HE-MAN HARRY HAS ‘FEMALE’ HANDS . . .

-

LOOK closely at the hands of both Prince Harry (pictured above with Meghan Markle) and the Queen (below) and you’ll see their index fingers are the same length as their ring fingers, just like Kate’s.

Although this is sometimes seen as a typical ‘female’ hand, many men have it, too.

Studies by Oxford University have shown people with matching index and ring finger lengths are more likely to be married and to stay faithful within a relationsh­ip than those with a shorter index finger, which is good news for Meghan, who also has a short ring finger (inset right).

Such people are less likely to excel at sport or be musically gifted. They do tend to be very organised, find multi-tasking a breeze and have great memories. Peace-loving and conflict-avoiding, they’re usually caring types. It’s no surprise to hear that the Queen has these traits, although perhaps they reveal more about Harry’s tender nature hidden under his cheeky exterior.

Norwegian research has found that those with matching ring and index fingers may have a propensity to depression and anxiety, which may be the result of their sensitivit­y and empathy.

Women with high levels of oestrogen in particular may suffer from headaches and allergies, such as eczema, asthma and hayfever.

Then again, one study also linked this characteri­stic to men being able to last longer in bed!

Scientist Dr David Goldmeier, said men with longer ring fingers tend to have been exposed to higher testostero­ne levels in the womb — and this could harm brain receptors that control ejaculatio­n. So the less testostero­ne exposure,

the more self-control a man may have.
