Meghan Markle is determined to stay with Prince Harry for the long run as she sends a 'subtle' warning to Harry's family that she "is not going anywhere", a body language expert has claimed. The Duchess of Sussex posted a new video showing how she celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary with Harry.

Filmed from her family home in Montecito, California, Harry can be seen carrying an elderflower cake and singing "happy anniversary to mama and papa". In another clip, Meghan can be seen blowing out the candles and giving her husband a kiss before the couple says "I love you" to each other.

Now body language expert Judi James has spoken exclusively to Express.co.uk, recalling how Meghan said "That man loves me so much," during her podcast appearance with Jamie Kern Lima. She cross-referenced it to the latest video, explaining: "These clips appear aimed at proving that, along with how much her children love her too. By keeping mainly behind the camera, here she appears to be filming or recording Harry's adoring homage to her.

"We see Harry presenting a cake to her, looking excited and exceptionally keen to please as he does so. It appears to be primarily a 'surprise' present to her, and we also see another 'surprise' present when she is given the penguin ornament. There are drawings from the children and notes to her, and she is barely visible as the recipient of all these tokens of adoration," she said.

"She shows the camera the penguin reference in terms of it being symbolic of staying together for life, and she also shows off the photo of the couple dressed as penguins to prove the provenance of the gesture in terms of their memories as a couple. Harry even seems to have printed that photo together in fancy dress as a reminder."

In the video, Meghan explained to her children that when they got engaged, they hosted a party with 'all of their friends' in onesies and they went as penguins. She then showed the photo print-out to the camer and said: "We were penguins because we're together for life."

She also uploaded 24 never-before-seen photos of their wedding on Instagram, including moments at their after-party, Harry looking at her bouquet, and Elton John performing.

She also marked the day on the Instagram page of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, by sharing a new photograph from their special day, taken from above and advertising the 519 candle, which is inspired by the wedding.
