Meghan Markle took center stage at the\u00a0TIME100 Summit in New York City<\/a> on Wednesday – and it left Prince Harry<\/a> assuming the role of ‘spare’ once again, according to a body language expert.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex<\/a>, 43, commanded attention as she arrived at the event – where she opened up about ‘making mistakes’<\/a> and son Archie’s recent major milestone<\/a> – in a\u00a0$5,000 Ralph Lauren suit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a series of snapshots, her husband chaperoned the mom-of-two from their private car as she arrived at the venue – before also being around to greet her at the end of her stint on stage.<\/p>\n

To the untrained eye, some might have considered Harry, 40, to be merely adopting the role of doting husband but body language expert Judi James<\/a>\u00a0has since pointed out some ‘awkwardness.’<\/p>\n

Discussing the couple’s appearance exclusively with DailyMail.com, she shared: ‘Whether Harry’s leading or lurking here he appears to be in the role of “spare,” displaying some awkward-looking body language poses while a more assured Meghan takes the starring role.’<\/p>\n

Of their arrival, Judi explained:\u00a0‘By the time they’re arriving for the greetings it seems to be Meghan very much in the lead while Harry lurks behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Meghan uses one key non-verbal cue or tell here to elevate her celebrity or star status.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘While her arms are bent at a 45-degree angle her hands adopt a “celebrity wilt,” dangling from her bent wrists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This is a gesture that suggests a form of specialness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s also called the “broken wing” gesture and although it suggests physical weakness or vulnerability it reflects status power as in “I don’t need my hands as I have people to open my doors and tow me along.”‘<\/p>\n

She continued: ‘It’s Meghan who works the cameras here and instigates the gracious-looking hugs of friendship.<\/p>\n

‘Harry waits his turn in a way that would have been unthinkable during his time in the royal family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘His jacket hangs open and his expression is more intense and less radiant than his wife’s.’<\/p>\n

Following Meghan’s appearance at the event, which also saw Ryan Reynolds take to the stage<\/a>, the high-profile couple were spotted once again – this time leaving via a side door, flanked by security.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Harry is towing his wife alone in a classic celebrity pose,’ Judi shared.<\/p>\n

‘His chest might be splayed but the way his knees are bent in a “frogs-leg” position creates an air of awkwardness as he turns to look back in a checking gesture that directs camera attention to her, making hers look like the star arrival.’<\/p>\n

Meghan has come under fire in recent months, facing backlash over both her new Netflix show and her lifestyle brand, As Ever\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The next pose shows Harry still in that same awkward-looking pose but here his hands are at his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘His body language looks slightly off-script here as it’s Meghan having to eye-check his face while holding out her hand to re-establish the romantic gesture of the hand clasp,’ Judi concluded.<\/p>\n

Meghan has come under fire in recent months, facing backlash over both her new Netflix show and her lifestyle brand, As Ever.<\/p>\n

Her series With Love, Meghan – which saw her and a rolodex of her famous friends in the kitchen as they prepared elaborate recipes and created home d\u00e9cor items – premiered last month on the streaming service, but instantly, it was met with negative reviews from critics and viewers alike.<\/p>\n

The launch of her company As Ever was also plagued by problems as some customers were left disappointed after their orders were canceled due to overselling.<\/p>\n

In addition, it was revealed earlier this week that Meghan has tried to land an A-lister like Beyonce and Taylor Swift for her new female empowerment podcast, which is reportedly already in crisis after just three episodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle took center stage at the\u00a0TIME100 Summit in New York City on Wednesday – and it left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[25187,92,368,19425,1281,447,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-45639","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-balenciaga","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-femail","11":"tag-judi-james","12":"tag-meghan-markle","13":"tag-prince-harry","14":"tag-royal","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114390990089898599","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
