Meghan Markle ‘strides off’ Prince Harry upon US arrival
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently displayed a more unguarded side of their personalities when they were spotted off-camera, presenting a stark contrast to their often public-facing, affectionate demeanor. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who just returned to California, were seen in a manner different from their usual tactile selves.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines in 2020 when they decided to step back from their roles as senior members of the Royal Family, citing a desire for a more private life and the freedom to manage their own affairs without the constraints typically associated with royal duties.

The move was part of a broader controversy that included allegations of racism directed toward their son, Archie, within the Royal Family, which the couple discussed in a widely viewed television interview. Speaking about the couple, body language expert Judi James told The Mirror: “Harry’s shoulders look slumped and he walks alone, wearing what looks like a mouth clamp gesture. Meghan looks much more like the one taking care of business.”
She then compared the couple to their time in Nigeria, “In Nigeria the couple were perma-linked, walking hand in hand and side by side, but here she strides off, ahead to climb into the car while Harry packs his bag in the boot, with her phone held aloft as though taking a call,” they noted.

These serious accusations highlighted the couple’s struggles and strained relationships within the Royal Family. Now settled in California, the couple has been building a new life away from the intense scrutiny of the British press. They have been involved in various charitable endeavors and continue to work on projects that align with their values, including mental health advocacy and social justice.
California is also where they welcomed their second child, Princess Lilibet. The recent sighting of the couple in a more relaxed, off-guard moment suggests that they are finding some semblance of the normalcy they sought when they chose to relocate. This glimpse into their lives indicates that beyond the public engagements and formal appearances, they are navigating the everyday aspects of life as a family under less public scrutiny.
