She’s the Duchess of Sussex now, but Meghan Markle knows something important: her husband, Prince Harry, has been navigating royal waters a lot longer than she has. And when it comes to those high-profile royal engagements, Meghan’s body language speaks volumes. According to experts, she’s often working hard to make sure she doesn’t outshine Harry during public appearances.
Take it from Harper’s Bazaar UK, who reported that Meghan, now 37, has mastered a few "subtle techniques" to ensure Harry, 33, stays front and center. Body language expert Judi James broke it down for the magazine, explaining that Meghan often nudges Harry to walk ahead of her during public outings. It’s a move that might seem small, but it carries a lot of meaning in the world of royal protocol.
Meghan's Royal Strategy: Why She Keeps Harry in the Lead
James explained that Meghan’s approach is rooted in theater—something she knows a thing or two about as a former actress. “It’s quite a theatrical-based technique. She’s well aware that Harry is the star and popular among royal fans, so as a former actress, she’s very cleverly trying not to upstage him,” James said. By letting Harry take the lead, Meghan not only boosts his confidence but also reinforces his role as the alpha male in the relationship. This subtle move plays well with the public, too. “It will work well with the public,” James added.

Meghan’s confidence is undeniable, despite her relative newcomer status in the royal family. “As the older partner in the relationship with slightly more experience in A-list situations, I’d say she’s more confident than Harry by a mile,” James noted. Yet, Meghan understands the importance of protocol and knows how to navigate the delicate balance of being a modern royal.
Meghan's Touch: A Gesture of Control and Affection
If you’ve ever noticed Meghan gently placing her hand on Harry’s back, you’re not alone. According to James, this move isn’t just about guidance—it’s also about connection. “Meghan’s penchant for backseat driving is seen in her constant touching of Harry’s back with the palm of her hand,” James explained. “It’s quite a controlling quasi-maternal support gesture, pushing him along, but it’s also flirtatious.”
This touch isn’t just about control; it’s also about Meghan asserting her comfort in royal situations. “She’s conscious of the importance of protocol,” James continued. “Meghan could easily upstage Harry with the international interest in her fashion. I don’t think her positioning of herself behind Harry has an iota to do with lacking in confidence.”
