What the Queen was really like – by those who knew her

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the United Kingdom after Queen Elizabeth II’s death on Thursday, to pay tribute to the longest reign in the British Monarchy.  The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reunited with Prince William and Kate Middleton since the Queen's death, and Harry has been seen with his father, King Charles III as well. British citizens got candid about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship with the royal family.

A body language expert has said that Prince Harry had “nothing to hide his emotions behind” at the Queen’s emotional procession earlier today, Wednesday 14 September, as he wasn’t wearing military uniform.The Duke of Sussex looked sombre as he wore a morning suit, while other members of the Royal Family – apart from Prince Andrew – donned military uniforms. In light of Prince Harry, 37, not wearing the uniform, which includes a peak cap, body language expert Judi James compared Harry’s behaviour to the way he was at his mother Princess Diana’s funeral 25 years ago after she was killed in a car crash.
