Prince Harry’s recent return to Britain has stirred fresh speculation about his marriage after body language experts noted a noticeable shift in his demeanor without wife Meghan Markle by his side.
According to RadarOnline, the Duke of Sussex appeared more at ease and “relaxed” during his solo visit, prompting some to wonder if the couple may be heading toward a split.
“You can read it in his body language – he seems more relaxed when Meghan isn’t with him,” an insider close to Harry told the outlet. “People think he’s enjoying the independence, and it’s only added to the speculation that a split could be on the horizon between him and Meghan.”
Another source echoed the observation, saying, “Harry’s body language has set tongues wagging. He seems happier and freer when Meghan isn’t around, and people close to him believe he’s enjoying the sense of being himself again. It’s fueling all these rumors that a split with Meghan may be made official.”
During his September 8 visit to Windsor Castle, Harry marked the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing by visiting her grave and laying flowers. Later that day, he attended the WellChild Awards at London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel, an event he has supported for years.
Body language expert Darren Stanton suggested Harry demonstrated a greater sense of ease throughout his solo appearances. “When Harry is with Meghan, he’s very conscious about looking after her. He wants to manage things and look out for her. But when he’s on his own, there is such a massive shift in his internal emotion,” Stanton explained.
The expert pointed to Harry’s confident gestures on stage as evidence of his comfort level. “When he’s at the podium, his hands are open, which means he’s speaking authentically from the heart, with no nerves. When he’s on his own, he doesn’t have all these balls to juggle, and he can relax,” Stanton said.
Harry’s solo trip also included a private meeting with King Charles at Clarence House on September 10, the first father-son meeting in 19 months. Though details of their discussion remain private, the reunion added significance to Harry’s brief return to his homeland.
While neither Harry nor Meghan has addressed the swirling rumors, observers note the contrast between his public appearances with and without his wife. For now, the speculation continues, fueled by subtle shifts in Harry’s body language and the ongoing scrutiny of the couple’s high-profile marriage.
