Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s Awkward Public Appearance in New York City
Meghan Markle, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, made their first public appearance in New York City since the birth of their daughter Lilibet in June.
The royal couple’s body language during the outing was described as nervous and awkward by body language expert Judy James.
Judy exclusively shared with Express.co.uk her observations on Meghan and Harry’s demeanor as they posed for photographs.
Dressed in black attire, Meghan and Harry exhibited moments of somber body language that matched the tone of the venue they were visiting.
Despite this, Judy noted signs of awkwardness and nerves between the couple during their first public outing together post the birth of their daughter.
Harry, in particular, displayed gestures such as touching his jacket and using barrier gestures, indicating a slight unease in front of the press cameras.
Throughout the event, Harry’s interactions with Meghan included subtle touches like steering gestures on her back and exchanging glances and words, possibly to provide reassurance.
However, Meghan’s limited response on one occasion hinted at her own nerves affecting the moment.
Their smiles appeared forced and fleeting, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared, giving an impression of tension.
In a poignant moment, Meghan stood alone in a reflective and somber pose at the rail, creating an iconic and moving image.
Despite some small smiles and waves to fans, the couple overall seemed unusually awkward during most of the photo opportunities.
Judy highlighted that even though Meghan and Harry are no longer senior royals in the British royal family, they remain dedicated to participating in public appearances for causes they care about.
Having relinquished their royal patronages and military appointments, Meghan and Harry continue to prioritize engagements that support issues and charities close to their hearts.
Recently, it was announced that the couple would be attending Saturday’s Global Citizen Live event in Central Park.
Their participation underscores their ongoing commitment to working with world leaders to advocate for global vaccine equity and combat the Covid-19 pandemic on a global scale.
