Bruce Durham, a psychologist and body language expert, spoke about how the Duchess of Sussex’s choice of footwear is unsuitable for terrain at the Los Angeles National Cemetery. She also suggested that the trip meant more to Harry because of her military service and that Meghan did her best to support her husband during the emotional moment. The couple was criticized for taking a private photographer for the event, prompting some experts to declare the service a “PR stunt”.
Mr Durham told the Daily Mirror that Megan was making a “huge effort” at the cemetery with Harry because of her thin heels.
“If you see the two of you before the wreath, you see the photo – see how thin Meghan’s heels are.
“Then switch to his photo in the middle of a huge meadow field – you know for a fact that he’s causing chaos the moment he sets foot on the waiting grass so he kills himself trying to get into that position. He’s in the field for the shot.” )
“You couldn’t enter the grass field without going into that weed, so that every woman globally would know that – she’s put in a lot of effort to get that picture – just look at the amount of grass she’s covered to get there.”

Body language experts then explained in detail how Harry had been visible from the moment, while Meghan was comforting and supportive.
He added, citing Harry’s wreckage and bowed head: “This is a clear indication that a part of the brain called the hippocampus has stopped here because he is recalling his own emotional military memories and experiences while looking at the graves – this is his face.
“Compare this to Meghan’s slight head bevelter tilt – she has no experience of this, naturally, she is unable to relate this experience to it, that’s why she bows her head.
“She’s more than pleased with the event. Again, this isn’t a negative, more than what a wife would feel if she came up with a military partner on her occasion.”
The images of Harry and Meghan caused controversy when it was revealed that they hired a private photographer named Lee Morgan to pull the couple up instantly because they had respect.
Good Morning Britain host Pierce Morgan leads the charge against the Sussex Royals, and often blasts images.
At GMB, he said the images made it clear that the Los Angeles service was a “vague PR stunt” that was “stuck in its gullet”.
Co-host Susanna Reid, however, rebuffed Mr Morgan’s claims, adding: “Why don’t they want to show their respect when they have such a strong connection?”
Harry requested a poppy wreath at Cenotaph in his absence on Remembrance Sunday.
But the courtiers of the Royal Family were said to have turned down his request, as he was no longer a working monarch.
According to a Times report, Queen Elizabeth II was unaware of her grandchildren’s request, and Duke was described as “very sad” by the snub.
Harry served in the armed forces for 10 years, made two trips to Afghanistan and rose to the rank of captain.
