Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who remain in headlines for their relationship and public stunts, have sparked new debate with their latest outing amid King Charles and Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex put on “forced displays of affection” as they came together at an exhibition in Los Angeles, a royal expert has claimed.

Harry and Meghan appeared to be uncomfortable with each other as they were pictured visiting SoFi Stadium to attend an exhibition about Black art and history in the the city. The California-based couple, in pictures shared on Instagram, look happy at the event as they mingled with guests and were treated to a private exhibit tour.

However, royal author Tom Quinn has highlighted Harry’s pain in his own words amid his father and sister-in-law’s ongoing health woes, claiming he was not comfortable with Meghan. Harry seemed “uncomfortable”, while Meghan “looked as if she was still acting in Suits”. The expert claimed the “contrived” appearance could have been the result of unfounded rumors the couple were facing issues in their marriage.

However, some experts believe that Harry used to feel more relaxed in company of Princess Kate during their public outing before his marriage to Meghan. “It was fascinating to see how loved up the Sussexes were at the event. But there was a sense that some of this was rather forced – recent publicity has suggested Harry and Meghan’s relationship is under strain and this will have determined the couple to make a public demonstration of their love for each other and the strength of their marriage,” Tom told the Mirror.

“But to many their displays of affection looked contrived – many of us thought Meghan looked as if she was still acting in Suits! And Harry always looks really uncomfortable with public hugs!,” Tom added. The expert went on describing the moment in his own way, suggesting the couple will want to keep up their romantic displays as it’s become a big part of their brand.

“There will be panic at any suggestion that the relationship isn’t going really well. Their romance is a key part of their brand so whenever we see them now in public, they will make huge efforts to show they are still madly in love,” according to the expert. “Harry is in the most difficult position because he gave up being a working Royal for this romance, and if the romance fails, he has nothing else,” claimed the author

“Meghan knows how to use her acting skills to make a brand work. Harry hasn’t a clue. He only knows how to be a royal and he gave that up.” Harry and Meghan were recently hit with split rumors, but a representative for the couple quashed it with a statement to the outlet in February, saying: “We’ve heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple. They’re still here. This couple will not be broken.”
