The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to be making a fresh effort to ‘reconnect’ with the public
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have offered a candid glimpse into their lives away from the public spotlight.
The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 45th birthday on August 4 by sharing a playful moment in which she jumped into a swimming pool surrounded by birthday balloons.
Meghan also posted a light-hearted video on her official Instagram account, showing the barefoot Sussexes enjoying a relaxed and intimate celebration at their Montecito home.
The footage captured Harry and Meghan laughing, dancing and spending time with their dogs, giving followers a look at the couple’s more carefree side.
Analysing the candid moments, body language expert Darren Stanton said the Sussexes are sharing a side of themselves that royal fans would rarely have seen from members of the Royal Family in previous years.
“They’re sharing moments that you would never, ever have seen from other members of the Royal Family, especially in the past,” Stanton shared.
He added, “You do wonder what Queen Elizabeth would have made of it all – that would have been quite interesting.”
According to Express.co.uk, Stanton believes Harry and Meghan could be trying to “reconnect” with the public by showing that they also enjoy simple, everyday moments as a couple.
“Ultimately, these posts are giving people an insight into what they’re like together behind the scenes. They’re showing that royals don’t have to be serious all the time and that they have a fun, light-hearted side to their personalities,” the expert added.
