ACCORDING to body language expert Judi James, while Meghan and Harry pose for very romantic shots, their poses are far from the natural and candid selves that the pair want to convey.
She told Fabulous Digital what the Sussex’s poses really mean, saying that: “A swift glance might be natural but to walk and eye-gaze is tricky and unnatural, suggesting the Sussex’s adopt this look as a signal to the world rather than a spontaneous ritual.”
“It suggests that this is a staged look as walking while prolonged eye-gazing would normally end in a tumble! It looks like a performed pose they like to use for the cameras.”
In other news, a royal expert has warned people will “get bored” of Meghan and Harry’s “touchy-feely” content as they continue to sign deals without delivering.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers told the Express: “I’m of the sort of generation that finds all this touchy-feely stuff rather unattractive, and I don’t really understand it and I don’t go for it either.
“So, I wonder, what have they got to say, will their message get any better as time goes on?
“Or will it just be more of the same? And people will get bored with them, won’t they?”

MEGHAN MARKLE & PRINCE HARRY WARNED ‘PEOPLE WILL GET BORED OF THEM’ AFTER THEY SIGN NETFLIX DEALS WITHOUT DELIVERING
More than a year on from joining forces with Netflix, the couple have only announced two major productions – Harry’s ‘Heart of Invictus’ about the Invictus Games and Meghan’s animated children’s show ‘Pearl’.
They’ve also still only released one 34-minute podcast in their nine months with the platform – despite promising much more.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers says he believes people will get “bored” of the kind of “touchy-feely” content the Sussexes have made so far.
He told the Express: “I’m of the sort of generation that finds all this touchy-feely stuff rather unattractive, and I don’t really understand it and I don’t go for it either.
“So, I wonder, what have they got to say, will their message get any better as time goes on?
“Or will it just be more of the same? And people will get bored with them, won’t they?
“That’s what I think will happen.”

HARRY & MEGHAN’S SIGNATURE HOLLYWOOD POSE IS ‘UNNATURAL AND STAGED’ WITH ONE TELLING SIGN GIVING IT AWAY, SAYS EXPERT
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are regularly seen staring into one another’s eyes whenever a camera comes out.
And according to body language expert Judi James, while a very romantic shot, the pose is far from the natural and candid shot that the pair want to convey.
“Eye-ball to eye-ball gazing can be used by a couple to transmit all sorts of messages, from ‘I love you’ to ‘Put that pint down, we’re leaving!’.
“When a couple use prolonged bouts like Harry and Meghan though, it signals exclusivity; an engagement in intimate and private non-verbal conversations, and emphatically equal amounts of devotion and romantic attraction.
“The eyes are the most telling part of the body and eye-gazing like this suggests a desire to tune into one another and read one another’s thoughts.
“Combined with the kind of matching smiles Harry and Meghan are wearing it is also supposed to let us know they are each other’s fan.”

MYSTERY AS THE QUEEN’S ROYAL HELICOPTER LANDS IN PARK
A huge stir was caused yesterday in Birkenhead Park in Wirral, Liverpool as a maroon aircraft with the registration G-XXEB parked up on the green.
Eyewitnesses said the helicopter wasn’t in the park long before taking off again, but no trace of its flight path will be found on radar websites for security reasons.
Many took to social media to suggest who had stepped out of the private aircraft, one joking it was Mr T from the A-Team.
However, there is speculation over the craft being used regularly by The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William who used to be a former RAF Search and Rescue pilot.

“And I bet she was sitting there celebrating my departure from Good Morning Britain so this move will be the stuff of nightmares for her. So cheers Meghan!”

MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY’S TIME MAGAZINE COVER IS A ‘STAB IN THE HEART’ TO QUEEN’S REPUTATION, EXPERT CLAIMS
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were this week named in the magazine’s list of top 100 most influential people in the world.
Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek: “Meghan and Harry landing a cover spot of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People will be seen as a stab in the heart of the Monarchy’s reputation because of the greater implicit credibility it affords them and their previous claims against the crown.”
Schiffer added: “The strategy Harry’s built is to out gun William and to be seen as the authentic prince on a global stage and it’s been beautifully executed.
“They’re very disciplined at it.
“The combination of the leaks and the framing of themselves in part as victims of certain behaviour and on top of that connecting in such authentic ways with global Gen Z and Millennial audiences and allowing them to actually feel what it’s like to interact with a member of the royal family, that on a human level has been powerful.”

