'Dominant' Harry looks polished in Spotify video while 'demure' Meghan 'gazes adoringly' at him

'Dominant' Prince Harry looked 'a lot more polished and American' while 'demure' Meghan Markle 'took on a softer role' in their first joint appearance since quitting the royal family, a body language expert has claimed.

The Duke, 36, and Duchess of Sussex, 39, who last week officially split from the Firm, appeared in a 20-second video plugging their Archewell Audio podcast at a Spotify live stream event yesterday.

Body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL the couple, who filmed the clip at their $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, had gained a 'US-style polish' in their 'posing and body language'.

She explained Meghan, who was wearing a £2,600 Oscar de la Renta dress, adopted a 'demurely regal pose' while Harry’s body language looks a lot more 'American' and even 'Trump-like', with his 'wide hand gestures and his energetic delivery.'

Judi told FEMAIL there was 'a new emphasis on making Harry look like the more dominant alpha male while Meghan sits demurely beside his, gazing in admiration.'

She explained: 'There is almost a switching of delivery styles from these two, with Meghan adopting a much more UK royal style of pose with her hands folded over one another on her lap as she sits close to her husband.'

Judi revealed that on previous appearances over the last year, the Duchess has taken on a more dominant role but she took on a significantly softer role in the clip.

She said: 'In earlier appearances it was often Harry squeezed down one end of the sofa while Meghan addressed the camera and led the conversations.

'Here she seems to take a much softer role to create the impression that it is Harry who is the star turn.'

Meanwhile Judi compared Prince Harry to President Donald Trump in his body movements, which she called 'confident and enthusiastic'.
