Meghan Markle’s heartfelt feelings for her husband Prince Harry came to light during their recent trip to Colombia. The Duchess of Sussex, who bravely spoke about her past struggles with suicidal thoughts during a public appearance, visibly sought out Harry’s support as she recounted her ordeal.
Body language expert Judi James analyzed Meghan’s behaviornoticing subtle cues that revealed her inner emotions. “As Meghan shares her own story of suicidal thoughts, she performs various hair-grooming rituals and a wry, mirthless smile that suggests she is being politely brave,” James observed.
“Her hand reaches out to hold Harry’s leg as if seeking his support, though he remains sitting relatively still with his head cocked, watching her face with what looks like concern.” James also noted Harry’s subtle signs of anxiety as Meghan shared her painful experiences. “When she looks down, her fingers rub together in what looks like anxiety as Meghan describes what she has ‘overcome’ after ‘not being believed,’” he added.
Meghan first spoke out about her trauma during a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she discussed the difficulties she faced while living in the UK. Reflecting on her experience, Meghan said: “When you’ve been through any level of grief or trauma, I think part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it.
“I haven’t scratched the surface of my experience, but I don’t think I would ever want anyone else to feel that way, I would never want anyone else to make those kinds of plans and I would never want anyone else to not be believed.” Meghan stressed the importance of sharing her story, in the hope that it can help others in similar situations.
“If me expressing what I’ve overcome can save someone or encourage someone in their life to actually care about them and not assume that appearance is good and everything is fine, then it’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that,” she added. Throughout their trip to Colombia, Meghan’s trust in Harry and visible concern underscored the deep bond between the couple as they continue to navigate their public and personal lives together.
