Prince Harry 'overcome by nerves on wedding day' but Meghan arrival triggered change

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married six years ago today and it was Meghan who took the lead at their wedding, says a body language expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex experienced a whirlwind romance: after meeting in 2016, they became engaged in 2017 and married in 2018.

Their big day has been broken down by body language expert Darren Stanton to mark their anniversary on May 19.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, Stanton said: “Harry was feeling nervous on his wedding day. He displayed a few nervous smiles, but they were portraying genuine emotion.”

He added: “He tried to convey confidence, but his nerves took control. When he was waiting at the altar with William, you could see his face flushing, as his cheeks went red.

“But when Meghan arrived, he was more relaxed and could be more at ease with himself.”

According to Stanton, Meghan was calm and confident and didn’t show any nervousness. Her posture was aligned, her head was held high and she was all smiles on the day.

He added: “These are all signs of feeling at peace and confident about themselves. Meghan puts Harry at his ease.

“She was very collected and everything seemed to fall into place as she arrived.

“She took the lead and had a lot of control.”
