Prince Harry's true feelings about eviction shown by 'giveaway signals', expert says

Following their move to the US after standing down as working royals, Prince Harry and Meghan confirmed that Frogmore Cottage would continue to be their UK base.

But now the Royal Family have other plans for the cottage, reports the Mirror. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been asked to vacate the property. Following the eviction news on Tuesday, Meghan and Harry were seen in happy spirits in front of photographers as they visited the San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles.

And body language expert Judi James has analysed footage of the couple, identifying some of their possible emotions and patterns of behaviour, related to the news.

The expert pointed out that certain cues that the pair exhibit suggest a desire to hide or protect themselves, as they entered the private club in LA.

Judi specifically stated that Harry presented three signals that suggested a desire to protect his emotions, in response to the Frogmore eviction drama.

The first signal was Harry's jacket collar being turned up, which according to Judi, indicates a desire to protect or hide his neck and face.

Next was his fidgeting with his clothing, and hoisting his trousers up. The expert claimed that this is a self-soothing gesture that indicates discomfort, stress and anxiety.

And finally, the fact that Harry has his left hand shoved into his pocket so tight that his knuckles are white is another self-pacifying gesture, showcasing his anxiety.

These signals suggest to the expert that Harry is feeling vulnerable, and is trying to protect himself from the situation. She added that they also show his anxiety and stress in response to the Frogmore drama.

Judi James said: "His behaviour suggests some anxiety and a desire to protect as he hops about, rounding his group up like a sheepdog and ushering them into the venue."

The couples smiles and laughter appear to be a "deliberate projection" and not genuine expressions of happiness in response to the eviction news, according to Judi.

The body language expert suggested that their smiles seem like "over-kill rituals rather than grins prompted by authentic happiness". Meghan is showing her "vulnerable mode", while Harry's signals suggest underlying tension, Ms James has claimed.

Finally, the couples body language together indicate a deliberate effort to put on a "performance" after the eviction notice. Judie explains that despite the pairs celebrity status, receiving an eviction notice would still be hurtful.

The expert added that their smiles and laughter appear to be over-exaggerated and not genuine expressions of happiness.

Ms James said: "It can be a tough enough call when your parents re-decorate your bedroom after you first leave home, so an eviction notice has got to sting no matter how rich, famous and grown-up you are.

"Harry and Meghan’s response here seems to be a deliberate projection of non-verbal 'shrugging' i.e. smiling widely and laughing in the face of the recent Frogmore news."
