She said: “Meghan seemed to treat this red carpet appearance as a full-blown Hollywood one. She looked regal and gracious in her elegant ballgown and pulled the kind of moves A-list celebrity couples perform, like the romantic gesture of ownership as she places a hand on Harry’s chest.”
She told the Mail:”Meghan was fully in charge of the steering on the night, gently nudging Harry around and at one point pulling his hand out of his trouser pocket so that she could hold hands with him to walk into the venue.
“Harry was showing body language signs of anxiety as they posed for their red carpet photos, but these increased and peaked once the couple were inside the venue and being ushered to their seats.”
Although VIPs at the event were sat in the front row, the expert discussed how Meghan was “ushered” to a seat a few rows back.
She added: ‘While her smile suggests her expression of utter graciousness was unflinching, Harry clearly hangs back, performing several gestures of reluctance, discomfort and even indecision.’
According to Ms James, this is not the first time that the couple have appeared to view themselves as “A-listers”.
At the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf in September 2023, she said the pair presented themselves as a “celebrity power couple” during a rock star welcome.
Later that year, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden accused Meghan of looking more like a Hollywood ‘wannabe’ than a member of the Royal Family.
