Meghan Markle ‘emulated’ the Queen in 2021 TV return: Body language expert

Meghan Markle gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and soon returned to US TV with Global Citizen Vax Live: A Concert to Reunite the World, during which she ‘emulated’ the Queen according to a body language expert.

The Duchess of Sussex’s appearance on the Global Citizen Vax Live concert marked her first televised appearance since the explosive Oprah interview and was analysed by body language expert Judi James.

Talking to The Mirror, James said at the time: “Meghan’s body language at the start looked as serene and static as the large cushion beside her, but with a small self-comfort thumb-rub gesture to suggest some inner nerves, too.”

James continued that Meghan’s charisma seemed ‘maternal’, as the Duchess was pregnant with daughter Lilibet at the time.

She added: “The regal note appeared verbally too as she sat, upright and elegant, to refer to ‘My husband and I’ in the style of the Queen, but that cupping gesture that she had also used on Oprah, reminded us of her theme about daughters and woman of the future.”

As for Meghan’s appearance at the concert, the Duchess highlighted the impact of COVID-19 on women around the world and urged people to get the COVID vaccine.
