Just five months after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel, another royal said their vows at that very same venue.

Princess Eugenie married her longtime partner, Jack Brooksbank inside the chapel at Windsor Castle on Oct. 12, 2018. The wedding was a star-studded affair with many celebrity guests including Naomi Campbell, Demi Moore, Ellie Goulding, Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss, Liv Tyler, James Blunt, and Robbie Williams. Of course, several members of the royal family also attended that day and were seen conversing before the ceremony got underway.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Hickling shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet what several royals discussed before Princess Eugenie’s wedding.

She noted that Princess Kate was seated next to Prince Harry, and they were engaged in conversation. The duke told his sister-in-law, “I’m working on the campaigns. Technically, I am out of the country, and then I have 10 years to complete my campaigns.”

“You’re joking,” Kate responded, to which Harry replied, “I wish I was.”

Hickling also decoded that the Duke of Sussex spoke to Meghan about other attendees arriving, saying, “Everyone is here.” The duchess then replied, “I saw as we came, everyone was asking questions.”

The lip-reading pro also observed Prince William discussing a matter with his father, King Charles. The prince asked, “Have you noticed how they are talking? We need to determine their needs and what is right for us long-term.”

Another expert weighed in on the bride and groom’s actions that spoke louder than words that day.

He later moved into media and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” Stanton frequently offers his expert analysis on high-profile public figures such as the royals.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Stanton told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “With Eugenie and her husband Jack, there is symmetrical body language on their wedding day. It’s showing a fantastic close relationship. Some people demonstrate it more than others. They’re not afraid to show PDA in front of the church, and Jack comes across as a real gentleman when he opens the car door for her.”

Stanton continued, “As a couple, they’re similar to Zara and Mike Tindall. They’re always matching and mirroring each other in terms of posture. There is a lot of great eye contact as well, and you can see the crow’s feet on their faces as they smile.

“Generally, Jack and Eugenie are always showing closeness and solidarity with each other. You’ve got a power couple within the royal family. That is demonstrated by their symmetrical behaviour. She’s showing genuine smiles of happiness on her special day, and there are no social smiles. The whole face is engaged, and her facial muscles as well.”   

Showbiz Cheat Sheet acknowledges that conditions and cultures can impact body language and is sensitive to all backgrounds.
