Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared as the “US version of the royals” during their visit to meet with victims of the LA fires this week, according to a prominent body language expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Pasadena Convention Center on Friday, which has become an evacuation site for victims of the Eaton fire in nearby Altadena.

Having previously made monetary donations to the relief efforts via their Archewell Foundation, the duo donated clothing, children’s items, and other essential supplies to the main donation center.

Body language expert Judi James has now decoded the pair’s exterior, saying they displayed a regal status in several images captured during their brief outing.

“Meghan is doing some full body hugs here in a ritual of consoling and her facial expression mirrors the sadness the people she’s meeting must be feeling,” James told the Mirror.

“Coming on top of some more practical help from the couple there’s a feeling they’re appearing like the US version of our royals.”

Harry and the “Suits” alum were seen exchanging hugs with several individuals and families affected by the crisis.

According to James, Markle’s heartfelt embrace is a “signature” move by the couple.

“This seems to have been an immersive experience for Meghan and Harry although, given their signature body language brand, it was always going to be the ‘consoling’ hugs that would provide the most camera-worthy moments,” she told the outlet.

“For Harry it will be an urge that is in his DNA as a royal, with attending the location of a disaster and tragedy and just being visible, being part of the job.”

“He seems to be in that mode here, listening to stories and experiences to hopefully reassure and raise morale, but then there is the extra role of some hands-on hugging that has been added to the repertoire more recently,” she added.

Elsewhere, James told the Daily Mail that Harry was “mirroring” his wife’s “tactile” actions at the outing.

“We can see Meghan in particular in two body language modes and functions here: firstly what would be termed ‘getting stuck in,’ physically helping out with food distribution and doing so in a way that seems to have rendered herself incognito,” she told the outlet.

“The ‘head-down’ body language from Meghan here looks practical rather than performative, implying that the job of distribution is better achieved without a media scrum or being made to stop and talk.”

Prior to the couple’s visit to meet with victims, the pair opened the doors to their sprawling $29 million Montecito, Calif., mansion to friends who have been forced to evacuate their homes.

Sources also told The Post that the Sussexes are committed to further supporting recovery and rebuilding efforts, and have already planned additional visits to the community.
