Prince Harry seems 'disengaged' as he 'gazes off into the distance' while Meghan speaks in new interview

Body language expert Judi James has claimed that the Duke of Sussex seems very "disengaged" as Meghan speaks to reporter Jane Pauley.

On the other hand, she said Meghan acted "besotted" while speaking their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

James told The Daily Mirror: "Her engagement with the interviewer is as powerful as Harry’s disengagement signals at the start of this clip while the two women speak.

"We see him in the clip gazing off into the distance with a serious facial expression while his wife tells a much more sociable and emotional story.

"Meghan is seen changing her body language and vocal state to speak about her children, performing a massively coy smile with a puckered top lip and rounded cheeks and partially hiding her face with her hand as though proud but also cutely coy about referring to them.

"Telling the interviewer they are 'amazing' she goes into a besotted-looking state, glancing down as though visualising them in a 'moment' as she shakes her head and her vocal tone dips to an intimate 'throat-creak'."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken part in the new interview as part of a campaign to discuss cyber abuse.

Prince Harry said that parents have to be the "first responders", and added that it is "terrifying" that many parents are unsure of the telltale signs of "possible suicide".

James added: "[Meghan] makes the link with her campaign message and her eyes bounce back to the interviewer, her brows raise and she gesticulates with her left hand to make her point with passion while Harry still gazes off into the distance, as yet un-activated."

The new clip, which was shared this afternoon, was released as well as an announcement that the couple plan to visit Colombia this year.

It comes as the Duke of Sussex has described how his determination to fight the tabloids was a "central piece" in destroying his relationship with his family, with the "rift" in part due to his mission.

Harry said he wished his family had joined together with him in his campaign in the wake of the phone hacking scandal, as he gave an interview to ITV for its Tabloids On Trial documentary.

The duke has faced a strained relationship with his father the King in recent years and an ongoing rift with his brother the Prince of Wales, which worsened after his Netflix documentary and his memoir Spare.
