Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘poignant moment’ at Dodgers game

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton said: “As Meghan and Harry were clapping, she couldn’t take her eyes off him, staring with pure adoration. It was such a small, intimate moment, yet incredibly genuine and impossible to miss.

“Despite the criticism and negativity they often face, in that instant, Meghan’s gaze was filled entirely with love and admiration. Her pride and affection for Harry were unmistakable, and as a body language expert, it struck me as a really poignant moment.”

He continued: “Meghan’s gentle touches, like resting her hands on his chest in one photo, created a visible connection and just reinforced the closeness between them.

“Harry was very absorbed in the sport, showing just how passionate he is about it. He was transfixed by the players and the pitch, yet the affection Meghan showed was clearly mutual.”
