Known for their close and connected body language, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appeared to undergo a subtle shift, as noted by a royal expert towards the conclusion of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral services.
The body language experts, including Jesús Enrique Rosas, popularly known as The Body Language Guy, highlighted a moment where Meghan and Harry, who had stayed closely intertwined during the funeral, seemed to create distance as they entered a Rolls Royce to leave the funeral venue.
Rosas, recounting the scene on his YouTube channel, observed, "Meghan enters the car, and Harry follows suit. Initially close, he's about to cross his leg but refrains, opting to sit farther away from Meghan. She follows suit, and by the time the door seals shut, they've shifted to opposite sides, distancing themselves."
While acknowledging the presence of an armrest between them, Rosas emphasized their deliberate move away from it, sliding closer to their respective car doors. Notably, the absence of their usual hand-holding further underscored this perceived distancing.
Tyler Perry, the actor and producer, offered a contrasting perspective, asserting that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are deeply in love. Perry, a vocal supporter of the couple, shared his admiration during an interview with Jenna Bush and Hoda Kotb. He expressed his support by providing them refuge in his home amid security concerns, stating that if he can't have a love like theirs, he doesn't want it.
Perry conveyed, "What I know about the two of them, and I wish the world knew, is how much they love. These two people love each other. They found each other against all odds, and that's really amazing."
Considering potential alternative explanations, the observed distancing in body language could be attributed to the couple's potential exhaustion from the numerous ceremonies and the scrutiny of the world. Tensions with the royal family might have contributed to signs of frustration or distress.
Even if Rosas's analysis holds merit, the narrative suggests that moments of space in relationships, particularly after solemn events like funerals, are not uncommon. In the midst of public scrutiny, it's conceivable that Harry and Meghan sought a brief respite, desiring a quiet moment together.
