Prince Harry ‘relegated to entourage status’ at night out for Meghan Markle’s birthday

Harry and Meghan arrive in Morocco for 2019 tour Meghan Markle celebrated her 42nd birthday this week, as she was joined by her husband Prince Harry for a night out at Italian restaurant Tre Lune near their home in Montecito, California. A body language expert has given her take on how the couple interacted with each other on the night, as she noted a supposed tension between the two. Judi James told The Mirror: “Harry looks relegated to entourage status here as he follows wife Meghan out of the restaurant on her birthday. “[Meghan] clearly in the lead and in birthday ‘Star’ mode, her body language suggesting happiness and confidence as she engages in chat with other people.” In pictures obtained by MailOnline the birthday girl looked elegant and summery in a strapless, fitting, white and black striped dress, a Cult Gaia bag, and strappy black sandals. Meghan celebrated turning 42 on August 4 Ms James added: “Harry brings up the rear, with his sucked-in lips and mouth clamp suggesting he’s much more tense and possibly preoccupied here. “They’re not presenting as a tactile couple here for some reason, with Harry communicating with one group of guests while Meghan seems to be engaged with another.” Comparing them with other celebrity couples she said: “It’s usual for A-list celebrities to walk out of restaurants on date-nights hand in hand and often with the guy towing his partner along to appear protective in front of the press but in these shots there is no touch or hand-holding from a normally very tactile couple.” Harry and Meghan leaving an awards ceremony hand in hand in May SUBSCRIBE Invalid email We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
