Body language expert reveals the hidden messages in Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview

MEGHAN Markle revealed that she had “suicidal thoughts” as she broke down in tears during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Duchess of Sussex revealed that after confessing her feelings to Prince Harry she forced herself to go to an event with him – because she felt she couldn’t be left alone, for fear of what she might do.

She said while the lights were down during the Cirque du Soleil premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in January 2019, she was "weeping" while clutching Harry's hand until his knuckles were white.

And now body language expert Judi James has revealed how photographs from that night reveal how the “protective” prince struggled to hide his feelings.

Speaking to Fabulous Digital, she said: “It was heart-breaking to hear how desperately sad Meghan really was when she appeared with Harry at the Royal Albert Hall and how she had to fake her smiles to mask bouts of tears when the lights went down.

“Her skills as an actress must have seen her through the displays of smiling confidence although given her narrative of the attitudes to news of her baby, that signature gentle and loving cradling of the baby bump could also be seen as something more protective.

Very long comments from me regarding to the disgraceful interview :
Ms Markle lied she didn't know anything about the royal family: she knew, she used to have a blog where she wrote about Prince William and Kate's wedding, she was pictured in front of the Buckingham Palace at age 15, her idol was Diana, she wore Harry’s mom favourite’s perfume in their first date and she knew Princess Eugenie before met with Harry

She said her son is not a prince due to his race: It is because of King George V's law, as Archie is the great grandson of the monarch and not direct line of throne, he didn't get prince title. He will, when Charles will be King as Archie is his grandson (though after his parents moved to different country, stepped back from royal duties, threw trash to the royals, lived in the UK for only 7 months, I don't think so he will ever get any title). Also needs to mention, Meghan was very welcomed in the family and she got title.. furthermore Archie is the copy of his father except his eyes - even his skin colour.

She didn't want to show curtsy to the Queen as she's Harry's grandmother. Everyone knows, you have to curtsy to the Queen, disrespectful not do it.

She said they got married 3 days before their wedding: the Archbishop of Canterbury denied it, their marriage certificate says they married on 19th May, the day what we saw on the TV, also in the UK you need to have 2 witnesses - she said it was just 3 of them with a bishop - so a big lie again.

Their skin colour recollections also changing throughout the interview, first she said there were several conversations regarding Archie's skin colour when she was pregnant, then changed it, it was a private conversation between Harry and one of the member of the family. Harry changed it, saying, it was only one conversation and not when Meghan was pregnant, but in the beginning of their relationship. I didn't hear that conversation, but I can imagine it was a misunderstanding.. As they didn't reveal the name, they will call all the family racist... the only family member ever had racist scandal is Harry himself with his Nazi uniform, when he was young. Maybe Meghan should talk with her dear husband first.

Harry was complaining about his father, saying he didn't give him any money - though they posted a statement on instagram - still available -, they say they want financial independence. At the age 40, when you decide you don't do any royal duties (so don't do any service or work for money) and move to a different country, also proudly say you want to be financially independent, how can you blame your father not to pay anything to you? They wanted that. Other people pays for their bills at age 18.

She also claims her media bullying was worst than Kate's. After Prince William and Kate's relationship was revealed in 2004, paparazzis harassed her, bullied her, didn't leave her alone. She had a quiet life beforehand as she was not a celebrity. It could be very hard 7 years for her - though never complained. (Many unrespectful articles appeared after that too, but now she is more protected). Meghan in the other hand was a celebrity, ex-actress. I believe was hard for her too, but no one can convenience me it was harder 1.5 year for her as a celebrity, than 7 years for Kate as a non-celebrity. She keep compares herself to Kate, total jealous of her, cannot accept that Kate will be Queen one day but she will always remains Duchess.

They also mentioned his mom: his mom's and Meghan's situation is very different.

Diana had a very private, quiet life at her early years. At age 19 her engagement with Prince Charles announced, at age 20 they got married. No one explained to her anything, she didn't got any support or love from her husband. A year later, she became a mom, a future King's mom. So in less then 2 years at age 21, she had to be wife, mother, Princess of Wales, with royal duties and responsibilities, also a pressure as a mom of the future King and as a future Queen. Her marriage with Charles was by duty not by love. She knew her husband cheated her with Camilla for years. She was shy and humble, not searching for attention at all, she was the Princess of the People - oh, yes, and always told the truth.

Meghan got married with Harry at almost 40, mature, independent, knows-what-she-wants, already divorced woman. At the age she married with Harry, Diana was already dead. She was the oldest royal bride (Camila is exception, cause it was Charles' second marriage, and it didn't hold in church). She knew what family she married into. She was a celebrity, she enjoys fame, limelight, attention. She likes when everything is about her, and when everyone gives her right. As Harry said: What Meghan wants, she gets - tells everything about their relationship. Even in this interview, Meghan was the leader. Harry said, Meghan was the one who told him he is trapped (how could he trapped? he was born into this family and he was fine for 35 years) and she saves him and she quickly interrupted and corrected her husband: he saved them.

