What Archie's 'Hollywood' christening pictures reveal about Prince Harry and Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released two very different pictures from the christening of their son Archie.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seen posing up with their baby and members of the royal family in one snap.

But the other is a much more intimate picture of the new family.

Here's what author and body language expert Judi James makes of the pictures...

It's Royals versus Hollywood again as Meghan and Harry release two contrasting images of baby Archie's christening, one the formal Windsor version and the other more A-list celebrity.

Harry adopts the upright, protective prince pose in the first photo, despite his informal brown suede shoes.

His smile involves a tempered look of closed lips while Meghan's open mouth smile and gleaming eyes suggest more open excitement and delight. Her hand looks relaxed around the baby and his hand rests over her arm.

Kate is self-diminished beside Meghan, sitting with her arms pulled into her torso and her hands clasped primly on her lap.

Her smile is wide but not beaming, while William stands behind her in the kind of fig leaf hand clasp and raised chin pose that a policeman might adopt before collaring a suspect.

Doria looks relaxed and happy behind Harry and Charles places a hand on Harry's chair in the gesture of a proud, supportive dad.

In the monochrome photo we're shown a very intimate looking bundle of a trio of loving joy.

It's the romantic, fashionable version of an A-list couple with the baby sleeping blissfully while his doting parents gaze adoringly.

Harry is in alpha mode again, looking down at the baby while Meghan gazes up at Harry with an expression of adoration.

It's the kind of 'intimate' moment Meghan and Harry are very good at producing for the cameras and only Harry's odd clasp of his wife's arm suggests it's anything other than spontaneous.
