MEG-A IN LOVE

Walking in sync, smiles that reach their eyes and holding hands – the signs that show Meghan and Harry ARE for real

Judging by the couple's body language, they're more in love than ever

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have been married for five months now, and it seems they're still basking in newlywed bliss.

When the couple headed to Sussex for a royal engagement earlier this week, their body language showed just how in love they are. These were the signs that gave it away...

Mimicked movements

As the couple met waiting crowds, they found themselves walking in step with each other.

Body language expert Traci Brown explains to  that our bodies often mimic someone else's when we're in love with them.

She says: "We are hardwired to copy people.

"See how they're doing exactly the same thing? Totally in step with each other and waving the same way?

"That's what couples do when they're energetically in sync and very connected. And it happens naturally."

Smiles that reach their eyes

There was no hiding Meghan and Harry's wide grins throughout their engagement, with Meghan, 37, stealing some adorable smiling glances at her 34-year-old husband.

According to Traci, your eyes reflect when you're genuinely happy around someone.

"Both of them are showing real smiles," she says.

On Meghan gazing at Harry while so close to him, she adds: "That's hard to do if you're not very intimate with that person."

Comforting gestures

There was something very meaningful about the way Harry tenderly placed his hand on his wife's back.

As Traci explains: "Harry has his hand on her back which is probably both to guide her a bit and a comforting gesture.

"A hand on the back lets you feel that someone is there, supporting you and guiding you along the way.

"It's quite comforting for most folks."

Holding hands

Walking in sync? Check. Big grins? Check. But there's something else about the above image that gives away Meghan and Harry's feelings.

Traci says it's "telling" that their fingers are intertwined.

She points out: "When's the last time you've seen a royal do that? Certainly not Will and Kate. It's a very telling PDA."

And just when we thought we couldn't love #Heghan more...

Here's where you can get the teardrop necklace Meghan Markle wore in Sussex (but be warned – it isn’t cheap).

This is how Meghan's first overseas tour will be very different to any other royal trip.

And see the sweet moment Prince Harry broke protocol to KISS a surprised female fan's hand.
