Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have noticeably adjusted the dynamics of their relationship over the past year. Once known for their public displays of affection and strong chemistry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now appear to be focusing on showing off their individual identities rather than their partnership.
Body language expert Judi James shared her insights with Fabulous, affirming, “Harry and Meghan were always the quintessential celebrity BOGOF couple (as in ‘buy one get one free’). As a real couple, their tactile, loving and often intimate PDA was constant and instinctive. They hugged, kissed, and touched each other frequently and emphatically. Their brand was built around their complementary double act.”
However, James noticed a change in his recent appearances. “One of their most recent outings together shows them comfortably standing as ‘bookends’ for this pose instead of being welded in the middle as they would have been before.”
He noted that, unlike before, they now take on more of a hosting role rather than appearing as the inseparable double act. “Instead of posing as the star couple focusing primarily on each other, they present themselves individually and also do not reflect each other,” he explained.
This shift suggests that Harry and Meghan are now embracing their roles as independent figures, highlighting their individual strengths and personalities as they navigate their public image outside of the royal family.
