Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle celebrated Valentine’s Day on Saturday by sitting courtside at an NBA game. Days later, a body language expert is speaking out to claim that Harry was clearly very “uncomfortable” with this stunt, which is believed to have been concocted by Meghan.
Meghan’s Valentine’s Day Stunt
Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, were all smiles as they sat courtside at the 75th All-Star Game in California on Saturday night. At one point, Meghan stroked Harry’s arm to get his attention as they were shown on the Jumbotron screen.
Body language expert Judi James, however, was not having any of this. According to her, Meghan was far more game for this outing than Harry was.
Judi told The Mirror that Meghan’s main goal seemed to be to make herself and Harry look like the perfect couple to onlookers. She was reportedly far more concerned about this than she was about Harry actually enjoying their date night.
“Meghan’s wide symmetric smile for the cameras and raised and rounded cheeks suggest she’s delighted by the attention and the opportunity to create her own perfectly curated set of Valentine love signals to show off her relationship with Harry,” Judi said.
“She holds his thigh in a possessive and flirty looking gesture or she clings onto his arm with both hands to register closeness, furiously rubbing his arm to alert him to the Jumbotron and urge him to join in with her smiling excitement,” the body language expert continued.
Judi went on to say that Meghan appeared to be enthralled with the action on the basketball court. ‘
“Her legs are crossed toward Harry, suggesting exclusive snuggling and when they speak she leans her head close, keeping her eyes fixed on the action,” Judi explained.
Meanwhile, Harry did not seem to be comfortable with the attention that they were receiving.
“Harry appears less comfortable posing for the camera here,” Judi concluded. “His mouth smile looks effortful and doesn’t really reach his eyes. His wide leg splay hints at confidence but maybe just a desire to enjoy watching the game.”
Meghan’s Valentine’s Day Post
Meghan also celebrated Valentine’s Day by taking to Instagram to post a photo of Harry with their 4 year-old daughter Lilibet.
“These two + Archie = my forever Valentines,” Meghan wrote in the caption.
This was a reference to Meghan and Harry’s son Archie, who is 6 years-old.
Last month marked six years since Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior royals. They then moved across the world to Southern California, where Meghan was born and raised.
Prior to her 2018 marriage to Harry, Meghan spent years desperately trying to make it as an actress. Though she was eventually cast on the cable television series Suits, Meghan never came close to achieving the A-list level of fame that she craved before her marriage.
Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that Harry is homesick for his native England. The way he behaved on Saturday night will certainly add credence to these claims in a big way. Only time will tell if Meghan and Harry’s marriage will actually survive 2026!
