Honestly, this is really relatable.

– Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been the most PDA-friendly of royal couples. And, like many of us with our own partners, Meghan uses a certain touch, a body language expert says, to let Harry know that it’s time to stop talking and move on.that when Meghan is ready for Harry to end a conversation while in public, she expresses it not verbally but with an under-the-radar gesture that could easily be missed by someone not intricately studying the couple.

“So, Meghan does that signal that she applies so many times to end conversations – that is touching people,” he says. “Whether it’s the [Commonwealth Day 2019] video, or the red dress [Annual Salute to Freedom Gala] video, or the Oprah video where she wanted Harry to stop talking, she used that touch that is more like a tap.”

Rosas analyzed several public appearances Harry and Meghan made over the years – both before they resigned as working members of the royal family and after – and noticed this polite gesture happened over and over, with Harry frequently, and with others, as well. While attending the WellChild Awards in 2019, Meghan seems to signal nonverbally that she needs to move on to the next part of the evening by tapping an attendee’s arm.

“And she does that on the lady – she taps her arm then goes to grab her purse,” Rosas said. “And touching the lady and grabbing her purse means let’s go.”Rachel Burchfield Rachel Burchfield is a freelance writer whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family.

Insecure two some! Pretty shallow as well!!

Why doesn’t he man up and have some pride with the wee Wifi ?

Part of her narcissistic and controlling behavior.

There’s always a specialist with no qualifications in a fake job making things up to fit the narrative they’re paid the most of LMFAO

Let me correct you The silent gesture of the controlling narcissist ...exhibit A

Hush Harry

I’ve got to block thirsty Marie Claire it’s ridiculous .

Megan must start taping Harry more often…!! In fact she must be permanently by his side…!! She hasn’t done a good job so far…!!

No clicks ever bc you wrote this lie looking for attention but end up making an ar$e of yrself. Now be silent

black_hats22org This is humiliating!

She’s in control of everything.

Silent gesture?!?! It sticks out like a sore thumb.

black_hats22org The Sussexclaw 😬😬

The claw……

Wow, Marie Claire exposes itself as not worth engaging with from this moment on. To imagine, I used to think this tabloid was a legitimate establishment; I won't think that again.

TY - Marie Claire - For distinctive, CLARITY, inducing article portraying, someone who's carefully manipulating ano individual for her own ends, not just any individual, it's HMTQ's grandson & the future King's son with a now BO-SHELL book in the pipeline against the TFK's wife ?

Relatable?They put themselves in these situations TO TALK to people. She actually seems like she can't be bothered and he genuinely seems to like talking to people. And just when he gets into a real convo that's when she 'cracks the whip' which is what that hand gesture really is

It doesn't work.

He’s her beach !!

🤭

She might as well put a short leash on him..this article is way off..MM is a control freak imo.. we all know it..

She does but it’s not that theSparkleDeathStare

You have to understand that M was effectively in H's workspace. As a newbie she simply didn't know enough to be leading the show, when he could talk, when to shut up, when to move along, when to leave. She made herself look ugly-pushy & ill-mannered.

Yhhhh so much for being 'for women'... DISGUSTING. SHAME ON YOU

How desperate for a fashion magazine to turn into a propaganda machine in order to get clicks.

It is just plain rude to interrupt anyone, let alone a member of our Royal family, when they are mid sentence! One of the first reasons I started to dislike her - her complete lack of basic good manners!

Abusive behaviour is not 'relatable'. Shame on you Marie Claire.

If a man was doing this to a woman, all kinds of red alerts would be flaring. Harry's body language showed he was completely controlled by Meghan which is not one bit cute.

Hilarious she has to be in control and be centre stage. She is a controlling person.

An article written and supported by bitter, miserable and lonely women who have never experienced real love and keeps projecting their miserable experience on Meghan. Prince Harry will not marry any of you, go find your own husband and stop hating on Meghan.

hahahahaha we might have known lmao exactly like a puppeteer! Ironic no?

I am pretty sure that Meghan even hit and throw stuff to Harry at home. One day Harry will appear with a black eye and we will know who did it.

See how she controls him.👎👎

Controlling and disrespectful.

What a foolish magazine!

