A recent dance video featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has attracted attention, with a body language expert suggesting it reveals underlying dynamics between the couple. The black-and-white footage, shared by Meghan on social media over the weekend, shows the couple dancing barefoot on the lush lawn of their Montecito estate. Meghan stated that their four-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, filmed the moment, which the Duchess of Sussex captioned, “When 2026 feels just like 2016….you had to be there. Cred: our daughter.”
In her analysis, expert Traci Brown pointed out that the couple appears to be on “really different pages.” As Meghan enthusiastically dances towards Harry with her arms raised, he looks away, which Brown interprets as a lack of engagement. “You can tell how excited someone is by how high their hands are. And this is as excited as you can get,” she remarked. While Harry eventually reaches for Meghan, Brown noted it lacks the same enthusiasm and his feet remain stationary.
As the dance progresses, Harry does seem to warm up, ultimately pulling Meghan in close, demonstrating their connection. Brown, who spoke to RadarOnline, also highlighted what she termed a “notable jump cut” in the clip, suggesting it may have been edited to remove an undesired moment. “There is a cut in the video, so something went wrong in there that they don’t want us to see,” she explained.
Skepticism surrounds Meghan’s assertion that Lilibet filmed the footage, given its professional quality. Brown speculated that the only way the child could have achieved such a steady shot would be if she were positioned behind a gimbal set to follow the couple’s movements. “Lilibet certainly wasn’t in charge,” Brown concluded.
Social media users have echoed this skepticism, with several expressing doubts about the authenticity of the video’s origin. One Reddit user humorously noted, “Lol my son who I think is of similar age to Lilibet would have probably recorded the grass only. No way would he hold a camera this still.” Another commenter questioned the organic nature of the moment, saying, “If this was genuine we’d be looking at a weird angle and the kid would have dropped the phone to go chase a butterfly halfway through.”
Despite the criticism, some users defended Meghan, stating that modern technology allows children to capture videos with impressive stability. “Just an FYI my small kids can record videos like this because the cameras are easy to use,” one user pointed out, while another added, “Kids these days are built different.”
This analysis and the reactions it has garnered highlight the ongoing public fascination with the couple’s life and the scrutiny they face, particularly regarding their portrayals in the media. The video, while seemingly lighthearted, opens up discussions about authenticity and the dynamics of celebrity in the digital age.
