Even in Cinderella’s world, the fairy tale ending would have unfolded unnoticed without the hidden twists and turns. Therefore, as descendants of royal lineage, the tale of the Duke and the Duchess would be incomplete without the discerning public eye and expert remarks. Darren Stanton, a body language expert, pointed out to Hello! Magazine in a recent interview how the pair has allegedly cut down on displaying their “openly passionate” moments.

Stanton stressed that their “engaged eye contact” has curtailed and possibly the duo has “toned” the PDA “down a bit in recent times.”. She continued that Markle and Harry still share “huge levels of respect for each other” and “will do anything to support each other”. However, reflecting on her analysis, she concluded that their “body language” has undergone drastic changes over time.
