Prince Harry has been accused of looking bored as he “gazes off into the distance” in a clip from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new interview that has gone viral online.

The couple, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, are set to feature in a new interview on Sunday, August 4. The interview will air on US broadcaster CBS.

Body language expert Judi James has claimed that, unlike his wife, the Duke of Sussex seems very “disengaged” as Meghan speaks to Jane Pauley at the very start of the clip – appearing to hint at a sense of boredom.

As reported by the Mirror, Ms James said: “Her engagement with the interviewer is as powerful as Harry’s disengagement signals at the start of this clip while the two women speak.

“We see him in the clip gazing off into the distance with a serious facial expression while his wife tells a much more sociable and emotional story.”

While discussing children’s mental health, Meghan also made a sweet comment about their young son and daughter.

Ms James also said that when the mother of two spoke about Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, she appeared “besotted”.

She said: “Meghan is seen changing her body language and vocal state to speak about her children, performing a massively coy smile with a puckered top lip and rounded cheeks and partially hiding her face with her hand as though proud but also cutely coy about referring to them.

“Telling the interviewer they are ‘amazing’ she goes into a besotted-looking state, glancing down as though visualising them in a ‘moment’ as she shakes her head and her vocal tone dips to an intimate ‘throat-creak’.”

She then added: “But then she makes the link with her campaign message and her eyes bounce back to the interviewer, her brows raise and she gesticulates with her left hand to make her point with passion while Harry still gazes off into the distance, as yet un-activated.”