PRINCE PHILIP’S WILL TO REMAIN SECRET TO PROTECT ‘DIGNITY’ OF QUEEN, HIGH COURT RULES
Prince Philip’s will is set to remain a secret to protect the “dignity” of the Queen, the High Court has ordered. This is because of her constitutional role.
The Duke of Edinburgh died aged 99 on April 9 this year, just two months before he would have turned 100.
After the death of a senior member of the royal family, it has been convention that an application to seal their will is made to the President of the Family Division of the High Court.
What this means is that the wills of senior members of the royal family are not open to public inspection in the way a will would ordinarily be.

FANS JOKE ‘WERE THEY DESPERATE’ AS MEGHAN MARKLE & ‘HANDBAG’ PRINCE HARRY ARE NAMED IN TIME’S 100 INFLUENTIAL LIST
Royal fans have joked that Time Magazine were “desperate” when they picked Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for their most influential list.
A Hollywood style snap of Harry and Meghan shows the Duke awkwardly hanging off his wife’s shoulder – with many comparing him to a handbag – as the couple were named among the top 100 most influential people in the world.
One wrote: “Top 100 influential people or controversial people in the world? Were you desperate for candidates?”
Another added: “As usual, Meghan’s at the front, the Handbag carrier knows his place.”
Yet another fan joked: “Why does ‘Prince’ Harry’s head look like it’s been airbrushed onto someone else’s body.”
While another asked: “Is Harry wearing a rug? Or just overdone the air brushing?”
And a third said: “Are you sure that’s their bodies? Looked photoshopped.”

HE’S A WANTED MAN
PRINCE Andrew billboards emblazoned with the word “WANTED” and phrase “no one should be above the law” have appeared across Britain.
The posters have sprung up in at least five locations as the Duke of York remains under fire as he has been accused of attempting to dodge a lawsuit that accuses him of rape.
Andrew strongly denies all allegations against him as papers filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre‘s legal team alleged he assaulted her when she was just 17.
The Duke has been blasted for attempting to escape being served papers as he holidays with his mum, The Queen, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Anti-monarchist campaign group Republic put up the striking banners as part of a crowdfunded campaign to “#EndtheMonarchy”.

BIRTHDAY MESSAGE SHOWS RIFT HASN’T HEALED, SAYS EXPERT
PRINCE William and Kate Middleton sent a “curt” birthday message to Prince Harry as he turned 37 today which proved the “ice hasn’t thawed”, claims a royal expert.
The Twitter tribute featured the Duke of Sussex standing alone with the simple message “Happy Birthday Prince Harry!”
Duncan told Fabulous: “William and Kate’s curt birthday message to Harry only serves as proof the ice between the brothers has still not thawed.
“Short of ignoring the Duke of Sussex’s 37th landmark completely, their social media post was the bare minimum from a couple who once welcomed Harry as their official Royal gooseberry.
“If anything, this year’s birthday wishes from the Cambridges are an indication of just how far relations between the two warring clans have deteriorated over the past 12 months.”

PRINCE ANDREW CAN AVOID BEING SERVED WITH SEX ABUSE LAWSUIT BY STAYING AT BALMORAL
PRINCE Andrew can avoid being served with a lawsuit on sex abuse claims — by staying in his Scottish hideaway.
The High Court in London has ruled it can serve papers on the Duke of York on behalf of American lawyers after previous attempts were thwarted.
But Andrew, 61, is still in hiding on the Queen’s Balmoral estate and the English court does not have automatic jurisdiction north of the border. Insiders say the Duke could change his home address to Balmoral to stay out of reach.
The court would have to contact the Court of Session in Edinburgh to serve the papers.
A source said: “Andy and his legal team must have known Scotland would be out of reach when he scarpered up there.”

