PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived in Germany for the next leg of their mini tour.
But according to a body language expert, the Duke of Sussex, 37, appeared “tense” and his confidence” had vanished as he posed next to his wife today.

The couple are attending a reception for an Invictus Games event, marking the one-year countdown to the Dusseldorf 2023 games and they met with fans beforehand.
Judi told Fabulous: “Prince Harry looks so awkward, tense and nervous in these poses that it’s hard to see where the playful, confident and fun-loving prince has vanished to.
“His body pose appears reticent and wary, making him appear ridiculously camera-shy.
“His free hand looks clenched rather than relaxed and the way Meghan smilingly clutches the other as she leans her torso in and slightly toward her husband here suggests she is offering silent support.”
Judi also claimed Harry’s eyes “darting from camera to camera” and his “compressed lips of the smile” makes it look like “effort rather than happiness.”
Members of the public clapped and raised their phones in their air to get pictures as the couple arrived.
The Sussexes signed a special guestbook known as the Golden Book, inside the Town Hall.
This follows Meghan appearing to shrug off last night’s criticism of her speech at the One Young World summit.
Some fans took issue with the Duchess of Sussex mentioning herself 54 times in her seven-minute speech.
Last night Meghan told the One Young World summit “it’s very nice to be back” [in the UK] before launching into a monologue about her time with the host charity.
It was Meghan’s first speaking engagement in the UK since Megxit in March 2020.
After the reception the couple will travel along the River Rhine by boat where Harry will deliver a speech at the Merkur Spiel-Arena.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to the UK for the WellChild Awards on Thursday, where Harry is due to give another speech.
The mini tour follows Meghan’s whirlwind interview with US magazine The Cut.
In the article, Meghan claims she was told exactly what to say and do while on engagements with Prince Harry, while in the Royal Family.
She said it would have been “really helpful” if an older royal had guided her like they do in the movies when an American marries a prince.
Meghan told magazine The Cut: “I was an actress. My entire job was ‘Tell me where to stand. Tell me what to say. Tell me how to say it. Tell me what to wear, and I’ll do it.’
“And I’ll show up early, and I’ll probably bake something for the crew.”
The former Suits star also lashed out at the royals for not granting her and Harry the “arrangement” they wanted even though they were not asking to “reinvent the wheel”.
The bombshell new interview also features a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Meghan and Harry’s family life with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
It reveals how the couple run their Archewell company sitting side-by-side in a shared office in their £11million Montecito home.
