Judi James also noticed Meghan sending a clear message to admirers of Harry
"CONFIDENT" Meghan Markle stole the spotlight as Prince Harry "looked awkward" at a recent film premiere, according to a body language pro.
The pair put on a loved-up display as they made their grand arrival at the glitzy premiere for a Bob Marley movie in Jamaica - just days before King Charles's operation.

The Sussexes were spotted on the red carpet for "Bob Marley: One Love" in the reggae legend's hometown Kingston.
All eyes were on the pair - as Meghan wore a black spaghetti strap gown, and Harry donned a suit without a tie.
Snaps showed the couple beaming and posing with the film's stars as they walked hand-in-hand down the red carpet.
The premiere arrived with news that would undoubtedly amplify Meghan's spirits - the Oscar nomination of The After, a short film directed by her close friend Misan Harriman.

Not only did Misan capture the tender moment of the pair announcing their second pregnancy, but he has also photographed their daughter, Princess Lilibet too.
As a result of this news, according to body language expert Judi James, Meghan appeared confident and assured at the public event.
But while Judi also spotted that the couple appeared tactile, she also flagged that Harry seemed ‘rigid’ and ‘distracted’.
Judi told Fabulous: “Meghan and Harry’s tactile, red carpet display of affection and togetherness here does seem to show Meghan at her confident, elegant best while Harry reveals some cues or tells beside her that give him a rather more awkward look.

“His open-neck shirt and his informal body language behaviour here looks at odds with her pitch-perfect, focused, Hollywood celebrity approach.
“Her wide symmetric smile with a rounding of her cheeks looks totally assured and camera-friendly and the gleam of excitement in her eyes is an intentional gesture showing her hosts and her fans she is delighted to be there.
"Harry seems distracted, even looking back at one point, biting his lower lip."
Judi James
“Their hand clasp with fingers cupped shows mutual affection but Harry seems to try to pull her hand in towards his leg as though needing some form of silent reassurance.
“His mouth smile looks rigid, as do both his arms.
"He is also touching his forehead in one pose, which can suggest anxiety via a truncated cut-off.
“While Meghan glides and looks firmly forward, Harry seems distracted, even looking back at one point, biting his lower lip and grinning before seeming to beckon to someone behind him.
“Even when they walk in to cheers he suddenly opens his mouth and scrunches his body up as though worried they won’t both fit through the gap.”
Judi also noticed that Meghan appeared to wear the trousers for the evening, as she put herself in charge.
She continued: “Meghan looks gracious and charming and pure self-assured Hollywood red carpet glamour.
“Her eyes throw a look over her shoulder at the cameras and with their soft eye-smile and the hand of loving ownership the message seems to be ‘He’s mine’.”

"She is even seen using one of her steering gestures on Harry, placing a hand on his back to usher him forward to greet someone she has first greeted warmly herself, appearing to put herself in charge here.
“As they pose for the cameras Harry stands with one arm around her waist and a good-humoured smile on his face.
“Meghan though is using purring rituals, standing with her torso facing and pressed into Harry's side and with one flattened hand placed on his waist with the fingers pointing upward.
