Body language expert comments on Meghan and Kate’s latest appearance

Cathy Donohue

This body language expert has an interesting opinion.

If you keep up with the royal family and their comings and goings, you’ll know that they attended Christmas Day mass in Norfolk and were pictured chatting to well-wishers at the church.

All eyes were on Meghan and Kate as there have been rumours of a feud between the pair for quite some time.

They appeared to be getting on very well, Meghan placing a hand on Kate’s back as they walked along, smiling at each other and those waiting to greet them.

However, one body language expert believes there was a lot going on behind the scenes.

Judi James said that Kate usually displays a “perfect smile” but on this occasion, she almost looked amused as if it’s a bit of joke that she and Meghan had to “perform this friendship routine”.

Chatting to The Daily Mail, Judi also mentioned that their gestures and movements remind her of “political body language”.

Yikes.

In conversation with the publication, Judi, a well-known body language expert, explained that politicians often employ similar body language.

“The kind of thing politicians do when they’re walking with other heads of state and want to show some signs of rapport or unity”.

Judi said that it all came across as rehearsed and that they were trying too hard. Interestingly, she also picked up on some awkwardness between Prince William and Prince Harry, commenting that their “fixed grins” were a world away from the usual easy camaraderie they have together.

There have been rumours of a feud between the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex for quite some time now but it is important to stress that this is all mere speculation.
