At Beyoncé’s star-studded concert, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle smiled for the cameras, but a closer look at their body language is raising more questions than answers.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posed for photos at Beyoncé’s recent concert, the world took notice. But it wasn’t just the glamor or star-studded setting that drew attention. A deeper layer emerged—an analysis of their body language that sparked debate across social media.

Body language expert Judi James offered a detailed breakdown of the couple’s pose. Speaking to The Sun, she described their moment as far from spontaneous. James characterized their body language as highly curated, likening it to a staged, “Photo-Me-booth” moment with little evidence of genuine spontaneity or natural interaction.

At the center of her analysis was Meghan’s carefully positioned hand on Harry’s chest. She noted that the flattened shape of the hand contributed to the impression of a deliberate, performative gesture.

The straight fingers, lacking a natural bend, and their precise placement on Harry’s chest suggested possession and closeness. James noted that this pose evoked nostalgia, reminiscent of a formal engagement or wedding announcement.

In her view, Meghan’s body language conveyed more than affection—it was a visual message. James interpreted the gesture as a public declaration, signaling that the couple remained united and close, much like during their early days of engagement.

She concluded that Meghan seemed focused on sending a strong, clear message that their relationship remained intact and affectionate. James also analyzed Prince Harry’s posture and expressions, describing it as awkward and uncomfortable.

She said Harry’s arm around Meghan appeared unusually high and stiff, giving the impression of discomfort rather than ease. His hand, too, seemed deliberately posed instead of naturally relaxed.

While he tried to appear casual by placing his other hand in his pocket, James remarked that the effort fell short. She likened his demeanor to someone out of place in a world of celebrity spectacle.

She felt that Harry appeared more introspective and anxious, especially when compared to Meghan, who seemed to fully embrace the concert as an immersive and enjoyable experience. James also pointed out that Meghan’s overall presentation seemed to echo her past in the acting industry.

The couple’s concert moment quickly spread online, with reactions split between admiration and critique. “Strange behavior. Secure couples don’t behave this way,” one person commented on X. Another called the display “trying hard,” while a third remarked“Looks artificial.”

In a video clip that circulated shortly after the event, some viewers focused on a moment when Harry leaned in for a kiss. “M doesn’t look too enamored of the ‘kiss’… trying too hard and falling as per usual [sic],” wrote one observer. Another added“The kiss is cringe. She’s not into it.”

Echoing that sentiment, a commenter noted“Harry is genuine in these but she is definitely NOT that into him. Her face gives her away every time.” Yet not everyone saw the pose as problematic. Supporters defended the couple, applauding their affection and unity.

“Love this for them,” one person wrote“So nice to see a genuinely happy couple that could care less about the haters, who probably aren’t happy with their own lives.”

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear—Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to captivate, whether through their actions, expressions or simply their presence.

We previously reported that Meghan and Prince Harry turned heads at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as they joined thousands of fans for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour. The couple, often seen in more formal settings, embraced the concert’s playful energy in full force—and the moment quickly made waves online.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted dancing, smiling, and blending into the crowd during the high-energy performance. Later, a behind-the-scenes photo of the couple appeared on Beyoncé’s official website. It showed Meghan and Harry cozied up in the VIP lounge, beaming as they watched the pop icon perform.

The Duchess wore a fitted denim dress with minimal makeup and loose waves, leaning into the show’s Western theme with a lighthearted, relaxed style. Harry complemented her look in a black T-shirt, jeans, and a grey jacket—topped off with a dark green cowboy hat.

The hat itself sparked special interest. Meghan revealed a close-up of its inner brim, which featured a custom monogram: the names of their children, Archie and Lili, alongside “My Love,” Harry’s nickname for her. The detail also included both U.S. and U.K. flags, reflecting the couple’s bicontinental ties.

“About last night… Thank you Beyoncé and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night) All love,” Meghan captioned her post. One clip showed Meghan cheering as Beyoncé rode a floating American-style car across the stage.

Some fans focused on the Duke’s appearance. “Harry totally has a broken nose in this picture,” observed one user. Another asked“What happened to his nose?” A third person echoed“Harry looks so different.” Another noted“Top of his nose is still red. Did he break it or something?”

Others turned their attention to fashion. Criticism ranged from confusion to disapproval. “I don’t understand what she is wearing,” one person wrote“In addition to her clothes never fitting her properly, she’s never dressed right for the occasion.”

Another commented“I’m confused as to what event they both individually thought they were getting dressed for. Because together it looks weird.” Amid the scrutiny, one user offered a neutral take, writing“Beautiful dress! Harry looks like he was gardening and was led into a waiting car by one of those LED cat laser toys.”

Despite the mixed commentary, the evening provided a rare, relaxed glimpse of the couple enjoying a night out. While Meghan and Prince Harry’s concert night out captured the public’s attention, it also offered a glimpse into a deeper theme emerging in their relationship.

In March, Meghan revealed to People that she and Harry have entered what she called a second “honeymoon period,” despite having been married for seven years. The Duchess attributed the renewed spark between them to her recent professional ventures.

She spoke about how launching her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, and working on her upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan” had reignited her creative energy. That return to passion, she suggested, brought her and Harry closer.

Meghan explained that Harry first met her when she was running The Tig, her now-closed lifestyle blog. “I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she said.

She described it as feeling almost like a return to the early days of their relationship. According to Meghan, Harry enjoys watching her immersed in her creative process—writing, editing, and shaping ideas—just as much as she enjoys doing it. “It’s just been fun,” she added. “This is who I’ve always been.”

That sentiment carried over into her first-ever podcast interview, featured on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. In the candid conversation, Meghan called Harry “such a great partner” and said that she now feels she is truly able to enjoy him. “Seven years later, when you have a little bit of breathing space, you can just enjoy each other in a new way,” she said.

She went on to express how her affection for Harry has only grown. With a light-hearted tone, she described being more in love than ever, even jokingly calling her husband a “fox.” “If you haven’t noticed,” she added, “my husband is very, very handsome.”

Their appearance at Beyoncé’s concert wasn’t just a public outing—it reflected a private bond that, according to Meghan, has grown stronger with time.