Yeah right! Megaliar’s PR, try again, you’re welcome BetterShutUpHarry princeharryisaliar

Seems actions speaking far louder than words was not just lost on H&M but Marie Claire, too…. Sad.

'I'm important now, Harry. No time for the peasants.' lowclass

Apparently it's cute & normal for one couple but not her/them! I wonder whats different with Meghan..🤔

Wtf🤯not even bothering to be subtle with this age old sexist narrative & characterisation as an controlling “angry black woman” shame on you.The strange part is the fact they even picked a picture of them litterly just walking toward a building!They're not even talking to anyone

Meghanhasmanhands

Exactly!!!

HARRY IS HER PROP!

controlling?

Get a life .., maybe she’s saying I heard that fart!! Lol

Very appropriate gesture.

Shocking he lets her do it

Do better . What in the pseudo garbage is this ?

This is a massive red flag.

Looks more like bullying to me .she's a control freak

Prince Harry influenced by Duchess Meghan is wrong to say 'British Royal should acknowledge UK Colonial Past'. Her Majesty the Queen always mentions Commonwealth in her annual Christmas Broadcast for 70 years,being head of Commonwealth, who join her in Cenotaph annual ceremonies.

Finally Marie Claire is finally acknowledging the well documented truth of obvious highly controlling behaviour. If this was constantly seen being done to a ‘woman’ your magazine would have red flagged it a long time ago. And this is just in public. Imagine what we don’t see?

Control freak !!!!!!

How controlling

Prince William behavior says he doesn't gave a hoot shit about Kate and they don't sleep together even Queen has to interfere so he doesn't dump her ....

🤣🤣🤣 fake woman. Smile but behind the scene “ oh…! I’m very bored stop now and move… move… move Harry my younger son”. 🤣🤣🤣

Haha puppet Harry she controls from the back

You mean the ‘narcissistic gesture’ MM uses to direct 6

Imagine a bloke doing this “silent gesture” to shut his wife up? Would be called a controlling bastard. Works both ways. This is not healthy, don’t advertise it as it is.

How the narcissist controls him!

Not a good look for to be amplifying misinformation, by a known hate for profit account.

This witch has an illegal bot network. The company have admitted to colluding with markle to attack & threaten royal fans and anyone who criticises her.

On many occasions, she tapped his back and literally bulldozed passed him..some foreigners (not British) on this thread possibly do not understand protocol and rank in the RF..the wife or husband doesn't push in front of a prince/princess..its rude and disrespectful..

Not so subtle with those huge hands of hers.

RuleBGB 😂🤣😂

🤮

Thats not relatable its rude control.

Her claw strikes!

This is pathetic!

It’s been seen over and over again. She even stands whilst he is talking to give the cue. You see that some times he rebels and continues to chat for a few more minutes all very awkward to watch

🤮

The controlling gesture

Gold digger holding on....

She saves the leash for home...

Why do you think she moved HIM to America. This kind of behaviour wouldn’t happen here. He has too many people here who would call out her inappropriate behaviour. She’s isolated him and made him totally dependent on her, her friends. He’s lost himself completely.

Ah ha, the STFU signal.

So, what does it mean when Kate does it?

The puppet and the puppeteer

One of her friends really need to be honest with her! She is repugnant!

Knesix probably thinks he's a genius and that's because his YouTubes shows explain the painfully obviouos BTW he loves to pick on Harry & Meghan (especially Meghan) for the click bait and not because he's a fuckin genius

These magazines thrive in making up foolishness for the gullible

This is fucking embarrassing. What in the hit piece bullshit is this . ?!

It is amazing how you people take a simple living jester and turn into something so sinister! She does it to him and Harry does it to her. They do as any loving couple would do. They hold hands, they look in each other’s eyes. Their smiles are filled with love.

Don't believe the hype! Stop lying! If anything, she's encouraging him to interact more. Do you wake up with more shit to lie about?

Not heard from Meghan in weeks if not months - although it must be noted we’ve seen the ‘controlled’ Harry plenty of times 👀 - so to conjure up a non story let’s look at pics from over 2 years ago. Are you not embarrassed?

Blink twice, Harry, just blink twice.

Meghan is controlling Harry. That is also classed as abusive. Can't stand H, but he needs to leave the abusive marriage. Just don't come back to England cos we don't want you.

