Prince Harry seems to have embraced his royal roots during his latest public appearance, as he and Meghan Markle comforted victims of the ongoing California wildfires.

Despite stepping down as a full-time working royal five years ago, some of Harry’s familiar royal behaviors were evident during the outing on January 10. Accompanied by Meghan, the Duke of Sussex visited an evacuation center in Pasadena, California, where the couple helped distribute food and supplies to those affected by the wildfires. This effort came shortly after they were reported to have donated additional supplies to those in need.

A body language expert analyzed the couple’s actions during this emotional visit, providing insight into their responses. Judi James told Express.co.uk, “Meghan uses a variety of different levels of response here to show her reactions to the stories she is hearing. Her shoulder touch leads to a very deep hug of consolation, followed by responses of horror as she clutches her hands together and even performs a praying hand gesture.”

Regarding Harry, James noted, “Harry looks a little distracted at one point and maybe at a loss to know how to react, but he mirrors his wife by placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder. He appears more assured with the man, cupping the side of his face before offering a very close hug of what looks like sympathy.”
