While public appearances of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been rare and far between in recent years, we can’t help but obsess over them when they do decide to leave their Montecito home. While the two attended the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Jamaica yesterday, for example, a body language expert’s eagle-eyes picked up all their lovey-dovey signs.

“The couple hold and re-hold hands using cupped hands in an ongoing gesture of unity,” body language expert Judi James told Daily Mail. In the many short videos of the Sussexes throughout the night, the two are constantly holding hands and seen placing their hands on each other’s backs when walking.

‘[Their PDA is] careful and elegant-looking rather than a more spontaneous hugging gesture, meaning it seems to be aimed at defining them as an ongoing power couple as well as a romantic couple,” James continued.

For the night, Markle opted for a simple yet elegant spaghetti-strap black dress while Harry opted for a classic navy suit with a crisp white shirt.

“Meghan’s red carpet body language here looks very celebrity and very Hollywood as she glides elegantly in her full ball gown, using some of her slightly maternal-looking guiding or leading gestures on a more relaxed-looking Harry in his open-neck shirt to ensure the choreography is pitch-perfect,” James observed.

On the carpet, the pair posed with a series of other guests including Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins.

“When they pose together for the cameras though there is a telling gesture from Meghan,” James said. “As Harry stands smiling in the line-up, Meghan stands with her torso turned in his direction but her head and eyes turned to the cameras.” Another great way to stay connected and in tune with one another in the middle of it all.

“Her eyes are softened and narrowed in a display sign to the cameras of loving affection, while that hand seems placed in a very celebrity way to signal proud ownership, in a ‘he’s mine’ signal,” James added. He is indeed, Meghan!

Harry, for his part, also signaled his love for his wife during the event by holding her close. “His arm is around her back and her hand is carefully placed on his torso, flattened and with fingers pointing upward,” James continued.

Looks like the honeymoon season still reigns on with these two.
