Meghan Markle is now Prince Harry’s “protector.” The pair’s roles had reversed in their relationship, as reportedly seen in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.

Express UK said that the claims came from Judi James, who recently shared some body language analyses of the infamous interview to The Mirror. She asserted that the “tide has changed” in the former working royals’ relationship upon arrival in the United States.

The body language expert noted that this first became apparent when the Duchess of Sussex had a “subtle hand gesture” during the interview. She explained that this proved the Duke of Sussex’s role as “guide and protector is now over.”

James continued that Meghan Markle was “confident” while Prince Harry was not during the engagement with Oprah Winfrey earlier in 2021. The latter was “in need of support from his wife,” adding that he is “now more vulnerable,” leading the former actress to become his “rescuer.”

She recalled that the Duke of Sussex “very much saw himself” as an “overly protective husband” during their time in the United Kingdom. But now, the Duchess of Sussex “seems to have taken a much more vulnerable [Prince] Harry” back to her home country.

The 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey has stirred controversies among the members of the British Royal Family. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared several revelations, as well as allegations toward some senior working royals.

The former working members of the Royal Firm unveiled that they felt trapped, with the former actress admitting to having suicidal thoughts, according to CNN. She, also, corrected that it was her who cried because of Kate Middleton and not the other way around.

On top of all the other claims, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stated that there were “concerns” about their first-born son’s skin color. The latter alleged that an unnamed royal asked how dark their child’s skin tone would be while she was pregnant.

The reception toward the interview appeared to be mixed. While Meghan Markle and Prince Harry received praises for breaking their silence, they, also, obtained criticisms and waves of backlash.

A royal expert even recently quipped that the interview deserves an Oscar of its own, according to The International News. Richard Eden told followers on Twitter that the Duchess of Sussex deserves an award for her “Oprah performance.”

Rebel Wilson, who recently hosted the BAFTAs 2022, shared a similar joke at the ceremony. Amid the awarding for the “Best Picture” category, she reportedly said that, “from drama to fantasy,” the Sussex couple’s interview with Oprah “had it all.”

Unfortunately, though, “that is not nominated in this category, but some incredible films are.”
