Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may have "completely different personalities", but that doesn't stop them from being very in love, according to a body language expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot in 2018 and, while their honeymoon phase is well and truly over, they have recently overcome nasty split rumours. The couple are currently spending time at the Invictus Games, where they sent a strong message about their relationship as they walked out hand-in-hand.
Body language expert Darren Stanton said the Sussexes have managed to find their independence from one another, while maintaining their close bond. "Most romantic couples go through the head-over-heels, giddy honeymoon stage in the beginning and once they're more established and know each other really well, we see them relax a bit and take their own pace with their independence," he said.

However, he said their relationship "will never be conventional like other couples". The expert explained: "They're a team - who work together and live together - and have completely different personalities. They've moved on from their honeymoon period and are now in a place where they love each other, but they both have a lot more independence too."

Darren took a deep dive into Meghan and Harry's relationship over the years and explained how they've grown as a couple. "In the early days, they often were seen together at every event, and put on quite affectionate displays for the public."

Indeed, the Duke of Sussex flew out to the Invictus Games without his wife and attended the opening ceremony and several days of sporting competitions before Meghan later joined him.
The body language expert said: "This shows they're no longer in that bubble like the beginning and they've both developed in confidence, allowing them to do the things they want to do individually." He also said that Meghan has grown in confidence throughout her relationship with Harry, often coming across as "the more dominant of the two".
