The List spoke exclusively to a body language expert who breaks down the moment.
What does this viral video of Harry and Meghan really mean?
“Meghan takes Harry’s hand, and he looks away to shade his expression from her.”
Bowden adds that the prince may have wanted to appear more professional, given the United Nations setting.
Why did Prince Harry pull his hand away?
But a moment later, the camera clearly shows that Harry squeezes Meghan’s hand.
Bowden explains that this indicates an acknowledgement of the couple’s intimacy.
Was Harry’s mind on something stressful?
Or is it some current thoughts in his mind that she is aware of?"
Meghan is then seen looking down briefly before raising her chin.
Did she realize that the prince might need a moment to chill?
“Their hands now apart, he soothes by moving the ring on his finger,” says Bowden.
Bowden explains that this is a self-soothing gesture on her part.
“Both may be locked into a pattern of discomfort right now,” Bowden says.
Could that viral Harry and Meghan video tell only part of the story?
Or are we seeing only part of the bigger picture?
The two also exchange warm smiles as they look into each other’s eyes.
…[Meghan] is obviously a woman who knows what she wants.
