MEGHAN Markle is trying to tell the world “just look how in love we are” by packing on PDA with Prince Harry in Colombia, a body language expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex , 43, beamed as she watched a performance at the Delia Zapata National Centre for the Arts in Bogotá with her hubby on Thursday.

In one affectionate moment Meghan placed her head on Harry’s shoulder before he wrapped his arm around her and kissed his wife on the head.

And Judi James told The Sun Meghan’s “non-verbal rituals” were aimed at sending a message to the world.

She said: “Meghan’s non-verbal rituals yesterday look aimed at emphatically defining her love story with Harry as enduring, ongoing and possibly even stronger than before.

“Her ‘swooning with love’ ritual looks like a love story emoji from Meghan to make her point as clearly and dramatically as possible.

“Her hands fold gently over her heart as she leans her head onto her husband’s shoulder with a wide, loving mouth smile and a lowered eye gaze that suggests she is having a moment of affectionate reflection.

“It’s a ‘Look how much in love we are’ message to the world and Harry responds perfectly.

“Stuffing a manly hand into the pocket of his white jeans with just a ‘cocked’ thumb peeking out to signal pleasure, he produces a coy eye expression as though caught up in the emotional wave of the moment as he bends his head to kiss his wife on the head in a reciprocal gesture.

“The loving touches and tie-signs are constant here.”

Other photos showed the pair holding hands and putting on a very affectionate display in the South American nation.

The Sussexes appeared to be unable to keep their hands off each other as performers danced at the first day of engagements.

In another tender picture, the Duchess placed her hand on Prince Harry ‘s knee as she giggled with her husband.

Judi explained: “Meghan sits with her hand on Harry’s knee in a tactile bonding ritual or ownership and affection.

“Her eyes crinkle as she laughs in a ‘pinging’ gesture aimed at getting him to share the laugh.

“At one point Harry places his hand over Meghan’s in a reciprocal gesture and in another moment we can even see the result of all this non-verbal ‘stroking’ behaviour as he sits with his hands in a downward steeple in front of his pelvis in a gesture of virility.”

The pair also stared lovingly into one another’s eyes as they clapped away at the end of the performance.

Meghan wore a burgundy maxi dress designed by Johanna Ortiz, who has Colombian heritage, and worth $2,150.

Harry and Meghan were met in the capital Bogota on Thursday by Colombia ‘s vice-president Francia Marquez and her husband Rafael Yerney Pinillo.

They spent around half-an-hour at the vice-president’s residence, where they exchanged welcome gifts and were offered tea, coffee and traditional pandebono – Colombian cheese bread.

The Sussexes are being given a full security detail throughout their visit alongside Ms Marquez, who invited the couple to travel to Colombia for what has been dubbed a DIY royal tour.

Ms Marquez said she was inspired to ask Harry and Meghan to visit the country after being moved by their Netflix documentary.

“I saw the Netflix series about their life, their story and that moved me and motivated me to say that this is a woman who deserves to come to our country and tell her story and her exchange will undoubtedly be an empowerment to so many women in the world,” Ms Marquez said.

The Sussexes’ controversial six-part Netflix show, aired just three months after Queen Elizabeth II ‘s death, laid bare their troubled relationship with the royal family and the struggles which led to their decision to step back from the working monarchy.

MEGHAN IN LOVE

By Judi James

MEGHAN’S non-verbal rituals yesterday look aimed at emphatically defining her love story with Harry as enduring, ongoing and possibly even stronger than before.

There may have been some visual glitches over the past couple of years but these are all steam-ironed out here as she shows the world the depth of her passion for her man via some very unfiltered displays.

Her ‘swooning with love’ ritual looks like a love story emoji from Meghan to make her point as clearly and dramatically as possible.

Her hands fold gently over her heart as she leans her head onto her husband’s shoulder with a wide, loving mouth smile and a lowered eye gaze that suggests she is having a moment of affectionate reflection.

It’s a ‘Look how much in love we are’ message to the world and Harry responds perfectly.

Stuffing a manly hand into the pocket of his white jeans with just a ‘cocked’ thumb peeking out to signal pleasure, he produces a coy eye expression as though caught up in the emotional wave of the moment as he bends his head to kiss his wife on the head in a reciprocal gesture.

The loving touches and tie-signs are constant here.

In another pose Meghan gazes at Harry with a teasing smile that would form a conversational tie-sign and although his gaze remains pointed forward his narrowed eye-smile and the subtle pursing of his lips form a ‘message received and appreciated’ return signal that looks playful and intimate.

Meghan sits with her hand on Harry’s knee in a tactile bonding ritual or ownership and affection.

Her eyes crinkle as she laughs in a ‘pinging’ gesture aimed at getting him to share the laugh.

