According to a body language expert, Meghan Markle’s seemingly “amused” reaction to an incident involving Princess Charlotte during her tenure as a working Royal may not have been as it seemed.
The Duchess of Sussex joined the Royal Family in 2018, but scrutiny of her actions began much earlier, when her engagement to Prince Harry was announced in 2017.
After their wedding, Royal observers dissected her demeanor during Royal events to assess her suitability for the Royal Family. One such event was the Trooping the Colour in 2018.
Meghan stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony with other members of the Royal Family, including the Wales family and their children.
Video footage from the event showed Princess Charlotte appearing to stumble before being picked up by Kate Middleton, while Meghan seemed to laugh in the background.
The rumors around the bridesmaid-based wedding spat with Kate might have fueled these claims but a closer analysis of the body language here suggests the moment might not be quite what it seems.
“Firstly, there is the perspective to take into consideration. Meghan is busy chatting to Camilla, meaning she might not even have had a clear view of what happened.
“Meghan and Harry had been laughing and chatting prior to the fall, so in many ways, Meghan is just politely carrying on with the mood of the conversation here.
“She seems to be taking her conversational leads from Camilla and Harry and, if anything, it’s Harry putting his hand to his face as though masking a laugh or making an aside-style comment here.”
She further stated: “And then there is a fair point to be made about anyone in the proximity when a child cries.
“Smiling is usually a common and thoughtful reaction that can be used to show empathy and care rather than irritation at the noise.”
