Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Judi said: ‘Harry looked rather needy on this particular outing, clinging to Meghan’s hand until she had to lift it from the clasp to do so moving forward, then taking her hand in his other right hand far and here, he always seems to want to show her his affection because she is flattered and celebrated by their hosts.

Meghan and Harry met with the Olu of Warri, HRM Eberechukwu Oji, the Obi of Onitsha and the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi of Osun State, who presented Harry and Meghan with Aso Oke – a hand-woven fabric created by the Yoruba people – and the coral beads they wore. A clip shared on social media showed the king complimenting Meghan, with Harry then rubbing her arm and kissing her.

Judi said: “Meghan touches the host gratefully at this point, then turns to Harry, turning to face him again. He offers her some comfort and affection by rubbing her right arm, but he then appears to want to speed up to the PDA and kiss her on the side of her head.
