The rapport between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "appears to have been broken", a body language expert has claimed, as the couple appeared at the Invictus Games.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were pictured in The Netherlands on Friday in what marks their first joint trip outside the US since they stepped back from the Royal Family in 2020.
The couple, who are parents to Archie, two, and Lilibet, 10 months, spoke to the Ukrainian team ahead of the official opening of the Games today.
In some of the images, Harry could be seen looking "more flushed, tired and downbeat" while his wife Meghan appeared happier, UK psychotherapist and body language expert Nick Davies noted.
He added that their difference in expressions showed a "clear disparity with their moods", which he described as "odd for couples deeply in love, as they naturally match with their partners".
Mr Davies told the Daily Star : "On this day, a rapport appears to have been broken between the two, with Megan appearing to be more satisfied with the resolution of whatever happened behind closed doors.
"The honeymoon period normally ends around 18 months, so this will be over, but they may also be experiencing some differences around their core values to create a rapport shift like this perhaps."
Before heading to The Netherlands, Harry and Meghan made a whistlestop visit to London to visit the Queen for the first time in two years.
They also saw Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall in a closely-guarded visit to Windsor Castle, after being absent from Prince Philip' s memorial service in London last month.
Senior royal sources described the meetings as “incredibly warm and good natured” and “very cordial”, with Meghan and Harry promising the Queen she will get to see Archie and Lilibet "in the near future".
Harry is currently locked in a legal battle with the UK government over a decision to downgrade his security.
He brought a claim against the Home Office after being told he would no longer be given the "same degree" of personal protective security when visiting from the US, despite offering to pay for it himself.
