“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me,” Trump told the Express, adding that he believes the Royal Family was “too gracious” to Harry after “what he has done.”

“He would be on his own if it was down to me,” the former president added.

At present, Harry is not a US citizen, though he has considered becoming one. Speaking with ABC News, he said it had crossed his mind to apply for citizenship, but that it’s “certainly not” a high priority.

Harry ‘signaled devil horns’ during Melania Trump meeting, conspiracy theories claimed

Now let’s head back to Harry’s first time meeting Melania, which by all accounts went well. In 2017, before attending the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in Toronto, Harry, then a working royal, met Melania, becoming the first member of the Royal Family to meet a Trump since the 2016 Presidential Election in the process.

Melania and Harry spent about 30 minutes together in a room at the Sheraton Hotel before the Duke had to leave to attend another engagement. Besides having a brief conversation, pictures of the two were taken.

And, inevitably, there was one detail in the photo that left some royal fans shocked. Did Harry flash the sign of the devil?

In the picture of Melania and Harry, the Duke held his hand half-tucked into his jacket. The pinky and index fingers were sticking out, and online, theories were abound concerning Harry making ‘devil horns’. The symbol can reportedly be traced back to the Middle Ages to ward off evil spirits.

Conspiracy theorists on what was then Twitter exploded, convinced that Harry was flashing the sign of the devil were standing beside Melania. Several body language experts, meanwhile, say otherwise.

For example, body language Patti Wood spoke to the Huffington Post, saying that people were misunderstanding Harry’s gesture.

While she argued it wasn’t the devil horns, the gesture could have other meanings.

“This is called the horn or the devil’s horn, and what people are saying in the media about it is not correct,” Patti Wood said. “It is not a sign that he’s the devil, but rather a warning off of evil spirits. It’s a protective gesture against evil or darkness and illness.”

The body language expert explained that putting one hand on the stomach could be seen as an act of self-comfort. Wood went on to explain that several world leaders have used the same gesture when pictured alongside Donald Trump.

“I’ve seen world leaders in photo shoots with Trump and I see a lot of what are called self-comfort cues. This would be considered one of those. It looks like the devil’s horn but it is also hand to belly,” Wood concluded.

“At the very least it would be a comfort cue, and show a lot of tension and a need to protect his central core.”

Another body language expert, Joe Navarro, explained that Harry’s somewhat odd hand placement could mean any number of things. However, none of them have anything to do with the devil.

“Had the photographers loitered too long? Is there something else going on?” Navarro said.

“I have to wonder, was he going to unbutton his jacket and then changed his mind? Was he in prep for sitting and then they asked him to stand again to do more photos? To me, you can’t draw too many inferences from the photo. I wouldn’t personally read too much into that.”

“A self-soothing behavior”

The body language expert added: “There was some psychological discomfort. The look of his face, the look of his hand is very unusual, except for the fact that he and his brother have a tendency to cover their belly which is a self-soothing behavior to deal with a bit of tension.”

Another body language expert, Tonya Reiman, spoke to Inside Edition about Harry’s gesture. She claimed he was simply getting comfortable.

“For me, this was more of a comfort gesture,” she said. “Covering your stomach makes you feel more relaxed, more comfortable. When he heard the cameras going off, he was just getting comfortable.”