It's not silent or polite, it's rude, controlling and very obvious to spot, Meghan's narcissism silencing Harry isn't normal, and won't be treated as such if genders were reversed

Family court. Sad

Try watching HGTudorKTN

Harry, what has she got over you?

TheMeYouCantSee AppleTVPlus 📽 credit Dani MeghanMarkle & PrinceHarry UK hell w/tabloid attacks PH'I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met wtotal silence or total neglect' PrinceWilliam

Che notiziona.. L'avevamo già capito che Harry è succube della moglie. Punto

📽 Jasamgurlie CBS The Invisible contract between the royalfamily & the UK media❗ UK’s tabloïds print & online, are owned by rich men whose newspapers reflect their far-right political views. They’ve not taken kindly to MeghanMarkle PrinceHarry

ICYMI 👑👑👑 👇👇🏾👇 Camilla has been canny. She’s kept the media close & the Daily Mail even closer. Daily Mail is attacking PrinceHarry & MeghanMarkle every single day since 2018❗️ What do you think about this? PrinceCharles

This is a non story, these shameful people have never experienced a loving gesture, both H&M does it. All garbage to make a quick buck.

Now when we were saying this, we were wrong. This is NOT normal behavior, folks. 🚩🚩🚩🚩

So.. Hearst sells Marie Claire to U.K.-based publisher, Future plc and they follow the bandwagon of lazy reporting and getting content from social media 🤦🏽‍♀️.. let me block and all it’s armature writers 😂

There’s nothing silent about it. We’ve all seen it.

The Claw has gone mainstream

Relatable? Controlling

She walks in front of him and starts talking to the people in the group so he has to stop? As that diplomat aptly said on their Morocco trip, “she is repugnant”! Glad they quit the RF so he isn’t humiliated like that for all to see.

The Sussex claw

The Claw

MM also hangs onto Harry with both hands. For her to allow him to have one hand free to actually interact w/someone else is rare. It’s not charming or a cutesy couple thing its controlling & obnoxious. Marie Claire has one take on the Harkles & it is always fawningly inaccurate.

Can we have a signal to stop HER from talking too?

Look who are the body language guys from YouTube followers every since one of the hate account.

Knesix is THE body language expert. His videos about H & TW together with other celebrities are worth watching. He does meticulous research and it is always on point!

Well if there ever was a pointless article that’s it.

Yes reporting from a troll account

No manners!!

Guess who is the puppet master?🤡

please don’t glorify this behavior. It’s rude and condescending and should stop.

Her dream was to be a princess. In her mind she is princess and Harry is Just Harry. She is very controlling

Wait! What?!.... did Meghan tell you that or are you manufacturing this article for likes? Outlets like you know no shame.

It does make him look weak though. Probably because he is but whatever.

I can’t stand her. She’s totally taken over and basically driven Harry from his family. But then again, isn’t that what he wants? I also think they should both give up their titles seeing as they don’t want to be royals anymore. Oh yeah, they use their titles for financial game.

No. We all can't relate to that. That was part of his job as a Royal at the time. It was rude and arrogant. She can do whatever she wants with him now though. It doesn't matter when you are irrelevant and not working.

When writes such a negative article about you, Princess Pinocchio, you know the whole world sees through your narcissist and grifting behaviours! Oops daisy! 😳🤥🤣

Oh my goodness Marie Claire. This is what you look like printing this article.. Are you not EM-BAR-ASSED

You’ve been watching Knesix “The body language guy” on YouTube!!! Good for you!

SavedOneClick

Knesix must be getting underneath H&TW’s skin for Marie Claire to publish something this dangerous and dumb. Can’t wait for his next video!

Meg pushed her way past Harry all the time. I'm surprised she didn't shove Catherine and William too. Such restraint.

Its something alot of us have been saying but no we're seeing things. We've said this life wasn't for her and it isn't. If its bout her oh shes all bout it or what she's into but outside she's not interested.

Meghan hasn't been seen since the Nov 10, 2021. Let's go thru the responses to this story to count how many hateful things Meghan is called you deplorable fiends. Go report on the BRF/European Royals. Oh wait, there's no money in it. 🙄

Silent yes, subtle no.

