Meghan Markle felt a bit guilty about her secret ski trip, especially after Prince Harry’s recent loss in the High Court, a body language expert has claimed
Judi James suggested that Meghan didn’t want to seem like she was having “too much fun” on her girls’ ski trip without Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex went on a snowy holiday with two wealthy friends at Powder Mountain near Salt Lake City in Utah. Her pals, Kelly McKee Zajfen and Heather Dorak shared photos with Meghan on Instagram, describing the trip as “perfect”.
They were joined by their families and children. It’s not clear if Meghan brought her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, along.
However, Harry was noticeably absent from all the photos, hinting that Meghan might have gone skiing alone.
Body language expert Judi James analysed one of the photos shared on social media. She told The Mirror that Meghan seems quite “camera shy” in the picture.
Ms James claimed that Meghan wasn’t too eager to show off her ski trip, despite the beautiful Utah scenery.
“Meghan’s pose here suggests she might not have been too keen to flaunt her trip to the slopes. While one friend tilts her head and grins straight into the camera and the other clutches her ski poles ready to hit the slopes,” Ms James explained.
She added: “Meghan stands prop-less with her arms at her sides and instead of dominating the pose and working the camera as usual she’s just standing turned in towards her friend and staring rather awkwardly at her.”
“This is not the usual way to perform Insta-posing, which usually entails an entire group throwing mirrored grins straight at the camera so the suggestion here is that Meghan might not have wanted to look as though she was having too much fun away from her husband.”
The Duke and Duchess are reportedly laying low after the Duke failed in his case against the UK Home Office – a case concerning his security downgrade after stepping down as a “working royal”.
Duke Harry expressed worries for his, his wife’s, and his two children’s safety.
In December, when he challenged this decision, officials from the Home Office informed the High Court that Prince Harry would maintain public police security but these would be “bespoke arrangements, specifically tailored to him” rather than the automatic protection offered to full-time working royals. The Duke shared that he has plans to contest this ruling.
