The Sussexes made headlines at the Time100 New York summit earlier this year after Meghan Markle said she was the 'happiest' she had ever been, just weeks after her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, was panned by critics.
At the time, the Daily Mail reported that Meghan took centre stage - leaving Prince Harry assuming the role of 'spare' once again.
A month after appearing at the summit to recognise the world's most influential people, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not named on the Time100 Philanthropy.
During the event, Meghan opened up about giving herself 'the space and the grace to make mistakes' and also revealed her son Prince Archie's first tooth is loose.
Upon their arrival earlier, Harry chaperoned his wife from their private car as she walked in - before also being around to greet her at the end of her stint on stage.
However, body language expert Judi James pointed out an 'awkward' dynamic between the pair.
She told the Daily Mail: 'This was a body language moment that appeared to define how Harry had swapped life as a royal "spare" for a life as a Montecito "spare", looking more like Meghan's security here than her high-status, regal husband.'
The body language expert said that as their car pulls up, Harry 'defines Meghan as the star' by sprinting around to reach his wife as she emerges.
Meghan wore a Ralph Lauren silk-linen blazer worth £1,970 and £1,785 wide-leg trousers, which she paired with £650 Manolo Blahnik suede heels.
She also wore more than £35,000 of jewellery, including a £7,050 Cartier bangle and a pair of Tabayer gold hoop earrings worth £6,950.
The mother-of-two also had Princess Diana's £21,400 gold Cartier Tank Francaise watch, inherited by Harry.
During the event, the Duchess revealed her Archie's first tooth is loose, just as his cousin Prince Louis was pictured with two missing front teeth.
Meghan said it had been an 'incredibly busy' time as she launched her Netflix show, new podcast and lifestyle brand As Ever - but being a mother gave her 'perspective'.
Asked how she stayed 'focused' while being a high-profile individual who is under 'scrutiny', the duchess said she does not go online.
James wrote: 'This is clearly Meghan's moment and instead of introducing him to the woman she has just hugged in greeting, she turns her back on Harry to walk into the venue'
'It's a difficult-looking moment for anyone, and Meghan doesn't seem to hang around to make it go more smoothly for Harry, who then gets ushered in behind her,' said the body language expert
'Harry is left faltering slightly, having to raise an arm to show he will follow Meghan, just as the greeter raises her to usher him along.

This comes as one Hollywood insider described the guest stars for Meghan's second instalment of her Netflix show as 'underwhelming' and 'just a bunch of random people she knows'.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail: 'The total absence of A-listers from Meghan's second cookery series,
as well as the first,
can only mean one thing,
a lack of pulling power which is embarrassing.'
This came as a contrast to Meghan's wedding,
where A-listers included Serena Williams and David Beckham.
Writing in her bestseller Palace Papers,
journalist Tina Brown explained that 'the celebrity guests were a portrait not of Meghan's intimate circle but of the friends she most wanted to recruit'.
But that mission to recruit stars failed,
and instead,
Meghan has been forced to rely upon her friends rather than major guest stars.
