It’s a gesture that Prince Harry has previously done while meeting Melania Trump, and again while visiting the Belgian royal family. But what does it mean?
Do you remember when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out for the first time as an engaged couple for a photocall at Kensington Palace in November Prince Harry hid his hand inside his suit?
Many body language experts and fans of the royal family were quick to point out that the Prince kept his hand in his jacket. According to body language expert and How to Detect Lies, Fraud and Identity Theft? author Traci Brown, the hand movement could suggest that Harry is uncomfortable in certain situations, and is likely to be subconscious.

She added: “It’s really difficult not to want to protect yourself with multiple photographers following you everywhere you go! There’s no difference if he’s placing his hand inside or outside his jacket.”
