A body language expert has analyzed the noticeable shift in Prince Harry’s demeanor after Meghan Markle left the Invictus Games to spend Valentine’s Day with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The expert, Judi James, shared her insights with The Mirror and highlighted the changes in the Duke of Sussex’s behavior.

James observed a significant transformation in Harry’s confidence and overall presence, noting that he appeared “less assured” without Meghan by his side. “After being love-bombed by his wife for several days, Harry must have felt the chill of the icy Canadian slopes rather keenly as he emerged to work the Games alone here,” she remarked.

She further pointed out that “he seems to be a subtler presence without his wife, posing at the back of this group rather than showboating in the middle, almost looking low-key in his grey knitted cap.” James also commented on the change in his interactions, stating, “His chats look a little less upbeat here.”

However, she acknowledged that despite the subtle differences, “his smile is still in place” even though he appeared “a little less assured and up for playful fun.” The expert’s analysis has sparked discussions on the impact of Meghan Markle’s presence on Prince Harry’s confidence and demeanor at public events.

While his commitment to the Invictus Games remains evident, James’ observations suggest that his energy and enthusiasm might be more pronounced when accompanied by his wife. As the Invictus Games continue, many royal watchers will likely keep a close eye on Prince Harry’s engagements and interactions, particularly in the absence of Meghan Markle.
