Prince Harry appears to be taking a more dominant role in his relationship with Meghan Markle, according to a leading body language expert's analysis of their recent Netflix appearance.
The shift in dynamic was observed by expert Darren Stanton whilst reviewing the couple's scenes in the newly released Netflix polo documentary series.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex feature briefly in the fifth and final episode of "Polo", which premiered on December 10, offering viewers insight into the elite sporting world.
During their appearance at a charity polo match, Stanton noted a marked change in the couple's relationship dynamic, with Harry, 40, now appearing to take charge rather than his wife.

"It's important for Harry to be seen as the one who is more dominant and powerful," Stanton told The Royal Observer.
The expert noted that Meghan had previously been perceived as the more dominant partner in their relationship.
"Meghan has previously been seen to wear the trousers in their relationship, which has affected his reputation," Stanton explained.
His analysis focused on their body language during the polo event footage.

The observation marks a significant shift from their earlier public appearances together.
However, fellow body language expert Judi James offered a different perspective on the couple's documentary appearance.
James noted that while Harry appeared comfortable in the "peacocking, macho world of Polo," Meghan maintained a distinctly royal demeanour.

She observed Meghan conducting herself as though on an official royal engagement.
"Meghan is seen chatting as though on a royal visit and it's Meghan extending a hand to touch her husband to invite him into the conversation," James explained.
The contrasting analysis suggests the couple's dynamic remains complex, with both partners taking leading roles in different contexts.
