Body language expert Dr Louise Mahler has claimed that Meghan Markle’s demeanour changed after her engagement to Prince Harry. In unearthed comments, Dr Mahler analysed key moments from the couple’s Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, on The Morning Show in Australia.
“She was a gorgeous young woman with great prospects, and she wrote beautifully, she did great things and then we see in the engagement photo, it changes.” she said.
Dr Mahler suggested that Meghan’s body language showed this change. “Her smile becomes teeth, her eyes are dead, her arms lock into her body and she began doing this weird gesture where she pushes her hair back which is useless, what a useless gesture.” she explained. “Who does that? She changed.”
The expert also observed that Meghan and Harry behave differently when they’re not together. She sees Harry as “a man completely besotted by her, madly in love”, while Meghan “plays that up” with “a lot of breathiness”.
When asked about the couple’s behaviour while apart, she observed: “Harry is somebody who obviously has low self-esteem, he talks constantly about being ginger, ‘I’m a ginger’ the whole time as though that’s a problem.”
She also noted his emotional vulnerability, saying, “And then he talks about his heartbreak and you hear to this day that his voice breaks”. She added that the prince was “affected dramatically by his mother’s death”.
Discussing Meghan’s behaviour, she said: “She constantly talks about freedom ‘I must be free, free, free’ or ‘Oh look there’s my favourite song about freedom’.”
The body language expert concluded: “She accentuates that freedom is her core value and he is a very heartbroken, sad man.”
The couple’s Netflix documentary included many personal photos and videos, but Dr Mahler claimed these were “very staged”. “They are not candid photos, they are staged photos. Everything they do is staged,” she exclaimed.
She also commented on an “awkward” moment in the documentary where Meghan attempted to recreate a curtsey, claiming it was “disrespectful” and one of the few times Harry appeared embarrassed by her. “The whole story about the curtsy was disrespectful. If you went to a different country with a different culture, say Japan, and they said you had to bow, you would not make fun of that bow,” she explained.
She also stated: “I think he was definitely embarrassed at that moment and this was one of the few moments he was embarrassed, and I think he should be embarrassed a lot more.”
