Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship roles have reversed as duke becomes ‘more dominant and powerful’

Since the beginning of their relationship, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced constant rumors and critiques about the dynamic between them, with many speculating that Meghan is the one “wearing the pants” and controlling Harry. This narrative has been fueled by body language experts and royal commentators who have painted Meghan as the dominant partner in the relationship. However, 2024 has brought significant changes that seem to be shifting this narrative.

Earlier this year, the Sussexes embraced a “professional separation,” opting to focus on their individual endeavors rather than being constantly attached at the hip. This move sparked speculation that their marriage might be facing challenges, but it seems to have benefited them both. Harry has been seen traveling solo on multiple occasions, including a brief visit to the U.K., while Meghan has been spotted on her own in the U.S. This newfound space has allowed Harry to take a more active role in the relationship, with many noting a shift in dynamics.

This shift became apparent after the release of their latest Netflix project, POLO. Despite controversy surrounding the sport’s ties to animal cruelty and the documentary’s somewhat lackluster reception, it has been observed that Harry now appears more confident and in control. Body language expert Darren Stanton pointed out that Harry seems to be taking the lead, a stark contrast to the earlier perception of Meghan as the dominant partner. Stanton noted that Harry’s posture and actions in recent appearances suggest a newfound sense of leadership.

Meghan, however, hasn’t been pushed into the background. Another body language expert, Judi James, observed that when the couple does appear together, Meghan continues to exude strength and independence, dispelling the notion that she is simply a passive figure in their relationship.

While Harry and Meghan’s journey together has had its share of ups and downs, particularly since their move away from the U.K. four years ago, this more independent approach seems to be working for them. The shift in their relationship dynamic could not come at a more crucial time, as Harry is expected to face numerous legal challenges in the upcoming year.
