Speaking to express, Ms James revealed that Meghan Markle is seemingly hungry for Prince Harry‘s attention.

Her body language was noticed as the couple arrived at the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum.

Ms James told the Daily Express: "Harry's splayed chest and long-reach wave here suggests he's at peak confidence and peak levels of delight here."

She continued: "Meghan's wide smile appears to match the delight signals, but her hand-holding and bicep clasp give a slightly needier signal of firm attachment as though she's keen to retain his attention."

The ongoing trip to Australia, marks Meghan and Harry‘s first after exiting a senior Royals back in 2020.

The couple now lives in Montecito, California along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
