"These are Hollywood poses, not royal ones. Her dress might be in the shade of beige she claimed to dislike having to wear as a royal, but her rather knowing, eye-narrowed smiles and the perfect displaying of this deceptively simple sheath dress all put her in a different league of power-celebrity."

The expert went on to add that Meghan being ushered along the carpet gave away a major sign of the former actress wanting to be the centre of attention.

"What looks like the biggest Hollywood comeback since Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard is only marred by the one arm that seems to be pushing Meghan along and away as she poses for the cameras on the red carpet.