So these alleged body language experts are 'studying' & reporting on pics of PH&M circa 2018 to Mar 2020. It's 2022! You're disgusting. They're no longer wkg Royals & live in a different country & here you are making money off clickbait & hate on Meghan.

Politely ? Lol

It’s not her position to tell him when to stop! She needs to stay in her lane.

Is Harry a man or a little boy as the way me gain treats him in public and if l was Harry l would tell her to stick it and divorce her for treating me as a child in public

why do u keep repeating this post?markle uses hypnosis,drugs & physical violence 2 control pr harry,she has been doing this since oct 2016,look pics videos of what she does 2 him,backrubbing,handgrabbing,hypnosis eye contact,etc;meg needs 2 b in jail b4 pr harry is next funeral

Meghag the bully😂

She does it all the time:

Is there one to use on her, PLEASE!!!!!

😱 SURPRISED! says no one that l Marie Claire's hit piece on Meghan is frm a British publication? I knew it! You're pathetic. Hearst Sells Marie Claire to a British Publisher Future. The company has sold the United States edition of Marie Claire to the British publisher.

MM is a narcissistic controller. She pushes him and claws his hand at every instance.

Poor emasculated man

what? mainstream media Marie Claire mag wrote a disparaging article about MM (I didn't read-I'm 'working' wink wink) has a major fashion/beauty mag caught on to 'the claw'?

Controlling and rude.

Like- sorry.

Maybe he has asked her to do this as a reminder for him to move on, as he probably is so distracted by whomever he is trying to get to lime him.

Reall now?

This is a stupid article people

My spouse does this. I find it very condescending and rude.

Can the Sussexes be aware of those stupid media spreading misinformation and free hate (especially against Meghan) direct from hate accounts on YouTube ? People need to finally be sued! Enough! JennyAfia JoelleRich3 cbouzy

Not relatable, & not polite. Controlling… & everyone has noticed it, not just body language experts.

He should try it on her.. she’s too controlling

Knesix 👏👏👏

🤣🤣🤣how did the world 'politely' end up in a description referencing schmegs

It’s not relatable to regularly control your partner in public

This gesture drives me crazy. She has no respect for him yet expects it for herself. She is so arrogant, rude and demeaning.

This body language is one of those who got paid to drag Meghan on the mud and press love it to elevate Kate which is really a poor PR stunt🤔 indeed every man need a nudge here and there🤷🏽‍♀️ woman be standing long with pinching shoes 🤷🏽‍♀️ for what😁

A polite gesture? There’s nothing polite or normal about this behaviour, if a woman asked to stop talking mid sentence this much by her husband, we’d be saying these are clear signs of controlling behaviour but since it’s a woman to a man we downplay it’s seriousness.

If the roles were reversed would people be as passive about it? Not that I think Harry is in any way a victim--he's not. But if Meghan were a man, this controlling behavior would be considered disturbing on so many levels.

It’s impoliteness of her to do such, she’s a narcissist 😩😩😩

They forgot the claw grab 🤣🤣

Wait, so when PH places his hand on Meghan's back does, even stroking it, that means he's telling her to wrap it up? What abt when he holds her hand behind his back while stroking her finger(s). Does QE2 make gesters w/her purse? Go look at other Royal wives and report back.

I prefer to cue my dog with a quick tug on his leash, but whatever works... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t care

She truly believed she was a monarch.

Harry-no-balls

So rude. It's constant. Either she doesn't like the attention on him or she is totally disinterested. He should determine when it's time to move on.

Without HM name you guys can’t sell RF story and saints of that family simple.

“Polite gesture” That’s generous.

It’s embarrassing. Control freak much?

You actually see this as a positive thing, marieclaire? SMH. Who is this D-list actress/nobody to tell a dignitary to stop talking? Just when I didn't think it was possible that you could sink any lower with your sycophant adoration, you find a way.

This is very noticeable trait. Personally I think it's very unhealthy for 1 partner to have control over another. I've never seen Harry do it to her.

Classic narcissism and the assertion of control. Poor, emasculated nearly-forty-year-old toddler is Hairy. SussexClaw 👑💗🥞

Harry and Meghan were living in Kensington Palace n Apt 1A next to Kate and William when they married. They shared Kate's staff until William and Kate felt she was abusing them and asked the Queen to separate them they then lived briefly in the cottage until Frogmore was finished

😕 Well he choice this life and I hope he enjoys it. What goes around comes around.

