Meghan Markle never let any ‘royal disagreement’ slide
Meghan Markle always took fights seriously.
An analyst claims that Meghan Markle took her husband Prince Harry and his brother Prince William's arguments "seriously" from the beginning.
The brothers briefly reunited during the King's Coronation earlier this month, according to reports from April that said Harry and William had not spoken since the publication of Harry's book Spare.
However, it appears that the brothers' arguments predated the publication of Spare.
Meghan may be seen sitting with the two brothers and William's bride Kate Middleton in an old video of the former "fab four" discussing the Royal Foundation at the Make a Difference Together event in London in 2018, and it has since been discovered that a royal rift was developing.
Meghan, who was attending the event as the Royal Foundation's first representative, is believed to have "sensed something serious" due to her highly revealing body language.
According to body language specialist Judi James, Meghan "might have seen any disagreements between the brothers as something serious," which is possible to explain why she covered her face throughout the public appearance.
Referring to the video that depicts the Fab Four present at the occasion while seated on a stage, Judi tells Mirror US: "This telling footage has many comparisons to the footage of Charles and Diana’s engagement interview, with both showing powerful body language signs of future conflict and relationship splits.”
"With Charles it was the terrible ‘Whatever in love means’ that threw an ice bucket over their marriage before the wedding had even taken place.”
She adds, "With this launch of the ‘fab four’ it’s the moment when the two couples are asked about any disagreements and the spontaneous outbreak of embarrassed body language suggests there are already clashes and conflicts behind the calm smiles."
She then elaborates how Meghan had entered the "already-bonded family and working group at a high-status level", supporting her entrance into the then group as "a new CEO come to take a seat in the boardroom".
"But her pace and energy are not shown as a good fit," Judi added, explaining further: "When William and Kate speak their delivery is very traditionally regal: slow-paced, low-energy, modest references to respected ‘experts’ and careful and cautious rather than rushed or hurried.
"Harry’s body language is already suggesting a problem. While Meghan sits listening politely, smiling encouragement at the Cambridges and barely moving (as an actress she would understand the rules about not upstaging).
"Harry looks in the depths of a sulk. His hands are clasped in a fig-leaf pose and he looks glumly down at his lap rather than performing any active listening and agreement signals."
Then Judi continues, "Meghan goes off like a rocket of confidence, passion, impatience to make change, and extensive experience" when the interview is focused on her.
Meghan's speed is "rapid and the way she uses expressive hand gestures shows high energy levels," the author observes, whereas William and Kate's pace and tone are complementary.
"She takes the conversation up to a ‘global’ level with her brought experience, talking about her work with CEOs around the world.
"Her thumbs are curled back in the ‘cocked’ position, suggesting confidence and enthusiasm. But there are also a whole volley of cues concerning hair-touching that are, at the same time, suggesting self-awareness, coyness and even a desire to hide," Judi reveals.
She also mentions how Meghan constantly caressed her hair, with the situation becoming more uncomfortable when they were questioned about their differences.
"William, Kate and Harry pull faces but they keep their faces revealed to the camera," she says, revealing: "Meghan’s reaction is totally different as she drops her head dramatically, allowing her hair to hide her face.
"She also touches Harry’s arm in what looks like a polite restraining gesture and then repeats the cut-off ritual by covering her face with one hand."
