Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were reportedly “on high alert” during their appearance in Brussels on November 10. The Duchess of Sussex and her husband attended the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament.
However, body language expert Susan Constantine interpreted their expressions as tense and subdued. The engagement followed the arrest of Markle’s estranged father in the United States. Meanwhile, she did not deliver her planned remarks, leaving Harry to address child safety online.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were ‘seemingly aware of the attention on them’ at Brussels event, per expert
According to Page Six’s November 10 report, Susan Constantine examined the couple’s appearance. She said, “Meghan’s eyes look weary, with noticeable dark circles and a subdued expression.” Furthermore, the expert claimed Markle appeared to “hold herself together” before cameras. She described “the sadness in her eyes” and “the tension across her face.” Constantine added, “It almost appears as though she is fighting back tears.” However, these observations reflected her interpretation rather than confirmed emotions.
Meanwhile, Constantine also examined Prince Harry’s demeanor as the couple walked past cameras and spectators. “The couple appears on high alert as they scan the cameras and spectators around them,” she said. Constantine added, “They maintain a steady pace, seemingly aware of the attention on them.” Additionally, the expert noted Harry’s “repeated stroking of his beard” and “serious countenance.” She suggested he appeared “deep in thought and perhaps unsettled by the circumstances.” Separately, the couple arrived holding hands. Harry later addressed the memorial, saying children “deserve to feel safe” online.
The event followed the November 6 arrest of Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr. He faced a federal charge involving child sexual abuse material and denied wrongdoing. Subsequently, a November 10 court order revoked his pretrial release following an alleged violation of his ankle monitor. People reported on November 11 that he would remain detained pending trial, subject to possible reconsideration of bond. Meanwhile, Markle attended the Brussels event but did not deliver the speech she was expected to give. The Sussexes’ representative did not immediately respond to Page Six.
