Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were present at Ellen DeGeneres, and Portia de Rossi's renewal of vows and a body language expert weighed in on the royal couple's gestures at the event.
Prince Harry Reportedly No Longer Needs His Wife, Meghan Markle
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very tactile. When they are together, they always hold hands and seem inseparable.
However, they stood apart from each other at DeGeneres and de Rossi's wedding vow renewal. The expert said it suggests that Prince Harry can now manage to be on his own in an American crowd.
"Both Harry and Meghan seem to be immersing themselves in the party vibe, and their separation here does seem to suggest that Harry has now launched fully into the social life in the US," the expert told Express. "This means he doesn't need Meghan to act as support or host."
Meanwhile, she noted that Markle was also enjoying the moment even if she was away from her husband. The event was supposed to be de Rossi's 50th birthday, but she turned it into a vow renewal ceremony.
"Meghan is just enjoying herself without seeming to need to keep an eye out for her husband in what is predominately a celebrity party group, which suggests a very relaxed and maybe more socially confident stage of their relationship."
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle' Lost In The Group'?
James felt that the video taken during DeGeneres and de Rossi's renewal of their wedding vow gave a unique glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for two reasons.
"Firstly the normally gummed-together couple are socializing apart here, standing at either ends of the group just as we thought they were inseparable," she said.
"The second reason is that, in a room where Ellen and her responses are the center of attention and even Kris Jenner is there to officiate, Harry and Meghan are almost lost in the group rather than being the center of everyone's focus."
She added that their body language contrasted with what was happening in front of them.
Prince Harry was reportedly happy but formal. He was delighted but "slightly cautious in his responses."
Meanwhile, Markle looked relaxed and was blending with the crowd as she clapped and laughed with them.
"She is also seen placing one hand over her mouth to empathize with Ellen's shocked response," James noted.
