An ‘icy moment’ between Kate
Middleton, the newly minted Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle is being
dissected online after the pair were reunited on Sunday.
Kate was caught on camera
offering a very intense glare directed at her sister-in-law before breaking
into a broad grin for the crowd.
The Princess appeared to
notice cameras on her moments before the unfriendly glance gave way to her
public smile, but not before keen royalists noticed.

This led to the icy glare
becoming the center of speculation on the internet – leading thousands to
attempt to decode its meaning.
And it’s not just amateurs and
royal watchers taking part, body language expert Katia Loisal has offered her
own voice to the chorus.
Speaking to Seven
News the respected expert said the split-second ‘look’ did its job in
tearing at Meghan’s confidence.
She noted Prince William
appeared to be making an effort with his sister-in-law, but that feeling didn’t
translate through his wife’s actions.
‘Quite unlike the confident
Meghan we know, Meghan appeared ill at ease during this encounter, which is not
surprising given the recent criticism that she has faced,’ Katia said.
She added that Kate appeared
to be trying to ‘freeze Meghan out’ during the ‘Fab Four’s brief time
together.
‘On numerous occasions, Meghan
looked over at Kate, however, the gaze wasn’t reciprocated,’ Katia said.
The expert noted Kate chose to
‘look through’ Meghan instead.
This appeared to make Meghan
feel uncertain and uncomfortable which can be seen in the way she stooped her
head, sidestepped and faced away from Kate.
‘Meghan’s hand lifted
hesitantly as if to wave, but stopped mid air, rather pausing to adjust her
hair, her head and gaze lowered, before looking up and giving a quick wave, her
arm coming back to rest in front of her body in a partial arm barrier,’ Katia
added.
