Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots for Royal Insider, body language expert Darren Stanton revealed: “They clearly still share a very close bond. Meghan is especially supportive of Harry; she often touches his back or his elbow, showing her warmth and affection.
“They’re comfortable being tactile and aren’t afraid to display affection in public. It’s clear that their connection remains strong.”
Darren added: “Neither shows any signs of unhappiness, frustration, or anxiety.
“Instead, both display genuine microexpressions of happiness and joy – enjoying each other’s company, being out and about, and even interacting with the press.”
