How Meghan Markle Shows Prince Harry ‘Who Is Boss’ as the Duchess ‘Makes the Final Call’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the royal family in 2020, and a lot has changed for them since then. They shocked the world with allegations about Britain’s most famous family and signed multi-million deals for more information, played the victim card to a point where they were mocked for it, and have been on a redemption tour in an effort to rebrand themselves away from the previous narrative with various projects.
But one thing that has remained the same is the dynamic in their relationship, clearly showing who’s in charge.
Here’s what an expert says Meghan does to remind Harry “she’s the boss” and “makes the final call.”
Body language expert says Meghan’s ‘the boss’ in relationship with Prince Harry
Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.”
Stanton has also analyzed plenty of footage and photos of the prince and former Suits star over the last few years and pointed out what Meghan does to assert that “she’s the boss.”
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, Stanton said: “Meghan is more dominant than Harry when it comes to the dynamic of their relationship. When Meghan and Harry attend events together, you will notice Meghan looking into Harry’s eyes to signal when it is time to move on — a big power gesture. It shows him who the boss is — and that she makes the final call.”
What Meghan thinks when Harry shows a ‘dominate side’
According to Stanton, although the duchess is the more dominant one in their relationship, she “appreciates” Harry “taking the lead” in certain situations.
He explained: “Despite [Meghan being the boss], she has shown she appreciates it when Harry shows his dominant side in situations. We know this through Meghan displaying genuine smiles and feeling more relaxed when Harry takes the lead. Her posture remains upright, but she’s more at ease — showing the confidence she has in him.
“Harry asserts his dominance and control by standing up for himself and other people. He’s not afraid to speak his mind. When Harry is in control of a situation, we see more instances of genuine smiles, eye contact, and feelings of certainty from him when he takes on the leader role in their dynamic. He can own a room. His speech isn’t rushed and we don’t notice an increase in his blinkrate. He can assert himself – which is also shown through his upright posture, and thorough engagement in conversation.”
