Harry like ‘wounded puppy’ as Meg told him to ‘shape up’ – body language expert
Prince Harry was "clearly not happy" while his wife Meghan Markle appeared "in her element" during their award speech at the weekend, a body language expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to the stage in Los Angeles to accept a top accolade at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Image Awards on February 26 after winning the prestigious President’s Award in recognition of their calls to social justice.
While the couple’s public activism has resulted in criticism from some royal watchers, Meghan said she “couldn't be prouder that we're doing this work together.”
However renowned body language expert Dr Lillian Glass analysed the appearance of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and claimed there is a distinct difference between the couple’s appearance on stage, as Harry appeared “uncomfortable” whereas his wife appeared “in her element”.
She told Express.co.uk: “Harry looked like a fish out of water as he didn't know what to do or how to comfort himself as he looked down at the award and examined it and then rocked back and forth and pulled away from Meghan.
“He straightened up for a while when she quickly turned her head towards him and shot him a not so pleasant look indicating that he was on stage and to be aware of it and to shape up.
“He purses his lips in embarrassment and then cocks his head like a wounded puppy and then looks at the camera.

“He is not smiling the whole time he is up there. He then forgets and looks back at her and looks down and then returns to facing the camera.
“While looking at the camera he continues to rock back and forth like a child that feels uncomfortable because they have a full bladder.
“His rocking back and forth indicates he really doesn't want to be there as further punctuated by his lack of a smile and dull eyes.

“Meghan on the other hand is in her element as she looks directly into the camera and speaks eloquently.”
Dr Glass went on to add that the Duke’s appearance was surprising, considering his history in the limelight.
She said: “One would think that growing up in front of a camera and having spoken to countless groups he would know how to act when receiving an award on stage but it confirms that the body doesn't lie and Harry is clearly not happy and uncomfortable as indicated through his body language at this event.”
