The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, often face criticism, particularly regarding their relationship dynamics following their royal departure. Critics have scrutinized Meghan for clinging to Harry, labeling her behavior as “the claw.” This term has gained traction again after their appearance at the 2025 Invictus Games, where once more it was suggested there is tension in their relationship. To clarify these rumors, a body language expert was consulted, highlighting that the situation might not be interpreted as many believed.

In a viral clip from the Invictus Games, Harry humorously indicates that Meghan will perform, then tries to leave the stage. Meghan playfully pulls him back, and throughout the clip, she grips Harry’s hand and arm. Some have interpreted this as Meghan exerting “control” over Harry. However, body language expert Traci Brown, CSP, suggests that the couple was likely just cold, explaining their interaction.
Understanding Harry and Meghan’s Signals at Invictus Games
In analyzing Harry and Meghan’s body language during the 2025 Invictus Games, Traci Brown noted their cold conditions, especially since neither were wearing gloves. She suggested that Meghan’s actions of rubbing Harry’s hand could stem from a desire to warm him or alleviate her own nerves. The repetitive hand movements she exhibited are termed “adapters.” Interestingly, while some perceive Meghan as attempting to dominate Harry, body language shows that he was, in fact, the one drawing her in closer.