But in the royal family you have to be humble, respectful, boastful people like Meghan doesn't fit in. She is very manipulative too. She turned against her family, and then she turned her husband against his family. Little Archie and baby sister will not have any family members except their parents and maternal grandma. No great grandma, grandpas, uncles, aunties, cousins.. no one, no family bonds.

Diana would be the saddest seeing how her younger son turned against his family. She said, she wants to see William as a King supported by his brother, Harry. She supported and respected her country and the Monarchy she would never left her country, in the interview she said the monarchy is her children's future. She had problems with Charles and Camilla, but she was always faithful to her nation. Also, she was sad when she was forced to divorce from Charles, she didn't want to break out from the royal family.

I used to really like Harry (after his youth scandals) and I really hope, at least now that his grandfather died, will realize, how important family is and finish this childlish behaviour, because he just embarrass himself. If he wants to protect Meghan he doesn't have to attack and betray his own family and hurt others.

Also was very disrespectful this interview at the time, Prince Philip was in the hospital in bad conditions with heart surgery - and they knew it but didn't care.

Abusers commonly take control of a relationship by cutting off the other person from their family.

A lot has been made of Meghan tearing up with Oprah. Let's not forget she's an actress. I've seen a video of her filmed at Soho House in Toronto in 2014 and someone off camera asked if she could make herself cry. She said "Oh I can do that SO well! Oh my God, it's crazy. They're like, Meghan, one tear, left eye, GO! Give me 3 seconds!". OK! She CAN make herself CRY. Meghan has been utterly obsessed with Diana since she was young and she has gone to great lengths to mimic her right down to her clothing. Diana wore a black and white outfit for her big tell all interview. So of course Meghan also wore a black and white outfit. And the heavy black eyeliner and pale lipstick is exactly like Diana's. And now she's speaking to Oprah about how SHE...just like Diana...was suicidal when she was several months pregnant...also JUST like Diana. Are we seeing a pattern here? Sorry, but I feel that what we saw on the Oprah interview was nothing more than a calculated performance to make the royal family look bad. It was Meghan's payback for ill perceived wrongs. Just my humble opinion.

[tinker]

That hand gesture looks more controlling to me, rather than reassuring.

[ericapalmoremoon]

I don’t think she looks confident, she looks uncomfortable, like she’s trying to hard.

[caterinadelgalles]

The smirking and duping smiles were not addressed.

[jackiewharton]

She will never be loved like Diana was, but she's trying very hard, bringing Diana's name up all the time, thinking people will like her .

[philmiller]

Harry needs to stay away from media and lead a private life and if he wants continue to do charitable work. His mental health through all this upheaval must be a heavy burden. He is going to burn out but markle knows how to control him without hi really an cop on to her

[fyfgt]

She breaks every relationship she touches. Her father's, her best friend's, now Harry's family. She is possessive and selfish.

[Totcali]

Harry looks uncomfortable, his own Family was attacked by Markle! Harry’s upbringing is finesse and lots of Love from his Family!

[Jehnniel]

I wish they learn to stop throwing people under the bus. Humanitarians don’t burn bridges they connect the broken bridges together and clearly both of them loves to roast and bash if people don’t cater for their needs!

[Madmen]

Harry is not as into this as she is.
I think there is calculation gone into this. I think M has watched Diane's story and is absorbing her persona or gestures at least.
I don't know why they are doing this?
It's not true that the senior Royals are not racist, for a number of reasons.

[aminthemar]

Yeah, let's analyze someone's behaviour who fakes her behaviour for a living.
We got a lot of free time here I see.

[jackiewharton]

She will never be loved as Diana was, but she keeps bringing Diana up and trying to be like her but failing good style x

[edwardneale]

Im half black so Im only half offended but I I I I I need MORE MORE MORE cos IM a Princess me me me me

[ashleechan]

Am I getting this wrong?? What does her being an actress have anything to do with her confident and natural poses??? And I'm seeing yall call her a liar because she's an actress. I've done acting and I don't lie! This is crazy. So much hate.

[danacomenta]

She is just sick! Every parent ever made us feel ashamed and made mistakes. Its not same as a boyfriend or a friend, its your family! He has not done any crime. He take care of her with all love when she was a baby and sacrifice. what kind of person "kills" her father with something like that?
She is divorce, toxic family, soon the beauty is gone... what else?

[RM-kfgd]

Playing the victim as always, not wanted here in the UK

[barbarajoanaquino]

You might forget she was an actress for sure it was easy for her to lie

Nobody, not a single soul:

Meghan Markle:🥺🥺
