Meghan responded: “I know. Let’s take a breather. Get some air and then decide.”

Speaking to Media, expert Judi James said: “Harry’s response to the text from William looks dramatic and childlike in terms of his body language.”

“Like a small distressed child he places his fingers over his mouth before holding his arm out fully extended to show it to Meghan, who adopts a more maternal role,” she explained.

“His fingers go back to his lips as he re-reads but then we see him in a childlike pose of distress, standing with his arms up and his hands holding the back of his head while his belly is fully exposed under his lifted t-shirt.

“Meghan’s response is totally compatible with this childlike look. She stands to wrap her arms around him and to rock him gently,” the expert added.
