Meghan Markle turns shy and coy separated from Prince Harry

Meghan Markle’s recent public appearances have revealed a shift in her demeanor, marked by a newfound shyness and coyness, according to body language expert Judi James. The Duchess of Sussex’s behavior during her solo outings for the LA Children’s Hospital Charity has caught the attention of James, who believes Meghan’s body language and style choices are making deliberate statements.

During the event, where Meghan donned a striking red gown, James noted that her body language appeared to reflect a different side of her, especially with Prince Harry away. “With her husband off on a solo jaunt and all the current controversy swirling in the press, Meghan’s sudden appearance on the red carpet here seems to show some body language and styling choices that involve the kind of changes that might be making a few deliberate statements,” James shared in an interview with The Mirror.

One key observation was Meghan’s interaction with a friend on the red carpet, which James interpreted as a sign of her shyness. “When she spots her friend on the red carpet, she throws both hands out and joins her, clasping her hand to register friend-based bonding while also putting her hand underneath in the more passive position as though she is keen to let her friend take the lead,” she said.

Meghan’s body language during this moment appeared to suggest a protective barrier. “She even pulls her friend’s hand in front of her own torso to hold it like a protective barrier, in the kind of move you might see from a shy child,” James observed. “Her head tilts are all about being seen as likeable here, and her next move is to actually duck behind her friend to pose with her together, summoning the kind of ‘hiding’ coyness that also suggests a cute form of shyness.”

James also noted Meghan’s red-carpet pose, which was reminiscent of a more glamorous, film-star-like appearance. “The attention-grabbing red dress she wore with Harry has had its regal-looking train removed, leaving a sexy low-cut top and leg-flashing skirt. Meghan poses with her back arched in it, too, which makes better use of the plunging neckline,” James remarked.

Her overall look seemed more aligned with Hollywood than royalty, according to James. “Her hair is now loose and tousled in a sexier look than the severe bun she wore last time and overall the look is more film star than wife of a prince. She even performs the ‘over-the-shoulder’ flirty glance to the cameras with the one shoulder raised that is a red carpet staple for any aspiring star,” James concluded.

This shift in Meghan’s demeanor, style, and interactions may suggest a desire to emphasize her individual star power, even as Harry takes on more regal duties abroad.
