The Duke and Duchess of Sussex put on a united display at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver on Friday evening

Meghan Markle is "rebranding" to a "giggling and breathless besotted wife" after showering Prince Harry with affection at the Invictus Games opening ceremony, it has been claimed.

Following the couple's "professional separation", the Duke and Duchess of Sussex displayed a loved-up, united front as they attended the ceremony in Vancouver on Friday.


Meghan Markle was seen kissing her husband and clinging tightly to his arm as they sat together during the opening event of Prince Harry's latest Invictus Games.

Speaking to GB News, Body Language Expert Judi James analysed Meghan's behaviour and claimed the Duchess appeared more "giggly" and "breathless", branding her actions "less professional" than usual.

James explained: "It was Meghan the human limpet, wasn't it? She's never shy about doing PDAs with Harry, obviously, but I think this took it to a different level.

"And for me, doing it kind of tied in with that social media post that she did the other day, and then if you watched her make a speech where she introduced Harry, she's kind of rebranding as this 'oh gosh, social media teenager', less professional."

Noting how she was acting towards Prince Harry, James commented on Meghan's "pride" for her husband but argued that she appeared to portray "date night" behaviour rather than professional.

James added: "She's giggling, she's squealing with excitement at things, she's very breathless. She had to sit there with him and not just cling on to his arm, she was holding his hand at the same time as well.

"She was gazing at him, she tilted her head onto his shoulder like they were on a date night. She looked like a cross between a woman on a date night and a mum going to her son's school open day. It's a proud mum or besotted wife on a date."

When asked by Dawn Neesom for her analysis of Prince Harry's behaviour, James claimed that the Duke appeared more "bashful" in comparison to his wife.

James told GB News: "Harry just looks like Harry, he looked rather bashful. I don't think that he was exactly too comfortable with these massively exaggerated what's called overkill PDAs.

"At times he was leaning away from her slightly, and he looks a lot happier when he was giving the double thumbs up to the rest of the crowd and showboating on the stage, because he's very much with the people that he knows and loves, with all the sort of army people, but he wasn't particularly joining in."

Concluding her analysis, James claimed that Meghan Markle "wants to prove to the world" that she and Prince Harry are happy in their marriage, following suggestions that the pair may be departing in their relationship alongside their professional endeavours.

James said: "She was so overkill that if he'd joined in, they'd have had to have got a room. I think it would have been way too much. I think they have to be happy, and I think she wants to prove it to the world.

"She was taking photographs of him with her camera, she was doing that seal clapping that she does, and then there were these sort of wonderful looks of pride.

"I can't describe it - her whole mouth sort of pinched together and puckered in with a look of pride when his name was mentioned."
