Meghan Markle more popular than Kate Middleton: this little thing that makes all the difference
If Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle both take on a leading public role with great talent, the two young women have very different personalities. A body language specialist analyzed their attitude towards photographers and her conclusions are surprising.
Since the start of her love affair with Prince Harry two years ago, Meghan Markle has been the object of all attention. The slightest of his appearances are scrutinized, his clothing choices are analyzed. A phenomenon further amplified since the announcement of her pregnancy. If she accommodated with ease this new attention, she does not yet have the experience of Kate Middleton who has assumed a leading public role for almost 8 years. One might think Meghan less comfortable in front of the cameras, yet she is not. According to Judi James, body language expert and author "The Body Language Bible", it's quite the opposite. The specialist observed the attitude of the two young women in front of the photographers and noted significant differences: "Although Meghan is the same age as Kate, there is a virtual generational difference in their relationship to the lenses. Like many young women of the selfie generation, Meghan Markle has a habit of doing what is known as "camera contact", which suggests a desire to communicate openly and confidently. " Kate is more passive, rarely looking at the lens.
With her past as an actress, Meghan Markle would obviously have an additional advantage compared to Kate. The expert, however, has doubts on this subject: "The actors spend their time avoiding the cameras head-on. A television actor would behave more like Kate, out of habit, because during filming, the actor must not look at the lens. ". Would her habit of red carpets be enough to explain Meghan's exceptional ease with photographers? Yes, but not only. Judi James also evokes deeper differences between the two young women, pointing in particular to the "more introverted" personality of Kate: "She poses wonderfully, but she does not communicate regularly".
While Kate always wears the same smile, Meghan lets her emotions shine through. Which could explain why the future mother is so appreciated by the general public who can recognize themselves in her. With a setback that nevertheless points to the specialist, it could indeed be difficult for the wife of Prince Harry to hide the emotions in the event of a crisis. Difficult to find the happy medium!
