Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have participated in several joint interviews since leaving the royal family in 2020. Observers have noted Meghan’s tendency to take the lead during these appearances, occasionally speaking over her husband and appearing more at ease in the spotlight. While Harry often seems content to let his wife shine, critics highlighted one instance where he appeared visibly irritated by Meghan’s interruption.
During a roundtable discussion at Marcy Lab School in New York City to promote education and mental health, Meghan dominated the conversation, emphasizing the importance of education while Harry struggled to interject. Body language expert Judi James noted Meghan’s use of gestures to communicate with Harry in public, enhancing her role as the primary speaker.
According to Judi, Meghan’s dynamic speaking style can make interruptions seem like criticisms to the interrupted party. Harry’s irritation becomes more apparent when Meghan speaks over him a second time, causing him to visibly react and disengage from the conversation.
The incident coincided with Harry’s reunion with his father in London after over a year apart. The meeting, described as formal and awkward, involved discussions and the exchange of gifts, including a framed photograph of Archie and Lilibet. Despite claims of sabotage and leaked details, both parties express a desire for reconciliation, although tensions remain high.
Palace sources suggest a stalemate between Harry’s team and the royal aides, with both parties eager for improved relations. While the situation is not considered a complete setback, the leaked meeting details have complicated efforts to mend the strained relationship.
