A body language expert claimed to Express.co.uk that Meghan and Harry were in “two different states” at the Invictus Games.
Body language expert Judi James exclusively told Express.co.uk: “It’s easy to see that Harry and Meghan’s attachment rituals look more crucial and even functional to Meghan here than to Harry and that their body language approach to these Games has often thrown up two very different states.
“His speech at the closing ceremony was an example of this new and contrasting approach.
“While Meghan’s speech on her arrival contained many ‘I’ statements about herself and the children etc, Harry’s speech at the closing ceremony was very ‘you’ as he threw the spotlight back onto the audience and one audience member in particular, whose very moving story he told in detail.”

Judi added: “Harry and Meghan’s body language here illustrates this new and rather contrasting approach.
“They arrive holding hands but their facial expressions are dissimilar. Meghan looks around at the audience with a wide smile of acknowledgement while Harry’s gaze is fixed ahead and his expression looks serious.
“When they sit together, Meghan uses touch, with her hand on Harry’s arm, to gain and retain his attention as she speaks. Again their facial expressions are dissimilar.

“Harry’s smile is reserved for an athlete in the crowd and he grins as he enjoys a very firm hand clasp greeting with him.
“Meghan still has hold of Harry’s free hand though and uses it to ‘anchor’ him here and perhaps remind him that she would also like to join the greeting.”
The Invictus Games came to a close after seven days of competitions. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also joined the celebrations.
In his speech to close the event, Prince Harry said the Invictus Games were a “platform for positive change”.
On her final day at the Invictus Games, Meghan hosted a private reading of an inspiring story for children.
