Meghan Markle had a six-word comment to husband Prince Harry during their recent “uneasy” outing in New York, a lip reader has uncovered.
The Duchess and Duke of Sussex made a rare joint public appearance at the Project Healthy Minds’ third annual World Mental Health Day Gala on Thursday, Oct. 9. They were awarded the ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ Award for their initiatives to create a safer digital environment for families and youth.
However, the glamorous night out for the former royals wasn’t perfect, as body language experts claim Prince Harry was “nervous.” Now, lip reader NJ Hickling has exclusively told the Express US that Meghan scolded her husband on the red carpet.
After analysing the couple on the red carpet, Hickling said one moment “hints at an off-camera strain between them.”
The lip reader said, “Meghan turns to Harry, waiting for a moment, hoping to catch his attention and trying to avoid the cameras. She says quickly, ‘We have to look together now.’ he replies softly, ‘Yeah,’ and shifts his footing.”
Hickling concluded, “Her composure is flawless, but Harry’s expression and body language suggest unease, distant and detached, despite the physical closeness.”
Online, fans seemed to notice some tension between the couple, especially when they spoke at the event. One person wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Good lord, he hates her!”
Another said, “He no longer has eyes for her. I’ve never seen him blank her completely before, especially in that suit jacket. He looks like he doesn’t know where to place them.”
A third pointed out, “I didn’t listen to a word, but the energy shows they’re competing with each other.”
Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James believes that Harry and Meghan were completely comfortable at the awards ceremony, sharing with the Mirror, “This is Harry and Meghan in pared-back, more understated mode to accept their award and do some ongoing campaigning too.

“Their body language is suitably simple too, although their facial expressions suggest some pride in their joint profile and some personal pride from Meghan towards her husband.”
The body language expert observed that Meghan appeared captivated by Harry, while the pair also seemed to be basking in their return to public attention for such a meaningful event.
“It’s her raised and rounded cheeks that form this look of pride and a sense of self-satisfaction here as she looks up at Harry,” she noted.
“His asymmetric, closed lip smile reflects the seriousness of their campaign, although his demeanor also reflects a sense of pleasure at being in the spotlight to promote it.”
While Harry seemed to be the “alpha” of the evening, James suggested that Meghan was the one holding the reins, subtly guiding her husband through the media call before the event started.
She observed, “Their hand clasp is relaxed rather than tight, and although Harry is adopting the more alpha stance, Meghan is throwing glances to signal when to move onto the next spot for the cameras.”
However, James also said Harry appeared to show “some nerves” while Meghan had a calmer attitude.
She told Express US, “This is a rather different look from Meghan’s ‘Runway Queen’ one in Paris, although the sleek, simple styling and the understated body language rituals do share certain messaging traits.
“Harry’s look is more intense here, as though he wishes to show he means business in his role as a campaigner.”
