00:00 The Invictus Games are taking place in Germany this year.
00:05 On this occasion, Prince Harry traveled to Düsseldorf.
00:09 At the opening, he stood on stage in front of thousands of spectators and gave a speech.
00:15 A body language expert explains what might have been going on inside his head.
00:20 If you looked closely, you noticed one detail about Harry's appearance.
00:24 He played with his fingers.
00:27 Expert Darren Stanton analyzed this behavior and shared it with the Mirror.
00:32 Harry was seen playing with his ring finger, which is a self-reassurance gesture.
00:37 This type of gesture is generally used when someone is feeling nervous.
00:42 And further, from Meghan's point of view, she did show pride in feeling immensely confident
00:48 in front of the audience.
00:51 Other experts agree, such as Torsten Havener, who indicated that Harry is a nervous person
00:56 in his biography reserve.
00:59 The royal even had to struggle with panic attacks.
01:03 Stanton called the Invictus Games so far the "Meghan Show" since she was much more confident
01:07 than the prince.
01:08 However, she is trying to seem less controlling.
01:12 She would previously put her hand on his back and guide him by his elbow.
01:16 However, in recent months, there has been a dramatic decrease in the demonstration of
01:21 these types of gestures, where she is trying to assert her power.
01:26 Another gesture also reveals a lot about Harry's inner life.
01:30 When he arrived in Dusseldorf, he kept holding on to his jacket.
01:35 However, another expert, Judy James, indicates that Harry has grown in the way he communicates
01:41 with the audience.
01:43 Despite the cheer, chants, and standing ovation, Harry's body language behavior made him look
01:48 more mature, more grown up, less of a celebrity and more low-key.
01:53 There was no playing to the crowd or showboating.
