Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no strangers to a bit of PDA, and a recent photo proves they’re still very much in love.
Ahead of Thanksgiving in the US, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex volunteered at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA) to prepare and package meals for community members experiencing food insecurity.
They were joined by their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s PDA during volunteering event
Photos of the Sussex family were shared on the Archewell Foundation website. The images have also appeared on social media, including one of Harry wrapping his arms around Meghan as they smile with other volunteers.
Harry and Meghan are no strangers to PDA. Now, a body language has delved into the moment and explained Harry’s “shielding gesture” towards his wife.
The picture shows Harry, 41, stood behind Meghan, 44, with both of his arms wrapped around her. Meghan is seen placing her hand over Harry’s.
The happy pair both beam for the camera alongside the other volunteers. You can see the image here on the Archewell website.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, Harry and Meghan “seem totally at home in each other’s company”.
Speaking to Royal Insider on behalf of OLBG, Darren revealed: “It comes under several categories, one is protection and security. Harry is doing what we call a shielding gesture, it shows a desire from him to make Meghan feel safe.
‘On the scale of PDA I would say it is a 10’
“It also shows possessiveness, but in quite a positive way, more showing pride in his partner than anything creepy. It is conveying warmth, support and connection.”
Darren said Meghan is also leaning back into Harry and reciprocating his gesture. Darren said this shows a “deep connection, they are almost presenting themselves as one unit”.
They are clearly in a great spot at the moment and very much in love.
He continued: “Both show broad genuine smiles, there are clear laugh lines and crows feet, and they just seem totally at home in each other’s company.
“On the scale of PDA I would say it is a 10. It isn’t explicit, but it is letting people into their inner closeness.
“Overall it is a really positive representation of where their relationship is. They are clearly in a great spot at the moment and very much in love.”
