Prince Harry, too, has been on several solo engagements in recent days, including his visit to New York, London and Lesotho. As per reports, the two are going through a "professional separation” – focusing mostly on individual endeavours instead of joint appearances.

Over the weekend, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out in a scarlet Carolina Herrera gown while showing her support for LA Children's Hospital at a gala. Kelly McKee Zajfen, the co-founder of Alliance of Moms, joined her on the red carpet.

‘Meghan performed signals of coyness and even shyness’

Judi James, a body language expert, told GB News, "For a confident woman who is used to cameras and red carpets, she acted grateful to see and join her friend. The body language ritual that she followed seemed to be a deliberate signalling of her current state, as Harry is off on his solo tour. Meghan performed signals of coyness and even shyness, plus a subliminal desire to have someone take over the lead from Harry.”

"It was as though she was somehow lost without him on the red carpet or wanted to suggest she is feeling more vulnerable and girlishly playful than usual,” James added.

Meghan was reportedly caught on camera twiddling her fingers nervously while walking along the red carpet. Photographers were heard shouting her name. She approached the end, visibly ready to move on, when a woman wearing a black outfit directed her towards Zajfen. One photographer could be heard asking, "Ladies, can we start you at the beginning please?"

Meghan was spotted holding her friend’s hand. As per reports, it appeared as though she wished to step away from the cameras as soon as possible.
