At the Invictus Games, Meghan Markle’s gestures toward Prince Harry sparked analysis from body language expert Judi James.
James noted that Meghan’s affectionate displays seemed more than natural expressions of love. Instead, they appeared to be a deliberate attempt to project unity and devotion.
“Her ‘limpet clinging’ trait looks like a projection signal, as if she’s trying to send a message to the world through exaggerated body language,” James explained.
During the opening ceremony, body language expert Judi James noted that Prince Harry maintained a “modest” stance, while Meghan leaned in, highlighting him as a heroic figure.
James observed Meghan’s strong affectionate gestures, though Harry didn’t always reciprocate, sometimes staying upright or leaning away.
She suggested Meghan was crafting a deliberate visual message, using gestures like interlocking fingers to signal connection and “ownership.”
At an ice hockey game, Meghan rested her head on Harry’s bicep—a move James interpreted as a submissive gesture, portraying Harry as a protective figure.
Body language expert Judi James highlighted Meghan Markle’s awareness of the cameras at the Invictus Games, noting that her affectionate stances and head tilts seemed designed for a picture-perfect display of unity.
