Prince Harry and Meghan Markle displayed a telling gesture about their relationship - and it's one the Prince and Princess of Wales have also shown, a body language expert has said.
Much has been made about the Sussexes' relationship recently after they were dropped from their Spotify deal and seemed to pursue separate work projects. However, they have been spotted out and about near their home in California and made their last public appearance in New York in May.
And according to body language expert Darren Stanton, there was one moment during their outing at the Ms Foundation Women of Vision awards that gave a glimpse into their relationship - and was similar to William and Kate.

What was really nice was that Meghan was looking up to Harry with complete admiration and love. This is similar to what Prince William and Kate sometimes do, which is a really nice gesture and it speaks great volumes.
"Harry was in the centre, looking very tall with his shoulders back. He appeared very confident in the centre of the frame. He displayed a genuine authentic smile and you could tell that he is happy to be there. But the real telling piece was Meghan. You can tell despite all the ups and downs, she clearly truly loves him. She was looking up at him with complete adoration and respect.

“You can tell that Meghan was also very clearly happy to be there, as she displayed a definite genuine smile. The fact that we saw the crows' feet in her eyes and her whole face was engaged proved that she was genuinely happy to be in the environment, and there were no signs to say otherwise.

What you see is what you get with Meghan and Harry, as they appear to be very genuine and authentic when out in public.
And Darren added that from his point of view, Harry and Meghan have become closer in recent years and that they've grown stronger as a couple. Speaking on behalf of Betfair Bingo, he explained: "It’s apparent that Meghan is truly happy, both in her professional and personal life. When it comes to her relationship with Harry, she has developed in confidence and isn’t afraid to attend engagements by herself.
"In the early stages of their relationship, you could see that her levels of confidence and self-assurance weren’t as prominent. However, as time has gone on, Meghan has gained the confidence to attend events and campaign for causes on her own. It’s clear that the pair don’t have to be in each other’s pockets, which demonstrates a much greater level of confidence, rapport, trust and a deep connection within their relationship.

You can tell Meghan is head over heels in love with Harry due to her constant gazing and prolonged eye contact. It’s the type of love that if you’re in a busy environment, you feel as though you’re in a bubble with that person. I’ve noticed a lot of situations like that with Meghan and Harry, where they’ve both engaged in this reciprocal eye contact. It tells me that they’ve grown stronger and stronger as a couple.
“Overall, I think we will continue to see the pair develop, both as individuals and as a couple. Despite all the trials and tribulations, they are each other’s rocks. It’s clear from their body language that they are in a strong place - lots of little gestures, prolonged eye contact and authentic smiles."
