Ever since the news of the Queen’s death broke across the world, all eyes have been on the royal family – especially Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their tense relationship with the rest of the royals.
And according to body language expert, Dr Louise Mahler, there’s far more behind that moment the Duke and Duchess of Sussex held hands as they joined stoic Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, for a walkaround at Windsor Castle following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Their relationship is more complicated than it seems.

“It’s angry. Jaws up, his brows down, and then he grabs her hand from over the top. He’s protecting, he’s just full-on bodyguard, and she’s playing weak.

“Her legs are crossing over, her arms are tight, she seems very unstable physically and he holds her up and protects her”
Is Prince Harry being over-protective of Meghan Markle?

In another shocking revelation, Dr Mahler spilled that the body language between the ‘Fab Four’ seems to be tenser than ever before.
“What is absolutely clear, is that William and Kate do not want to be associated with them,” she explains.
“They are being polite. There’s very minimal, if any, eye contact. Distance is being kept. The only conversation is about logistics, what’s happening now, and even the arm goes up to protect from William against Harry, no eye contact, moving off.
“Harry has ‘I am peeved’ written all over his face. He’s angry and protecting Meghan with his hand on her back. They’re showing ‘we are different. You don’t want us to be royal, we will not walk the straight line. So we will hold hands’.
“It’s not normal royal protocol to hold hands in that environment – everyone else was spaced very clearly – but they’re together. That’s a statement,” she explains.
“Yes, they’re supporting each other. But they’re saying, ‘We don’t have to follow the royal protocols’.
“That’s really obvious, I think.”
