The love story of Meghan and Prince Harry has been well documented, and neither the Duke nor Duchess of Sussex makes any secret of their affection for one another. Whilst the couple are out and about on public engagements they are rarely shy about holding hands or other public displays of affection - providing what is to many a refreshing contrast to the formality often seen in the Royal Family, due to the nature of their official engagements.

A body language expert has claimed that one of the ways that Meghan and Harry are often seen holding hands has a significant meaning - and called it a "powerful" gesture.

Speaking to The Express, the body language expert - Inbaal Honigman, explained that he believes different ways of holding hands can indicate different things, and broke down what, in his opinion, one hand-holding technique really means and why he believes it shows that Meghan and Harry's "bond is unbreakable".

"Meghan and Harry's hand holding can roughly be divided into three distinct types; interlocking fingers, butterfly hand contact, and the clamshell," the expert explains. The expert describes the method of 'interlocking fingers' with their palms touching as indicating the deeply intimate nature of their bond and how happy they are when in one another's company, and looking for as much closeness as they can get, something that he called "powerful"

"This is a powerful hold that reassures each partner that the other one has got their back. It's a trusting, loving, passionate way of holding hands." Hongiman pointed out that the 'butterfly' technique of holding hands was also something that we see the couple doing regularly, and it indicates in his opinion, with its gentle nature that the couple share a deep trust and don't need to control one another.

Finally, the body language expert broke down the 'clamshell' which is where one party uses both of their hands to hold one of their partner's hands. "It's a gesture that is in turn both dominant and submissive - dominant because it's blunt and it shows the world that this man is hers!"

Hongiman noted that all three of these techniques are often combined by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and that this indicates, in his belief, "They show us that they're a united couple, the two of them against the world, and their bond is unbreakable."
