Prince Harry appears to have been seeking the "approval" from his wife Meghan Markle whilst appearing for the Invictus Games countdown in Canada.
The couple, who wed in 2018, have been in Canada for three days as they mark a year to go until the 2025 Invictus Games. The three day event culminated in a One Year To Go Dinner which saw a lavish banquet and performances from Canadian singer Michael Bublé which all appear to have gone down well, but for the Duke of Sussex it appears the only reaction he's interested in is from his wife Meghan.
A body language expert has noted that Harry appeared to be seeking "approval" from his wife, and appeared "much more upbeat" after the former Suits actress gave her spouse a "raised-brow glance of approval" after Bublé called him a "visionary".

Prince Harry appeared "thrilled and slightly overawed" after singer Michael Bublé changed the lyrics to 'My Way' to reflect the Invictus Games (AP)Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, body language expert Judi James said: "Harry and Meghan appear to have topped their Invictus promo off with a glamorous, celebrity-style appearance that included some emphatic signals of pride and endorsement from Meghan to her husband while Harry looked thrilled and slightly overawed to hear Michael Bublé dedicate the line ‘I did it my way’ to him."
The Duke and Duchess were pictured together prior to entering the banquet dinner, with seemingly contrasting expressions. Judi explained: "Caught en route it did look as though Harry was in a more pensive mood while Meghan threw a beaming, cheek-rounded smile beside him but with Bublé’s public endorsement and Meghan’s raised-brow glance of approval at him that seemed to say ‘you did it!’, Harry looked animated during his speech and much more upbeat trading comments with Bublé."
As part of the performance at the banquet dinner, Canadian crooner Michael Bublé told the audience how happy he was to be able to "show Harry and Meghan how beautiful this place is". The singer also changed the lyrics to the classic song 'My Way' to adapt them for the Invictus Games as he sang: "Nothing tames, Invictus Games, you play them your way', 'One man, life-changing plan, he does all he can, he’s a visionary".

Whilst the three-day trip to Vancouver to mark the countdown to the 2025 games has gone well, it's not been without difficulty for the Duke. After he gave a bombshell interview to Good Morning America, he's been hit with further backlash as royal insiders have slammed the comments he made about his father's cancer diagnosis and his rush trip back to the UK to see King Charles. In one interview answer he hinted at a possible reconciliation with his family in future as he explained, "I think any illness, any sickness brings families together."
Slamming the interview and the comments made by Harry, a royal source told The Daily Beast: "It seems Harry has taken it on himself to use the diagnosis to publicise his own agenda. If it wasn’t so sickening it would be funny. What really would have helped the family come together would have been if Harry had said he wouldn’t be taking questions about his father."
