Meghan’s ‘gesture of affection’ towards Harry that ‘implies dominance’ | Royal | News
Meghan Markle was seen showing Prince Harry a “gesture of affection” that also “implied dominance” as the couple were spotted at San Antonio airport.
It is believed they were returning home after a visit to Texas. Harry was in the state to support Meghan when she spoke at the SXSW festival on Friday.
After the festival, the pair went to the home of Irma Garcia, a teacher who was killed in the 2022 Uvalde school shooting,
Footage of the Sussexes walking through the airport has been shared on Instagram and TikTok. The images show them from behind as they walk through the airport.
Prince Harry was dressed in a smart navy jumper with the sleeves pushed up and jeans. He carried his jacket.
While Meghan was right by him wearing cool sunglasses on her head, a black top, black leggings, and comfy shoes.
She held a white jacket and had a big white bag on her shoulder. The Duchess of Sussex put her hand on Harry’s lower back, reports the Mirror US.
Body language expert Judi James says this is her way of talking to Harry without words.
“Meghan has long been a fan of the steering hand touch, frequently placing a hand on Harry’s back in a gesture that can have several potential uses,” Judi told The Mirror.
She continued: “It’s one of her favourite tie-signs or method of non-verbal communication with her husband and its use can vary from letting him know she’s there at a social event and keen to get into a conversation to offering a supportive and rewarding message of almost maternal affection to steering him about to make sure he gets from A to B.”
Judi added that Meghan’s loving gesture might be a dual one – showing direction literally and emotionally. “This touch at the airport doesn’t seem to come during any social moment when she might need to be offering the more meaningful messages so it looks like the steering variety,” she said, “It’s still a gesture of affection but also implied dominance, as though he might need some advice on going in the right direction.”
