According to a royal expert, Megan Markle is aiming for a more substantial role than merely being Prince Harry's companion.
Megan recently accompanied Harry to Canada for an Invictus Games event. During this three-day trip, body language expert Judy James observed Megan's supportive and encouraging demeanor, indicating her desire to be more than just Harry's "plus one." James noted that when Harry interacted with athletes, Megan mirrored his actions, squatting alongside him and maintaining close physical proximity, suggesting a strong connection and shared engagement in conversations.
Furthermore, James highlighted Megan's supportive gestures, such as offering congratulatory hugs, while Harry seemed more reserved, holding onto his safety helmet and engaging in separate conversations. Meanwhile, royal historian and commentator Rafe Hael Manu pointed out discrepancies in the Sussexes' online presence. He noted that their website, prominently features Megan's royal coat of arms rather than Harry's, suggesting a shift in power dynamics within the family.
Manu emphasized the importance of the Sussexes' connection to the monarchy for their relevance and influence. He likened their relationship to the royal family to celestial bodies, where proximity to the monarchy is essential for their success. Manu criticized the Sussexes' previous ventures outside the royal sphere, suggesting that their recent interest in royal activities indicates a strategic move to maintain their status and relevance.
Manu suggested that Megan is taking a leading role in shaping the Sussexes' image and strategy, aiming to establish themselves as American royalty while adhering to royal protocols and traditions. This includes initiatives such as their website and the use of Megan's coat of arms, which Manu sees as emblematic of Megan's influence within the family dynamic. Overall, Manu believes that Megan's assertiveness signifies a shift towards prioritizing her vision and ambitions within the Sussexes' public persona.
