Body language expert analyzes the meeting
During their visit with the Archbishop, Markle held baby Archie while they talked, sometimes shifting the baby’s position. Body language expert Judi James broke down the appearance, telling FEMAIL that the way Markle held on to Archie showed a “caring” nature.
She explained: ‘Meghan carries baby Archie high to her bodyand near to her own head, suggesting a desire to tune into her son and allowhim to do the same.”
James further noted: “The gesture of close contact that is as lovingly intense and empathetic as the baby-bump cradling and touch rituals she used when she was pregnant. It allows her to track his eye-gaze and responses to the world around him.”
Markle, she shared, “is clearly keen to offer security andprotection to her baby son by using this close-quarters eye contact and byclutching his arm. Her gaze clearly looks besotted as she smiles down at him.”
As for Prince Harry, he’s definitely a proud and protective dad, as James shared: “Harry walks beside Meghan and Archie, keeping at a very slight distance and a rather more formal approach at first. He’s monitoring his wife and son carefully though…”
James explained the way Harry interacted with Archie,sharing: “While Meghan’s gestures suggest protection and caring, Harry’sactions with his son suggest a desire to make Archie chuckle and have fun. Hisbeaming, besotted attention signals, plus his desire to gently clown about tomake Archie laugh, suggests he might have already found a kindred spirit in hisnew son.”
