After six years of marriage, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's relationship is still rock-solid. But don't just take it from me—take it from the famed body language expert and human lie detector, Darren Stanton.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, Stanton opened up about his most recent observations of the royal couple, noting that their bond is now "stronger than ever." He told PureWow, "In recent events, Harry and Meghan have demonstrated that they have found a new closeness within their relationship.... They seemed to be on another level of feeling in sync and connected with one another."

He continued, "From kissing in public to rarely distancing themselves from each other, this tactile behavior proves they’re feeling stronger than ever about their connection and it continues to grow."

Staton also noted their love gestures at public events—like when they traveled to Colombia in August. During their visit, they showed plenty of PDA, from embracing to a shared kiss. Stanton continued, "We’ve seen Meghan observing Harry from the sidelines while he’s focused and concentrating—and she’s looked at Harry adoringly and displayed feelings of pride and comfort. It’s shown that Meghan is proud to be Harry’s wife and he continues to impress her five years after they got married."

He concluded, "The couple have gone from strength to strength over the years they’ve been together. The couple have been through so much in the public eye, and it is a testament to their strength and resilience, and just how strong a partnership they are—they are only continuing to grow in that respect."

Stanton's latest comments totally line up with his previous observations of the duke and duchess—like when they enjoyed their four-day getaway in Colombia. He mentioned that they "had lots of fun together," "looked into each other's eyes" and "let their barriers down" as if no one was watching.

Markle and Harry tied the knot on May 19, 2018 at St George's Chapel. They have since stepped away from their senior royal positions and welcomed two children—Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3—but they've kept busy with several engagements and lucrative projects, including their multi-million dollar Netflix deal.

A strong royal couple with a solid work ethic? I love to see it.
