Meghan Markle’s Holiday special show has landed on Netflix and it says a lot of about her family life, says Judi James.

The Duchess of Sussex, who has released an hour long episode of ‘With Love, Meghan,’ has shared a glimpse of her relationship with young daughter, Princess Lilibet.

Body language expert Judi James, speaking on behalf of casino.ca, says: "As love language goes it looks rather maternal and this is compounded when, surprisingly, her guest's wife calls Meghan 'Mama' when she speaks to her here. The 'Mama' theme seems to be retained in the body language displays as Harry makes a cameo appearance towards the end of the video.

She continued: "'Mama' is doing some very grown-up cooking with a chef, and Harry sidles in with a very tentative and impersonal 'Hi guys', looking like a fish out of Gumbo here as his slightly hushed voice suggests he might be intruding rather than being the undoubted star turn.

"His behaviour does everything to signal that it's Meghan who is the star here, and that he has no desire to pull rank or to upstage her, and as a result his non-verbal displays convert to those of a child. His 'I smell Gumbo' comes with a lowered, submissive head and a slightly rictus smile as though he's foraging for food. He's rewarded by Meghan's over-the-shoulder glance and a closed-lip smile that suggests she's doing grown-up things here,” she noted.
