Prince Harry has stopped putting “Meghan Markle’s feelings above his own”, according to a body language expert, as the Duke of Sussex makes a solo appearance for the Invictus Games.
The couple have embarked on a separation of their professional lives and have pivoted to solo public appearances rather than joint engagements over the last few months.
Body language expert Darren Stanton has suggested that Harry’s attention is always on Meghan, making sure she’s okay during their joint engagements.
Stanton said: “Here, we tend to see more of his protective nature than his individual emotion as he puts Meghan’s feelings above his own.”

Stanton said: “Here on his own, he is completely engaged with what he is doing and who he is meeting.
“His passion here is incredibly visible, which isn’t surprising given the Invictus Games has a huge place in his heart and is a venture he is extremely dedicated to.
“Attending alone, we always tend to see the best of Harry when he’s appearing solo. Harry absolutely comes into his own. He’s got this massive smile, he’s beaming from ear to ear, portraying his enjoyment and his happiness.
“We know this is authentic and a genuine emotion from him. His whole face is engaged, the crow’s feet at the side of the eyes are there.”
