Meghan and Harry were spotted at the airport

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen at the San Antonio airport, presumably heading home after their trip to Texas.

While in the state, Harry cheered on his wife as she was a keynote speaker at SXSW on Friday. After the festival, the couple visited the home of school teacher Irma Garcia who was tragically killed in the Uvalde school shooting in 2022.

The Instagram page DeuxMoi posted the photo of Meghan and Harry at the airport as part of their "Sunday Sighted" series where every Sunday the page shares celebrity sightings from the past week. The photo was taken from the back as the couple walked through the airport.

She had a white jacket in her hand and an oversized white bag over her shoulder. The Duchess of Sussex had her hand resting on Harry's lower back, something that body language expert Judi James claims is a way to non-verbally communicate with her husband.

"Meghan has long been a fan of the steering hand touch, frequently placing a hand on Harry’s back in a gesture that can have several potential uses," Judi told The Mirror exclusively.

Meghan was 'guiding' Harry physically and emotionally

She continued: "It’s one of her favourite tie-signs or method of non-verbal communication with her husband and its use can vary from letting him know she’s there at a social event and keen to get into a conversation to offering a supportive and rewarding message of almost maternal affection to steering him about to make sure he gets from A to B."

Judi added that Meghan's loving gesture might be a dual one - showing direction literally and emotionally. "This touch at the airport doesn’t seem to come during any social moment when she might need to be offering the more meaningful messages so it looks like the steering variety," she said.

She added it's a "gesture of affection".
