Once again, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are under the spotlight, this time over a short video that Markle shared on social media. Body language experts dissected the couple’s casual celebration of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series win, with claims that the moment appeared “staged” and far from natural. Moreover, experts also claimed that the video and public reactions highlighted the couple’s ongoing challenge in connecting with audiences on social media.

According to Radar Online’s exclusive report, behavior analyst and body language expert Traci Brown reviewed Meghan Markle’s Instagram Story video in which she cheers beside a quiet and almost distant-looking Prince Harry. Brown said she believed the clip did not reflect a genuine reaction. She explained, “First, it’s unusual to have a camera filming you watching a game, so she was planning on posting something.” Hence, as per Brown, the pair planned the moment.
In the video, Harry sits in a chair with little expression while Markle walks in, kisses him, and celebrates enthusiastically with her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen. Brown noted that their lack of synchronization gave off an awkward tone: “What we see is two people having very different responses to the same stimulus.” She added, “As she approaches him, she’s hoping for a response, and she’s a tad hesitant as she gets closer because her energy isn’t being returned.”
Additionally, Brown analyzed Harry’s posture and gestures, suggesting he seemed uncomfortable. She suggested, “After the kiss, he’s holding back something, we don’t know exactly what it is, emotion or words, as evidenced by his mouth blocking.” Brown further noted, “What’s interesting is that he has a closed fist covering his mouth, which says there’s a little stress there.”
Following the video, the couple attended a Dodgers game in person, where fans gave mixed reactions to their appearance in the front row. Some even booed them in the crowd. Hence, for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, what appears to be a simple clip that shares joy has only sparked more scrutiny.
