KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle look like equals in their family's Christmas card
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's body language was analyzed by an expert
  • The Sussexes are still being accused of photoshopping their e-card

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently released their e-card for the holidays.

The monochrome snap shows their son, Archie, taking center stage. Behind the 7-month-old are Prince Harry and Markle who are sitting on the floor.

Markle and Prince Harry are doting on their adorable baby as he tries to crawl closer to the camera. Following the release of the Christmas card, body language Judi James discussed what the couple’s mirrored poses really mean.

While speaking with Mirror, James said that Markle and Prince Harry sitting on the floor reveal their tight affection for each other.

“And the way their eyes are on their son rather than looking straight into the camera makes them still appear rather lost in their own trio of love here,” she said.

James also compared the Sussexes’ Christmas card from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s card. She said that the Sussexes appear to be equals, while Prince William is seen as the center of the family in their snap.

The body language expert was talking about the first Christmas card of Prince William, Middleton, and their kids that were leaked online a few days before Christmas. The photo shows the Duke of Cambridge riding a motorcycle while cradling Prince Louis.

Standing beside him on opposite ends are Middleton and Princess Charlotte. Prince George is sitting beside his father.

Days later, the Cambridges released a second Christmas card that features Prince William and his three kids but without the Duchess of Cambridge. In the snap, Prince William is kissing Prince Louis.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Markle were accused of photoshopping their first Christmas card as a family of three. On Twitter, some netizens claimed that Prince Harry and Markle weren’t together when they posed for the photograph.

“I think the baby and the two adults took the picture at different places. Photo 1 Harry and Meghan, photo 2 baby Archie. That’s why the color is black and white. To make the photoshop a bit easier. Who the hell puts Christmas card in black and white color? Xmas should be festive!” Twitter user @MerrysaHe said.
