Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently attended events alone, and royal experts view their solo appearances as a new stage of their working relationship.
The Duchess of Sus𝑠e𝑥 was spotted supporting her friend and hair colorist, Kadi Lee, at a launch event for Highbrow Hippie, while the Duke of Sus𝑠e𝑥 was seen at the Grey Cup final in Vancouver.
“Harry and Meghan’s relationship seems to have evolved from a totally twinned one, where their body language was confined to appearances as a matching, complimentary and very royal-looking double act, to one that resembles the shape of a letter Y,” body language expert Judi James told an outlet.
According to James, the Sus𝑠e𝑥es “joined and twinned at the base but also separating into two individuals moving into two rather separate professional directions.”
In recent months, royal experts and commentators speculated the Sus𝑠e𝑥es were developing professional brands independent of each other.
“The newly ‘sole trader’ body language performances need to be interspersed with appearances that describe and emphasize the base of the ‘Y,'” James explained.
“Theirs has always been laid out as a love story with a romantic core and seeing them alone still tends to create a look of a lost limb, thanks to their previously constant love of touch, tie-signs and other PDAs to provide a touching narrative that the world enjoys watching,” she noted.
