Prince Harry is reportedly considering reentering royal life and has refrained from making pointed comments in interviews. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle, seemingly unfazed, has grown increasingly vocal about what's on her mind. According to royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner, there may be a clear reason behind this shift. Pelham suggested that the Duke's more measured and gentle approach complemented the Duchess's commanding presence, creating a balance that allowed Markle to be more expressive and confidently take the lead.

In an interview with The Mirror, Turner revealed that Harry has 'toned down' from commenting about sensitive topics related to the royal family, while Markle has been slightly more outspoken. He said, "I think in reality, Meghan is a world leader. And I think if they just stopped attacking her all the time and just let her calm down, that she would rise to the top ranks." Turner believed that the Duke was actually attempting to strike an effective dynamic with his more extroverted wife. He added, "I think sometimes it's fine because where he is right now, I've noticed that Harry has toned down his remarks."

To argue his case, the former royal photographer pointed out Harry's alleged promise to King Charles during their September reunion to refrain from speaking negatively about his family. His reconciliation with his father has reportedly brought a sense of calm to the Sussex household. During his recent visit to the U.K., the Duke appeared cheerful and glowing, and since returning to the U.S., he has seemed noticeably more relaxed. This newfound ease has, it seems, encouraged Markle to be more outspoken at public appearances and on her Instagram. Turner further stressed that Harry is now focused on making things right with his family, carefully choosing his words in interviews.

According to Turner, the Duchess boasts a commanding presence, and she's accustomed to being bold and voicing her opinions on topics that really matter. He stated, "Harry does the same, but Harry has a slightly quieter personality." He further explained, "Anything that Harry says right now, it, what's going on in the back of his head is he doesn't want to mess up any opportunity to come back with Meghan and the children." With regards to a reunion between the Sussexes and the royal family, the expert suggested that they may be positively welcomed back into the royal fold sooner than expected. "I think there might be changes in the wind much quicker than we imagined right now."

Similarly, body language expert Judi James has claimed that Harry thrives confidently without Markle's commanding presence on stage. Reflecting on his body language without Markle, she told The Mirror, "Meghan is a formidably strong and confident speaker, and this could easily be intimidating for Harry, who must in the past have felt pressure to match her performances." The expert added, "It's always easier to get out on stage after another speaker's weak or stumbling performance, but that's never going to be an option for Harry when Meghan's in town." On a different note, with her upcoming cameo in Close Personal Friends and her reported goal of becoming a billionaire, Meg seems to have a clear idea of what direction she wants to go. But with Kate and King Charles encouraging Prince William to end the bad blood with his brother and Harry himself leaning hard towards a UK return, well, there are just a lot of outcomes to the whole affair.
