There’s a reason the saying “actions speak louder than words” has stood the test of time. Sure, words matter—but what people do often says way more than what they say. And while that’s true for all of us, it hits especially hard when you’re a public figure like a celebrity… or, say, a royal. When every gesture, glance and step is under a microscope, it’s almost impossible to hide what you’re really feeling.

Case in point: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest appearance in New York City. Meghan was there to speak at the TIME100 Summit about her Netflix docuseries, With Love, Meghan, and naturally, all eyes were on the couple—and their body language.

According to body language expert Darren Stanton, who analyzed their public appearance on behalf of Betfair Slots, Harry was fully in support mode. “The dynamic between Harry and Meghan at the moment is that Harry wants Meghan to have her moment in the limelight,” he explained.

He continued, “So much emphasis has been placed on him in the last few months with the Invictus Games, and now it’s her turn. His actions suggest he is very conscious that this is her time to take centre stage right now, with her new Netflix show.”

Stanton added, “An example of this would be Harry taking a conscious step back and allowing Meghan to take the lead more than him. He held back from being as present as he normally is. He won’t interrupt her during appearances or contribute, he will be comfortable in stepping aside.”

If that sounds familiar, it’s because this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this dynamic. Back in February, the couple attended the 2025 Invictus Games Opening Ceremony in Vancouver, and once again, their body language said it all. They leaned into each other, made tons of eye contact and had those sweet candid moments—like Meghan filming Harry on her phone while he pulled a goofy face. Oh and yes, there was PDA. A passionate kiss, no less.

So, what’s the takeaway? Meghan and Harry’s actions—not just their words—seem to tell us that they’re still very much in sync and totally in love.