At one point Harry places his hand over Meghan’s in a reciprocal gesture and in another moment we can even see the result of all this non-verbal ‘stroking’ behaviour as he sits with his hands in a downward steeple in front of his pelvis in a gesture of virility.

Her stroking of his arm at one point looks like an elegantly theatrical gesture and as she looks at Harry here she raises her brows and offers a pursed smile of maternal-looking encouragement.

There is some intimate-looking whispering between the pair, with more face-gazing from Meghan and she appears to glow with pride as she hangs on his every word.

Ms Marquez described the Sussexes’ trip as a “very special visit” aimed at building bridges and joining forces against cyber-bullying and online digital violence and discrimination, as well as promoting women’s leadership in Colombia.

The Sussexes’ team has not confirmed how the trip is being funded, whether privately, through Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation, by the Colombian government or other means.

The quasi-royal tour, which has many similarities to the programme of an official royal overseas visit, is the Sussexes’ second this year, after their three-day visit to Nigeria at the invitation of the West African nation’s chief of defence staff.

Harper’s Bazaar magazine, covering the trip as the only words pool, said Ms Marquez shared her personal admiration for Harry’s late mother Diana, Princess of Wales.

Meghan and Ms Marquez were pictured embracing as they greeted each other warmly, with Ms Marquez clasping Harry’s hands in her own as they were introduced.

The Sussexes were colour co-ordinated style-wise, with the duchess in a navy halterneck top and trousers and Harry in a dark blue suit and light blue shirt.

During the sit-down chat, Ms Marquez said she shared the same ideals and goals as Harry and Meghan amid their campaign to make the digital world safer for children.

Harry and Meghan visited a local school, the Colegio Cultura Popular, on Thursday and joined a summit, in collaboration with their Archewell Foundation, about creating a healthier digital landscape.

They spoke to children in a session where the class talked about their favourite and least favourite parts of social media, technology and dealing with life on the internet.

Meghan said the group should aim to be “self-reliant and not tech-reliant” while Harry about asked the conversations they have with their families about managing social media and literacy.

PIERS MORGAN One word springs to mind when I think of deluded Meghan and Harry 'prancing around' on fake royal tour of Colombia

By Piers Morgan

My all-time favourite theatre review was about a play called: Why?

The critic wrote one word: “Exactly.”

I thought of this when I heard that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will embark on a four-day tour of Colombia this Thursday.

They’re going at the invitation of the country’s first black Vice President, Francia Marquez, who gushed that the renegade royal duo “have the exceptional opportunity to engage with elders, youth and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians . . . and illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation”.

Meghan and Harry aren’t real royals these days.

They don’t do any actual duties for the institution which conferred their titles on them — they just line their pockets with cash in America by constantly trashing their families, and the monarchy, in the media.

So, what gives them the right to prance around the world pretending to be proper  royals, on quasi- official visits?

There are so many things wrong about this.

First, the laughable hypocrisy of them going to one of the world’s most dangerous places — both the UK and US government websites warn travellers to Colombia about the elevated risk of terrorism, kidnapping, rape and robbery — after all of Harry’s whiny demands for taxpayer-funded royal security when he comes to the UK to “protect his family”.

Second, their decision to go and prop up a Colombian government that’s been bedevilled by scandal since coming to power.

President Gustavo Petro, a radical socialist who once fought in a rebel guerrilla group, has  seen his foreign minister suspended for alleged cor- ruption, his son Nicolas charged with pocketing cash from drug traffickers meant for his father’s presidential campaign, and his brother Juan accused of seeking payments from jailed drug dealers in exchange for judicial benefits from the government.

Petro’s also faced recent allegations that he cheated on his wife with a transgender TV host.

As for his Vice President, there’s been growing public anger over her hypocrisy at being Colombia’s minister for equality while simultaneously using luxury helicopters like taxis and spending millions on a new home where she now lives instead of her official residence.

Opposition politician Miguel Polo Polo posted on X: “Francia Marquez is the biggest fraud in our black community.

“She’s been in office for two years and has done nothing, only play the victim and travel around in helicopters.”

Sound familiar?

But what I’m most annoyed about is the Sussexes’ delusion that they can somehow operate as a rival royal family on the global stage, enjoying all the benefits from that regal status but without any need to fulfil their obligations to their King and country.

It’s completely unacceptable, and unsustainable, for estranged members of the Royal Family to conduct official trips like this.

The King should strip Meghan and Harry of their titles that they trade off so cynically, and instruct Palace officials to tell heads of foreign governments that they must stop issuing formal tour invitations of this nature to this greedy two-faced pair who want to have their royal cake and eat it.