MEGHAN MARKLE ‘TRYING TO BE LIKE THE OBAMAS’ WITH TIME COVER – AS EXPERTS SAY SHE’S ‘PRIMED’ FOR POLITICAL CAREER
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made waves with their appearance on the front page of the respected US mag that honoured the world’s 100 most influential people.
And royal experts think the powerful pictures alongside the detailed profile accompanying their entry under “Icons” marks the start of Meghan’s manoeuvres into politics.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said of the Sussexes: “This magazine cover has made it very very clear what’s in the couple’s mind – and especially Meghan’s mind – and that’s politics. It must be!
“I think there is absolutely no doubt that if they made the cover it’s not about what they’ve achieved, but what they could achieve.
“They’re going to become more and more visible. I think that they’re looking at politics.”

CHARLES HIGHLIGHTS BENEFITS OF FINANCIAL AND ENVIRONMENT REDUCING FOOD WEBSITE
The Prince of Wales has suggested families can cut greenhouse emissions – and save money – by reducing the amount of food they waste.
Writing an editorial for the Daily Mirror newspaper, Charles highlighted a research project where families held a “use-up day” and cut the produce they dumped every week by a third.
Charles is known to follow the practice of using up food and has also adopted a range of initiatives to save other resources including converting his Aston Martin sportscar to run on surplus wine.
He also wrote about his long-term hope that food products on supermarket shelves will feature a “kite mark” that indicates how sustainably they have been produced.
His comments came as the crisis engulfing his charitable body the Prince’s Foundation deepened, with its chairman Douglas Connell resigning and expressing concern over potential “rogue activity” after reports the organisation accepted a six-figure sum from a Russian donor.

MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY’S TIME MAGAZINE COVER IS A ‘STAB IN THE HEART’ TO QUEEN’S REPUTATION
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s Time Magazine cover is a “stab in the heart” of the Queen’s reputation, an expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were this week named in the magazine’s list of top 100 most influential people in the world.
Glossy pictures showed Harry standing behind his 40-year-old wife with his arms on her right shoulder.
And Time’s picture editor Dilys Ng said the portrait captures the Sussexes’ “powerful dynamic as equal partners”.
But Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek: “Meghan and Harry landing a cover spot of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People will be seen as a stab in the heart of the Monarchy’s reputation because of the greater implicit credibility it affords them and their previous claims against the crown.”

The Duke of York is set to face a lawsuit in the US after the High Court in the UK agreed to serve him papers.
Insiders now say he seems concerned. He vehemently denies the allegations against him.
One source told the publication: “He’s not been his usual blasé self, acting like everything is in hand.
“The issue has suddenly become very pressing and there is a distinct tension in the air.
“There has been a dramatic shift in mood and the reality that this could not only go on for many months, if not years, as well as costing potentially millions of pounds is very real.”

MEGHAN AND HARRY’S AMBITIONS HAVE “BACKFIRED” AND THEY ARE MORE TRAPPED THAN EVER, ROYAL AUTHOR SAYS
Duncan Larcombe, the author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, says the couple moved to LA to try to forge their own path but their mounting unpopularity means it may have backfired.
He said:“If freedom is being able to say what you want, when you want, to whoever you choose to speak to, then Harry has found a degree of freedom. But if freedom is having good will behind you to live in peace, being able to live life as you want it or being at peace with the people you’ve rowed with, then freedom has not been achieved.
“It’s backfired. Harry and Meghan seem to have totally isolated themselves – they’re more trapped than ever in this new life they’ve created.”

MEGHAN MARKLE’S PREFERRED NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO BOTOX IS NOW ON AMAZON
Back in 2018, when Meghan was being welcomed into the Royal Family, she was rumored to be a fan of this product, which has been dubbed”Botox on a bottle.”
According to the brand, in just 60 minutes, your skin will have fewer wrinkles and have a visibly younger look.
Many have already tried it, taking to Amazon reviews to rave about the product.
One actually used it in place of Botox amid the Covid-19 pandemic: “This is working. Truly and honestly after a week of use, I woke up and looked in the mirror and didn’t see a riverbed of furrows.”
