Duchess' Deft Diplomacy: Meghan's Body Language on Serena Williams
ROYAL ROMANCE REVEALED: Meghan Markle's Secret Struggle with Friend Serena Williams' Success Exposed!
In a shocking revelation, body language expert Judi James has spilled the tea on Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's "complex" reaction to a comment about her close friend and fellow podcaster Emma Grede praising tennis superstar Serena Williams' entrepreneurial success.
According to The Scholarly Note, the 43-year-old royal, who has been vocal about her struggles with fame and family life, appeared to "struggle a little" when Emma brought up Serena's $350 million fortune.
But things got even juicier when Emma praised Serena's business acumen, which prompted Meghan to perform a series of revealing body language cues. Judi James revealed that Meghan wore a "coyly smug smile" and used a throwaway hand gesture while signaling her friend, followed by an "even coyer smile".
The expert suggested that this was a deliberate attempt to conceal her true emotions, which could be in response to being cut short by Emma or the subject matter itself - namely Serena's success.
When Emma asked Meghan if she would do anything differently, Meghan made what appeared to be a dig at the Royal Family and said she would "ask people to tell the truth".
She then proceeded to "name-drop" Serena, saying, "My dear friend Serena... told me years ago, 'A lie can't live forever'."
Meghan seemed determined to power through her emotions, but Judi James detected a subtle change in her body language. She noted that Meghan's eyes "closed fully here" and her lower jaw performed a micro-jut, which could be indicative of inner conflict or the desire to conceal her thoughts.
This dramatic reaction suggests that Meghan may have been struggling with feelings of jealousy or insecurity about Serena's success, despite publicly professing to be nothing but supportive.
The friendship between Meghan and Serena has been well-documented over the years, with the tennis legend attending the royal wedding in 2018 and being one of the first guests on Meghan's Spotify podcast Archetypes.
In a statement on Twitter after Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Serena described her as a "selfless friend" who "teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble".
The two women have remained close over the years, with Meghan even sharing a clip of them playing board games and laughing together on Instagram.
But behind closed doors, could there be more drama brewing? Only time will tell if this friendship can withstand the pressures of fame and the challenges of being a high-powered royal.
Stay tuned for more updates on Meghan Markle's latest projects and personal life, including her upcoming set of As Ever products, which will drop on Friday, June 20.
