While riding in a golf buggy, Harry was seen resting his hand on Meghan’s thigh—another intimate gesture between the couple.
As they passed by supporters, both greeted the crowd with casual “hi” and “hello” along the way.
Their appearance at the event followed closely after Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding their relationship.
A body language expert suggested that Meghan’s affectionate gestures on Saturday were a well-timed response to Trump’s remarks.
Last week, when asked whether he would scrutinize Prince Harry’s immigration status under the new executive order, Trump dismissed the idea, saying: “I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
According to body language specialist Judi James, who spoke with the Daily Mail, Meghan and Harry’s public interactions seemed like a direct rebuttal to Trump’s statement.
“Sitting in the stands watching the ceremony, Meghan displayed herself in several poses of pride and love,” James observed.
“She clung to Harry’s arm, leaning in towards him like a fan and clutching his hand in an ownership gesture that seemed to (unnecessarily) let everyone, including Trump, know ‘He’s all mine’.”
James further noted: “Her body language looked somewhere between a teenager on a date night and a proud mom at a school open night.”
