Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have participated in several joint interviews following their departure from the royal family in 2020. Observers have noted Meghan’s tendency to take the lead in these appearances, occasionally speaking over her husband and appearing more at ease in the spotlight.
While Harry typically remains content to let Meghan shine, critics have pointed out a moment where he seemed visibly annoyed by her interruption. During a roundtable discussion at Marcy Lab School in New York City to advocate for education and mental health, Meghan dominated the conversation about education, leaving Harry struggling to interject.
Body language expert Judi James suggested that Meghan uses gestures to subtly guide Harry in public settings. She noted that Meghan’s dynamic speaking style often leads her to take charge of the conversation, potentially making Harry feel overshadowed and interrupted.
Harry’s apparent annoyance became more pronounced when Meghan interrupted him a second time during the discussion, as observed by Judi. His body language reportedly showed signs of frustration and detachment, indicating a possible strain during the interaction.
The incident coincided with Harry’s recent reunion with his father in London after a long separation. Reports described the meeting as formal and somewhat awkward, resembling an official engagement rather than a personal reunion. Details of the encounter, including gifts exchanged, were leaked to the press, leading to conflicting narratives about the nature of the reunion.
Despite the back-and-forth reports, the Sussexes denounced any attempts to undermine their reconciliation efforts. Speculation surfaced that palace aides may have leaked information about the meeting to hinder Harry’s future visits to the UK, causing tensions between the two parties.
While there is a desire for reconciliation from both sides, the leaked details have complicated the situation. Although the Duke’s relationship with his father may not be entirely reset, the leaked information has created challenges in their efforts to mend their bond.
