Prince Harry sparked concerns among fans with his hesitation over Meghan Markle's latest online stunt, appearing uncomfortable as he was seemingly forced to support her in the video.
The Duchess of Sussex's Instagram Story video, showing her celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series win, left the couple's fans in trouble.
In the clip, which Markle posted on November 1 after the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in an 11-inning showdown, Harry looked unexcited and reluctant.
The royal didn't even join his wife to watch the game, sitting alone in a chair in the media room of their Montecito mansion.
When camera turns to Harry he shows no excitemnet, while on the right side of the screen screams and "What? What? What?" could be heard.
The Duke was allegedly forced to make his appearance in the video amid ongoing royal family crisis over Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's Scandals and controversies.
'Initially, Harry was hesitant to participate in Meghan's video, but ultimately he gave in to her wife's request,' an insider close to the couple claimed.
'His body language explained his discomfort,' they added.
Traci Brown, behaviour analyst, reviewed the video, and what stood out to her was the starkly different reactions of the couple, which resulted in "big messages of inauthenticity.'
In the video, even The With Love, Meghan star entered from the left and made an unusual walk toward her husband, who hadn't budged. She bent down to plant a kiss on Harry, who half-heartedly reciprocated, before turning and jumping up and down in celebration with pal Kelly McKee Zajfen.
However, people's reactions to the gesture were mixed, with some slamming Harry's appearance in the clip, saying he seemed uncomfortable or 'unfit'.
The insider went on: 'Harry and Meghan's relationship is about what they share behind closed doors, not what's staged for the cameras.'
A body language expert appears agreed to the fact, adding: 'Harry's gesture was exposing what the couple usually hide in front of cameras. He has a closed fist covering his mouth, which clearly reveals there's a little stress there.'
Meghan and Harry frequently dominate headlines with their public displays of affection. However, beneath the carefully curated moments of harmony and love, subtle gestures often reveal a more complex story.
