- She made a self-lowering gesture that implies kindness and thanks rather than rudeness, they said.
Experts defended Meghan Markle’s claimed disrespectful behavior during her Windsor walk with Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
According to body language expert Judi James, the Duchess of Sussex’s encounter with a palace aide did not appear to be “rudeness.”
“She is holding flowers and presumably he came across to let her know she could leave them with someone,” the expert explained.
“She turns down the offer and her less immediate response is not just to smile but to also bend her knees and lean backward, which is a self-lowering gesture that implies kindness and thanks rather than rudeness,” she continued.
James added, “The cameras were all at a distance so I doubt she found herself surprised by one close to her that would prompt a change of expression.”
