One body language expert analyzed the myriad of ways that Harry and Meghan hold each other’s hands in public and described what each variation stands for.

It’s no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan pack on the PDA, with their hand holding a go-to gesture. According to body language expert Inbaal Honigman: “Hand-holding between couples can signify many different facts about their romantic bond.”

She told Express, “It can be a gesture of love, of wanting to always touch the other person. It can be a show of reassurance, letting the other one know that you’re never far away. And it can be a sign of possessiveness, marking the partner as belonging to their mate.”

Furthermore she explained, “Harry and Meghan are rarely seen fully apart, their hands on or around one another. In contrast, William and Catherine are rarely ever spotted locking hands — they will be seen holding the hands of their children, or with their hands free to be able to shake the hands of well-wishers.”

What does this body language mean? The expert believes that hand holding is a show of trust and closeness. She even breaks down the different ways they clasp each other’s hands: “Meghan and Harry’s hand holding can roughly be divided into three distinct types: interlocking fingers, butterfly hand contact, and the clamshell.”

As for the self-explanatory ‘interlocking fingers’ grip, she describes this as a way of communicating closeness and intimacy: “This shows two people who are happiest when they are together and love feeling the other person as closely as possible.”

She added, “This is a powerful hold that reassures each partner that the other one has got their back. It’s a trusting, loving, passionate way of holding hands.”

What about the “butterfly” way of hand holding? That she describes as a method in which, “each of them rests one hand on the other one or holds one hand of the other, very gently, without pressing or bending any fingers. This is a very subtle and sensitive hand-holding, showing that the couple shares a lot of trust and feel no need nor desire to limit the other person.”

And then there is the, “ultimate hand-holding, the ‘clam shell.’” This entails holding the other’s hand in a clam shape.

And it is this gesture, according to the expert, that Meghan shows the world that Harry is hers, all hers.

The expert notes that the clasp is, “both dominant and submissive … and it shows the world that this man is hers! But it is also submissive because it leaves her no hands to carry out her own duties. She’s giving everything to him.”

The body language expert concludes, “They show us that they’re a united couple, the two of them against the world, and their bond is unbreakable.”
