Prince Harry’s recent solo appearances in Britain have sparked renewed speculation about possible strains in his marriage to Meghan Markle. Observers and experts suggest that the Duke of Sussex’s demeanor has shifted noticeably during public events without his wife by his side.
Body language specialist Darren Stanton discussed the changes in an interview with RadarOnline. He pointed out that Harry appeared far more at ease throughout his four-day tour of the United Kingdom, which included an hour-long private meeting with King Charles at Clarence House.
According to Stanton, Harry’s relaxed presence during the visit highlighted a striking difference. He explained that the Duke seemed to carry less weight when alone. “When he’s on his own, he doesn’t have all these balls to juggle, and he can relax,” Stanton said.
The expert described Harry as “animated” during speeches, noting his expressive hand gestures and confident posture. He suggested that the lack of “consciousness” over looking after his wife exposed a “massive shift” in Harry’s “internal emotion.”
Reports from those close to the prince also suggest he is enjoying his independence. “Not only does the Duke seem happier and freer without his wife around, but he’s enjoying the sense of being himself again,” one insider claimed. This perception has fueled rumors that “a split with Meghan may be made official.”
Some accounts go even further, alleging the couple is “already living separate lives” and “are on the verge of announcing a split to the world.” Neither Harry nor Meghan has addressed the speculation, leaving room for continued debate.
During the tour, Harry attended several charitable events, where his remarks carried both confidence and moments of reflection. A source noted, “Although he’s confident, there were moments of poignancy when he spoke about how much has changed since he first became involved in the charity. Deep down, he misses his family. He makes reference to family elsewhere in the speech.”
The visit, which also included Harry laying flowers at Queen Elizabeth II’s grave at Windsor Castle, has drawn international attention not only for his royal engagements but also for the personal questions it has raised.
While speculation about the couple’s relationship has surfaced before, Harry’s most recent body language has provided fresh material for those predicting a rift. For now, the rumors remain unconfirmed, but experts agree the Duke’s solo presence highlights a version of him that appears more at ease, fueling questions about the future of his marriage.
