Prince William and Kate
Middleton “do not want to be associated” with Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle, a royal body language expert has deduced.
Speaking exclusively to Woman’s
Day, body language and behaviour expert Dr. Louise Mahler examined the ‘fab
four’s recent walk around at Windsor Castle following the death of Queen
Elizabeth II.
The unexpected joint outing on
September 10 came as a surprise to shocked onlookers, as the foursome greeted
onlookers and looked at tributes left for the late queen.
Kensington Palace explained
that Prince William invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to join him
and Kate.
However, Dr. Mahler says
there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the foursome’s recent public
outing.
“Harry and Megan are
fascinating. What is absolutely clear, is that William and Kate do not want to
be associated with them. They are being polite. And it’s a very minimum,
otherwise, they’re getting no eye contact. Distance is being kept,” she
says.
“The only conversation is
about logistics, what’s happening now, and even the arm goes up to protect from
William against Harry, and then off, no eye contact, moving off.
“Harry has ‘I am peeved’
written all over his face.”
Dr. Mahler says Harry
appeared “angry” and tried to protect Meghan by placing his hand
on her back, despite it not being royal protocol to do so.
“They are showing ‘we are
different. You don’t want us to be royal, we will not walk a straight line.
So we will hold hands’,” she explains.
“Everyone else was spaced
very clearly and they’re together. That’s a statement. Yes, they’re supporting
each other, but they’re saying ‘we don’t have to follow the royal
protocols’.”
