How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Have Grown in Confidence Over the Years

Prince Harry’s evolution since his early public engagements has been analyzed by body language expert Darren Stanton, who highlighted significant changes in the Duke of Sussex’s demeanor and confidence. Speaking on behalf of Betfair, Stanton shared his observations about Harry and Meghan Markle’s development over time.

“One of the main differences in Harry and Meghan over the years is their growing levels of self-assurance,” Stanton explained. “In the early stages, we would sometimes notice signs of nerves between the couple whilst out attending public events or engagements.”

Stanton noted that Harry’s body language initially revealed signs of unease. “Harry used to tuck his hands into his pocket or play with his cufflinks, which are both pacifying gestures used in times of nervousness or uneasiness. This is something Prince Charles often used to do.”

However, over the years, Harry’s body language has shifted dramatically. “Nowadays, Harry tends to stand a lot more upright, with his shoulders back,” Stanton observed. “There has definitely been a decrease in pacifying gestures from him over the years, which proves he has massively grown and developed in confidence.”

Stanton also touched on the couple’s journey together, acknowledging the challenges they’ve faced since Meghan joined the royal scene. “In terms of their development over the years, the couple have been through a lot in order to get where they are today,” he noted.

Comparing Meghan to Princess Diana, Stanton remarked on her initial adjustment to royal life. “Meghan was very much like Princess Diana as she was new on the scene and had to get to know the Royal family. However, despite having challenges since then, the couple have only got stronger over the years.”

Stanton’s insights emphasize Harry’s personal growth and the resilience of his relationship with Meghan, suggesting that their shared experiences have bolstered their confidence and unity as a couple.
