Analyzing their body language, James told The Express, "Harry's splayed chest and long-reach wave here suggests he's at peak confidence and peak levels of delight here."

The expert noted that Meghan clinging onto Harry's hand signal that she is trying to "retain his attention.”

"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 expert shared.
