Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of criticism after her overly affectionate display at the Invictus Games opening ceremony in Vancouver. The Duchess of Sussex, who attended the event to support Prince Harry, appeared unusually playful and animated—prompting a body language expert to call her behavior “less professional” and “teenage.”
Throughout the ceremony, Meghan was all smiles, clinging to Harry’s arm, showering him with kisses, and reacting with giddy excitement. While the couple is known for their public displays of affection, expert Judi James believes Meghan took things to a new level.
Speaking to GB News, James remarked, “It was Meghan the human limpet, wasn’t it? She’s never shy about doing PDAs with Harry, obviously, but I think this took it to a different level.”
According to James, Meghan’s demeanor at the event appeared to align with her recent social media activity. “For me, doing it kind of tied in with that social media post that she did the other day,” she said. “And then if you watched her make a speech where she introduced Harry, she’s kind of rebranding as this ‘oh gosh, social media teenager,’ less professional.”
The expert also pointed out the drastic shift in Meghan’s behavior compared to her past royal engagements. “She’s giggling, she’s squealing with excitement at things, she’s very breathless,” James observed. “She had to sit there with him and not just cling on to his arm, she was holding his hand at the same time as well.”
Meghan’s affectionate gestures did not stop there. According to James, the Duchess acted more like a “proud mom” or a love-struck girlfriend than a senior royal figure.
“She was gazing at him, she tilted her head onto his shoulder like they were on a date night,” she continued. “She looked like a cross between a woman on a date night and a mum going to her son’s school open day. It’s a proud mum or besotted wife on a date.”
The body language expert’s analysis has sparked mixed reactions. While some fans see Meghan’s behavior as a sign of genuine love and support for Harry, critics argue that it appears immature and out of place for a high-profile event like the Invictus Games.

Meghan’s presence at the Invictus Games is already under heavy scrutiny, with some questioning whether she is using the event to boost her own public image.
Her recent social media activities, including a relaunch of the Sussexes’ brand and rumors of a return to Hollywood, have further fueled speculation about her motives.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry seemed focused on his role at the event, delivering a heartfelt speech that praised the resilience and courage of the athletes. However, Meghan’s behavior appears to have overshadowed much of the conversation surrounding the games.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has been criticized for her body language. In the past, royal experts have noted her tendency to appear overly controlling or performative during public appearances with Harry.
However, this latest assessment suggests a shift in her approach—one that leans more toward youthful exuberance rather than the polished professionalism expected of a former working royal.
As the Invictus Games continue, Meghan’s every move will likely be analyzed and debated. Whether her display was a genuine show of support or an attempt to rebrand herself remains up for discussion. But one thing is clear—when it comes to Meghan Markle, the world is always watching.
