Body language expert sees tension in Harry’s protective grip on Meghan’s shoulder
Prince Harry and Meghan made their first joint public appearance in the UK since returning after six years in California, attending engagements in Nottingham. Body language expert Judi James said their embraces and smiles conveyed a joyful return, while Harry’s tight grip on Meghan’s shoulder suggested tension and a wish to protect her.
About 100 people gathered to meet the couple, who greeted the crowd, took selfies and watched an acting workshop. James also interpreted Meghan’s self-embrace and hand near her throat as possible signs of vulnerability; these are her readings of the couple’s gestures, not established facts about their feelings.

Their public appearances can attract attention because they sit between family ties and the couple’s former royal roles. Body language experts offer interpretations of gestures, but these cannot establish what someone is feeling.
