The couple were seen kissing and sharing warm embraces at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, last night.
It comes as Trump ruled out deporting Prince Harry over his visa legal battle in a scathing attack where he referred to Meghan as “terrible”.
Body language expert Judi James told The Sun: “Meghan’s touch rituals were especially specific, as was the way she didn’t just hold Harry’s arm but also held his hand in a clasp, too.
“Her face-touching sent a strong signal of tender affection and ownership out to the world.
“When she clasped his head in both of her hands and planted her loving kisses she signalled, ‘He’s mine and I love him’.”
She explained this rare-move from Meghan could indicate she’s both solidly “swoony-in-love” but also purposefully making a projection.
Judi continued: “There were also clues that this open adoration and emphatic family vibe could be something of a two-finger salute to Trump, after his blistering comment about Meghan.
“She might have been trying to prove how blissfully happy she and Harry are and even how lucky he is to have such a loyal and supportive wife.”
Donald Trump yesterday confirmed he would not deport Harry as part of his ongoing legal troubles in relation to a previous application for a US visa.
The duke returned to court this week as part of a case looking into his 2020 visa application, after it was revealed in his biography Spare he had consumed cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms.
In a scathing comment in response to being asked if he would deport the prince, Trump told The New York Post: “I don’t want to do that.
“I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Meghan has not hid her aversion for Trump in the past, having dubbed him “divisive” and “misogynistic”.
The president also called Harry “whipped,” and believes the prince is “being led around by the nose”.
Harry’s legal battle with his visa erupted after conservative think-tank The Heritage Foundation questioned why the duke was allowed into the US in 2020 following his references to drug consumption.
Turning back to Meghan and Harry’s appearance at the Invictus games, Judi explained the duchess’ body language signals had changed from previous appearances.
She added: “Her intro speech for her husband was performed in the same ‘Oh gosh’, breathlessly excited tone as her new Insta post and she giggled, squealed and rolled her eyes on stage in a ritual of newly-wed-looking coyness as she mentioned ‘My husband, the father of my very sweet and exciting children’ like a besotted bride and fan.
“There was the two-arm extended embrace and kiss on stage to make Harry look like the home-coming hero and then there was Meghan’s intense body language behaviours of love as they sat together in the audience watching the opening ceremony.”
Judi continued: “Meghan has previously focused her signals of love, support and appreciation of effort and triumph at the Invictus competitors but here her congratulatory ‘seal clapping’, her mouth-crumpled expressions of pride and her attention and attachment signals were primarily all aimed at Harry.”
At the ceremony, Judi said the couple were exhibiting “newlywed behaviours” with frequent arm-clinging and Meghan’s head often resting on Harry’s shoulder “as though she was on a date night”.
Looking into Meghan’s impromptu speech, Judi said: “Her speech contained reminders of how hard Harry works on Invictus, including actually taking phone calls while helping to pack lunch boxes.
“Her accompanying body language displays of hero-worship put Meghan in the role of cheer-leader, either as a public ‘stroke’ to please her husband or to ensure he was raised in the eyes of the world.”
At the Games, Meghan, 43, had been posting heartwarming behind the scenes footage on her Instagram stories before the event.
The couple met with the athletes and Harry performed a playful dance while participants waited lined up for pictures.
Meanwhile, the Duchess beamed as she was filmed taking photographs with the Ladies USA team.
In the stands, the mum-of-two was spotted waving blue pom-poms as a show of support.
She donned a simple black dress, concealed beneath a sophisticated cream jacket.
Meghan grinned from ear-to-ear as she sat beside her hubby, taking pictures on her phone.
Harry appeared equally joyful as he stepped out in a suave suit with navy tie.
The couple even looked emotional at time as the seventh edition of the games began.
A parade of nations with Germany, who hosted the 2023 event in Dusseldorf, leading in front kicked off the evening.
Vancouver’s team were welcomed into BC Place with an almighty cheer from the 54,500 seater arena.
Giant inflatables of a whale and dolphin floated above the military veterans to represent the city’s Vancouver connection to the Pacific Ocean.
Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Nelly Furtado and Katy Perry all performed at the opening ceremony last night.
