely reflects a moment of self awareness.

“While it was clearly just a throwaway comment, she’s aware of how her words could be perceived and interpreted, which causes her blink rate to increase.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan touched on the topic of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.

“So Harry said publicly, ‘So much of what Meghan is and how she is so similar to my mum. She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence,'” Jamie said.

“She has this warmth about her.’ How do you feel about him sharing that?”

“It’s beautiful,” Meghan gushed. “I wish I could have met her.”

Are Meghan and Harry still together?

For those who don’t keep up with the royals it may be confusing to deduce whether Harry and Meghan remain together – especially amid the swirling of divorce rumours that crop up every so often.

Evidently, the pair remain together after tying the knot in May 2018.

They now share two children, Archie and Lilibet.
