She told the Mirror: “Harry might claim that ‘these guys’ i.e. the athletes, are the stars of the show but it is clearly all about Harry’s ‘Mission’ and his reactions and feelings plus some footage of him actually in action on the skeleton run.”
The expert said that Meghan’s body language shows how “supportive” and “encouraging” she is to Harry which shows she “clearly” wants to “be more than Harry’s ‘Plus one’ here”.
James explained: “When he squats to chat to athletes she squats right alongside him and her body language rituals define her as very much a part of him in the communication.
“Her head is close to his and her reactions mirror his during the chats, showing her to be sharing the conversations with her husband rather than doing her own thing.”
According to the expert, the skeleton ride left the prince in a “clear state of exhilaration”.
She added: “Meghan is in support and congratulatory mode again, walking into shot with both hands held out in a proffered hug. Harry keeps his safety helmet in his hands though, signalling a decline of the hug, while he continues chatting to the guy next to him.”
And that’s when Meghan gets caught in an awkward moment, as the expert explained: “[She looked]so keen to join in and to enjoy the exhilaration with Harry. [But] she was left with a truncated hug plus two other conversion gestures of slight awkwardness as she waits.
“She touches her face then raises her hand in a polite signal of a wish to speak. She then touches her knitted hat and in the end taps Harry to get his attention, smiling and covering her mouth in a collusive giggly grin before saying ‘Well done’.”
