Meghan Markle, Prince Harry going through shift in their relationship

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are going through a shift in their relationship, a body language expert has claimed following the royal couple’s latest joint appearance.

Meghan and Harry recently attended this year's Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of Girls Scouts documentary Cookie Queens.

They served as executive producers of the film through their media company, Archewell Productions, cheerily posed for photos with director Alysa Nahmias.

Commenting on the joint appearance of the royal couple, body language expert Judi James noted a 'missed beat' look to their body language, "as though Meghan and Harry are rebranding or just not quite in kilter at this event".

Speaking to the Daily Express US, Judi claims that Meghan in particular appears tense and not as in control as she usually is.

The expert says, "Meghan's smile suggests some tension or hints that she may not have felt quite as pitch-perfect in control of the posing. Her teeth look edge-to-edge, and her smile doesn't quite make it to the eyes."

Judi continued Meghan left hand placement is not in keeping with her current 'catwalk chic' look, either pushed into her pocket or dangling awkwardly by the thumb."

Prince Harry, on the other hand, "actually looks a little more relaxed here, although his closed lip, tempered smile doesn't mirror his wife's expression".
