Meghan Markle Showed 'Dominance' During Public Kiss With Prince Harry, Expert Claims

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent public kiss revealed "a very different power dynamic" between the couple, a body language expert has claimed.

On Sunday, the Duchess of Sussex was seen caressing her husband's cheek as she planted a sweet smooch on his lips after Prince Harry and his team won the Lisle Nixon Memorial polo tournament at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in California.

Judi James, author of the "Body Language Bible," analyzed the Sussexes' body language and suggested that Markle showed "dominance" during the couple's recent PDA moment.

Prince Harry and Markle also shared a memorable kiss at a charity polo match back in July 2018, just weeks after their royal wedding, but James suggested that their recent smooch revealed "a very different power dynamic."

"The [2018] kiss was passionate. Meghan was quite submissive, we got the baring of the neck," she told GB News. "The kiss went on for quite a while. It was almost 'get a room' time, very loving and quite sexual. This recent polo kiss has a very different power dynamic."

In the recent kiss, Prince Harry "bends in a very similar way as if he wants to do another quite passionate kiss, puts his arm around his wife's waist and lowers his head," according to the body language expert. However, James felt that Markle was "very much in command control and steer mode."

"She placed both of her hands on his face, [and] she turns it into a less passionate kiss. It's slightly more tempered, maybe just a peck," James claimed. "What I love is she still gets lipstick on her husband's face and then she takes this almost parental role of wiping it off in front of everybody."

James claimed that Markle's move of wiping lipstick off Prince Harry's face was "quite nurturing" and felt like the duchess was mothering her husband.

"We're seeing a much more dominant Meghan, still very loving but much more in control here now," the expert added.

During Sunday's event, Prince Harry and his Los Padres teammates Nacho Figueras, Keko Magrini and Juan Guerrero won the match with a score of 14 to 10, taking home the Lisle Nixon Memorial cup.

Markle presented the trophy and gave each team member a kiss on the cheek before planting a smooch on her husband's lips.

The duchess was joined at the polo match by her friend and former "Suits" co-star, Abigail Spencer, who twinned with Markle in black-and-white polka dot ensembles.

Figueras revealed that the team's name, Los Padres, was inspired by his and Prince Harry's roles as fathers, according to Us Weekly. The former professional polo player shares four children with his wife, Delfina Blaquier.

Prince Harry and Markle, meanwhile, share son Archie, 3, and daughter Lilibet, 11 months.
