The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle looked more loved up than ever as they arrived hand-in-hand to the WellChild Awards in London last night.

The annual awards night celebrates the achievements of the country’s seriously unwell children and those who go above and beyond to help support them. This is the second time the couple have attended the event together.

Body language expert, Judie James has revealed what was really going on between the couple.

“There seems to be a little up-scale for Meghan here as Harry appears to break with royal tradition to gesture for her to shake hands first,” Judie tells Fabulous Digital.

“Harry appears to prefer the role of host, gesturing with one hand to ensure his wife takes the lead then standing back with his hands clasped in a much more passive pose.

“The pause by the pavement edge even appears to show Harry using similar rituals of concern and ‘smoothing the way’ steering as he did when Meghan was pregnant, checking her over the step in her heels with his hands out to support her arm.”

Judie also suggests that Meghan’s hand placement on her stomach could mean that she is missing baby Archie at the event.

“This is an interesting stomach-touch as it mimics the kind of baby bump rubbing and holding that Meghan was performing while she was pregnant with Archie,” she adds.

“Her thumb is even raised in a subconscious gesture of pleasure. It could be a touch that tells us Archie is uppermost in her mind and the childrens’ event could make her miss holding him.”

We don’t blame her!
