Meghan Markle attracted massive reactions from fans as she recalled the moments of celebrating Christmas with Britons in the UK in her new special With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.
The Duchess of Sussex tried to explain that she keeps the royal tradition alive even in the US, while bringing plenty of holiday cheer for viewers to her special, but one of them really belongs to the royal family.
The royal family is known to use crackers at their Christmas lunch at Sandringham, with the late Queen Elizabeth reportedly loving the corny jokes inside.
Meghan said, “Living in the U.K., it’s just such a big part of [ the culture over there]. Typically, people cross their arms and do it. They sit around the table, and they all pull at the same time...It does feel really connected and sweet."
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the former actress's show and her comments, pointing out how the Duchess of Sussex's dominance rituals tend to be both shown, spoken, and implied as she "Meghan-ises the Holidays."
"When Meghan points her audience in the right direction for the spirit of Christmas, she does so with dramatic, emphatic body language displays to make her words meaningful and to show us how we might have been going wrong in the past," the expert explained, according to RadarOnline.
Judi tried to reveal the reason why she referenced the crackers, adding: 'She places a guru-like hand on her forehead here, bending her head to suggest the pain of those getting this wrong in the past and closing her eyes in a moment of meditation and self-respect."
Sharing her knowledge after carefully viewing Meghan's show, the expert continued: "The hand on her forehead is in a splicing gesture that she tends to normally use when she’s referring to how hard she works."
Prince Harry even makes a brief cameo towards the end of the hour, sharing a sweet kiss with his wife as he helps himself to some of the treats in their kitchen.
