Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton’s Body Language ‘Confirmed’ Rift In February, Says Expert

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have not responded to their alleged rift publicly, but an expert said that they may have subtly confirmed it as early as February.

Judi James, a body language expert, told The Sun that there have already been clues to the potential difficulties and issues the duchesses were experiencing when they stepped out as the Fab Four earlier this year. “The women’s reactions are strong here. Kate swings her chair away from Meghan to laugh directly at her husband. Meghan ‘hides’ from Kate by dropping her head so her hair masks her face from Kate while she laughs behind it,” she said.

In multiple occasions, Markle and Middleton turned away from each other while answering questions. Markle was seen looking at the floor with a bashful smile, while Middleton kept looking at Prince William for support. And James said that the two female royals weren’t the only ones that showed discomfort during the engagement.

“Asked a very direct question about disagreements even the normally masked Prince William gives a surprisingly direct ‘oh yes’ answer. He sits using some anxious finger fiddling while Harry, sitting splayed and slightly arrogant, throws him a very direct stare,” James said.

The Duke of Sussex tried to lighten up the mood by saying that majority of their conflicts are healthy, but he also said that their disagreements come so thick and fast. Prince William asked his brother if he thinks their issues are resolved, and he answered his own question by declaring, “We don’t know.”

Prince William and Prince Harry’s comments led the interviewer to say, “Well, you’re putting on a great show, if not.”

During the same discussion, Prince Harry also said that there are benefits to working with people who have contrasting ideas.

“I think it’s really good that we’ve got four different personalities, and we’ve all got the same passion to want to make a difference, but you know… different opinions. Working with family, of course, it has its challenges… But look, we’re stuck together for the rest of our lives,” he said.
