Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be more in sync than ever, mirroring each other during a passionate public kiss, says a body language expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen sharing a tender moment at a Sentebale event in Miami on Friday. This comes after the couple announced their new Netflix series about polo.
Before their public display of affection, they were spotted strolling hand in hand, all smiles, ahead of Harry’s fundraising polo match in Florida, with a film crew following them.
The annual Sentebale Polo Cup is a charity event that supports young people and children living in southern Africa. It was co-founded by Prince Harry in 2006.
For this event, Harry led the Royal Salute Sentebale Team against the Grand Champions Team, emerging victorious.
When Harry’s team clinched the win and he was awarded the trophy, Meghan was there to celebrate his victory with a big kiss, likely captured by the film crew.
Speaking to The Mirror about the Sussexes’ recent public display of affection, body language expert Judi James analysed the kiss and suggested that the couple are more alike than ever.
“The couple famously have previous when it comes to Polo Kissing,” she said.
Ms James added: “In 2018 they were locking lips at a similar event and it’s easy to spot some intrinsic differences in their way of handling this very traditional royal PDA.”
“Back in 2018 Harry, looking all fired-up and full of passion after hammering around on the polo field planted a very sexy kiss on Meghan’s lips, giving the kiss a ‘get a room!’ quality. His expression was serious and he looked lost in the moment as he turned his head but kept his torso facing front.”
“Meghan tilted her head back in the same neck-baring gesture of submission that Diana used when she kissed Charles on their wedding day. The polo trophy looked irrelevant and they almost had to be reminded it was supposed to be handed over.”
Discussing the couple’s recent display of affection at the polo, Judi observed that their latest polo kiss “shows the love is still there but it is a much sweeter, more fun PDA, performed with both their hands on the trophy prize”.
“The side view of their faces shows both have raised and rounded cheeks here, making it a smiling kiss that suggests good humour and higher levels of sociability than they showed when they appeared lost in the moment back in 2018,” she added.
Judi summed up by stating: “It’s Harry craning his neck here and Meghan’s heels make her able to kiss at a more even angle. The body language is more mirrored here, illustrating the levels of like-minded synchronicity that has grown over the years.”