Bollocks

The fact that you are endorsing a sexist article from a racist is gross and disrespectful. This is why I don’t buy or click on your irrelevant magazine.

Well, it certainly is more elegant than sticking her finger up his ass.

When reporting about William don't give what It supposed to give, they create fake stories about Harry and Meghan. They are the standard. You mention their names and you're sure to hit them comments and likes numbers up. I guess the experts ain't got much to say about this...

Its called control..

She needs to stop!

Is this pandering in hopes of getting an exclusive with the mistress queen?

I love Knesix Jesus' videos break down each movement and facial expression so you see and understand what you're looking at. I watch every video when it posts on YouTube.

StellaRoyal111 One of the reasons M was disliked was her refusal to follow protocol. Pushing H aside was one of those things. It’s downright rude

He has Mommy issues...not Daddy ...but Mommy.

The Duchess of Cambridge uses the same with Prince William to achieve exactly the opposite.

She is very controlling. All she wants is attention to herself which nobody gives her ....lol.

🤔 narcissist?

Marie Claire, your article is ..

Meghan has Harry completely whipped

ChrisFa76144739 My parents just used to give me a clip to the back of the head..that was pretty silent as I never saw it even coming.

Sorry what? A “polite “ gesture? It’s quite the opposite- it’s extremely rude when you consider how often and how unnecessarily she uses it. Since when was she the one in charge and the one who determined when it was time to go?

This is a flattering article?

how can they even think its relatable

I guess your body language 'expert' had a day off when this came out 🙄

SabirahLohn

Ok Marie Claire; the desperation for engagement is just embarrassing. This is how low you’ve sunk.

Harry is totally controlled by Meghan! That doesn’t excuse his behavior though - he’s responsible for what he has done to his family and his country.

The red flags 🚩 from the article: “when Meghan is ready for Harry to end a conversation”, “Meghan does that signal that she applies so many times to end conversations”, “where she wanted Harry to stop talking”, “Meghan seems to signal nonverbally that she needs to move on”

It’s not silent - it’s oppressive.

How old is that photo? Seems unhealthy to bang on about her still. She’s been gone for years.

It’s actually not subtle or relatable. It’s bossy and controlling.

Yes mother.

Woman touches her husband and it's control. Seriously?

Utter control freak!! Devil in disguise 😩

Another ill-fitting suit.

Tell you that herself did she?

SabirahLohn How does he get her to shut up

Oh please!! What a load a crap!!

this is an abusive relationship and that's that!

She is so rude

This is why she always held his hand..so she can squeeze his hand when she wants him to move on or stop talking, its one of her methods of control. Harry is so naive he thinks its affection.

Shush Harry shush 🤐

Are you sure there isn’t a “stop talking “ button she’s constantly pushing?

Sorry are we reading the same article? Prince Harry who has been known to find himself in the most scandalous of situations? I've had a partner who has told me to signal him once he begins to digress. Really? You settled on control? 😂

It's not relatable at all. I don't treat my husband like a trained dog. It's patronizing and demeaning. If she were a guy, everybody would be shouting from the rooftops how abusive their relationship is...

The poking, prodding, hand grabbing (well, back in the day), elbowing aside and thr laying of the hand on the arm to 'shush' H are all super controlling behaviours that would be unacceptable from a man.

Finally the fawning magazines paid to fawn over the disastrous couple are publishing the truth Meghan was serving her 15' and it was time to leave her boredom when there are no photos or no focus on her reflection so she presses her jaw and touches her back of the puppet Let's go

Yes

You're in Marie Claire! Congrats. The author has her own spin, but that's cool.

Why? Does she think she is his mother? Does she think its ok to control one’s husband?

I just read the post title and knew IMMEDIATELY, the Body Language Guy, you are sooooooo famous!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Poor Harry. He’ll know better for his next marriage. 🤣😉

If it was him doing it to her, he would be lambasted, he is in an abusive relationship, when he is dumped he will be a danger to himself.

Wind-up Haz

Is she trying to “silence” Harry?
