James noticed a significant gesture by Meghan during an event at the Royal Foundation, where the Duchess seemed to indicate that she sensed something serious.
Comparing the footage to Charles and Diana's engagement interview, James noted that both instances displayed powerful body language cues indicating future conflicts and relationship fractures.
In the case of Charles and Diana, it was the infamous statement of "Whatever in love means" that cast a shadow over their marriage even before the wedding. Similarly, during the launch of the "fab four," when the two couples were asked about any disagreements, their spontaneous and embarrassed body language hinted at existing clashes and conflicts behind their seemingly calm smiles.
Judi further observed that Meghan appeared somewhat out of place during the event. While William and Kate spoke with a traditional regal demeanor—slow-paced, low-energy, and making modest references to respected experts—Harry's body language already suggested a problem.
Meghan, as an actress, adhered to the rules of not upstaging others, listening politely, smiling encouragingly at the Cambridges, and barely moving. On the other hand, Harry seemed deep in a sulk, clasping his hands in a fig-leaf pose and looking down glumly at his lap, exhibiting no active signs of listening or agreement.
Judi went on to discuss Meghan's confidence, describing her as a "rocket of confidence" with a strong passion and impatience for making change, driven by her extensive experiences. Meghan elevated the conversation to a global level, drawing on her work with CEOs worldwide.
Judi also noted that Meghan's curled-back thumbs indicated confidence and enthusiasm. However, she also observed a series of hair-touching cues that simultaneously suggested self-awareness, coyness, and a desire to hide.
