This week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (open in new tab) gave a rare television interview for the Time 100 (open in new tab). Body language expert Judy James spoke to the Daily Mail (opens in new tab) and deciphered Harry's current state of mind from the unspoken hints he gave in the video.

According to James, Harry "looked uncomfortable" and seemed "conscious of the camaraderie" that his interview with Princess Meghan (opens in new tab) might cause in the rest of the royal family.

"Harry and Meghan seem to prefer to dress up their more rebellious behavior as friendly, down-to-earth, normal people. That means it takes them a while to realize that what they are doing here is groundbreaking for the farm that is the royal family," James explained the significance of the interview, in which the couple touched on politics and encouraged their American fans to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

James also noted that Harry took a backseat to Meghan (open in new tab) in terms of body language and that Meghan was more physical during the interview, which took place in the backyard of their $14 million home in Montecito, California (open in new tab), with a bench the couple shared space, he noted. According to James, this could have been a very calculated move on Harry's part.

"Again, he may need to appear like a guest rather than a host so that he doesn't look like someone who is lecturing on a topic that is not personally relevant," she said. Just as President Obama lectured British voters on Brexit and the U.S. president voted in favor of Brexit despite being very popular in Britain."

During the part of the video where Harry and Meghan (open in new tab) urge their American fans to vote, the Prince's discomfort peaked, according to James, and he explained:

"This may seem like a deeply likeable couple urging people to vote But Harry would have been well aware of the potential fallout in the UK and within his own family. His distraction rituals seem to reflect this, hinting at some level of discomfort. Harry's mouth is partially drawn into the shape of an Ox's mouth

in a minute gesture of slight regret.

His knees are spread to suggest confidence and authority, but the gesture is truncated in terms of strength, as his legs are braced at the ankles. There is a look and eye movement that suggests tension, and a knuckle-cracking gesture in one scene. Like nail biting, knuckle cracking may be a displacement or self-attack ritual that occurs when one is unable to attack an angry opponent.
