Meghan Markle’s recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show was meant to be another carefully orchestrated PR moment, but instead, it took an unexpectedly awkward turn. The interview, recorded on March 4th, quickly shifted from promoting her latest vanity project to yet another attempt to sell the fairy tale romance she insists the world believes in.
Drew Barrymore, in her usual enthusiastic and slightly over-the-top manner, showered Meghan with praise. Gushing about the couple’s undeniable chemistry, she remarked, “Every time I talk to someone who knows you both, they always mention how hot this is. Everyone says it, and these are people from all walks of life.” Barrymore’s setup was perfect for Markle’s next big performance.
Meghan, ever the expert in faux humility, hesitated dramatically, milking the moment before responding. What would she say next? Cue the exaggerated hand-to-face gesture. Barrymore continued, “They go, ‘They’re so hot for each other.’” Meghan, right on cue, threw her head back in a laugh—one that felt about as authentic as her former British accent.
Of course, Meghan wasn’t about to waste this golden PR opportunity. She launched into a well-rehearsed monologue about how lucky she is to have found her beloved Harry. “He’s funny, he’s kind, he’s charming,” she gushed. So charming, in fact, that oddly enough, no one else besides Meghan ever seems to describe him that way.
But here’s where things got interesting. According to body language expert Judi James, Barrymore’s reaction wasn’t quite what one would expect. At first, Drew seemed captivated, her arms crossed in what James describes as a self-hug—a possible sign of admiration or, more likely, secondhand embarrassment. Then, as Meghan’s speech dragged on, Barrymore’s expression shifted, her smile fading into a blank stare. Was she realizing, in real-time, that she was caught in another one of Meghan’s carefully manufactured PR moments?
Then came the telltale sign—Meghan’s infamous tongue jut. Just as she dramatically declared, “I did not expect to meet H,” there it was: the signature tongue poke. Body language experts often point to this as an indicator of deception. The question remains—does anyone actually buy into the fairy tale Meghan keeps peddling?
Each time she appears on a talk show, she raises the stakes with a new exaggerated claim—whether about her undying love for Harry, her struggles, or her ongoing plea for privacy. But this time, the cracks in her narrative were apparent even before she stepped onto the stage.
Drew Barrymore, Hollywood royalty in her own right, wasn’t entirely convinced. Unlike Meghan, Drew doesn’t need to constantly remind the world of her success—her decades-long career speaks for itself. If anything, Barrymore’s look of admiration seemed less about Meghan’s love story and more about her ability to tell it with such conviction.
And then came the moment that changed everything—when Drew brought up Princess Diana. Meghan’s entire demeanor shifted. Her face tightened, her smile wavered, and the giddy newlywed act momentarily disappeared. Was it because someone dared to mention the one royal figure who will forever outshine her?
At the end of the day, Meghan Markle’s appearance on *The Drew Barrymore Show* will be remembered as yet another transparent attempt to stay relevant. The only thing more entertaining than Meghan’s performance was watching Drew slowly realize she was witnessing a masterclass in overacting. One can only imagine what was running through Drew’s mind—*Is this woman for real?*
