Meghan Markle was left shocked after Prince Harry made a joking remark about her cooking in the latest episode of her Netflix holiday special, With Love, Meghan, a body language expert has claimed.
During the special episode With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, the Duke of Sussex suggested that Meghan’s mother, Doria, cooks better than she does.
The moment sparked a humorous moment in the kitchen with body language expert Judi James saying that Meghan’s reaction showed real shock.
She told The Express that the moment claimed that Meghan is usually very supportive of Harry in public, she may have expected the same from him in front of the cameras.
“He (Harry) adopts a 'naughty child' air of crouching mock fear as he says this, but he seems to (mistakenly) believe that by complimenting her mother's cooking he will somehow be guaranteed to be pleasing her,” James said.
She added, “Harry clearly understands little about the complexities of a mother/daughter relationship, especially when the daughter is trying to pitch herself as some kind of world class food whisperer.
“It is claimed that there is no such thing as a joke, just a dig or a swipe at someone's expense and although Meghan's response looks playful and 'mock' on the surface her instantaneous side-eye as her mouth falls open in shock and her hands freeze in mid-air suggests some authentic shock that he would dare to draw any negative comparisons in front of her cameras when she is vying to be producing perfect levels of Xmas edible fare.
“Will the banter battle continue through Harry's next big TV event? Will Meghan be in front of the cameras at his Invictus Games jokingly telling him that his father's contribution to Invictus was better than his?”
Judi continued: “Meghan's support for Harry is always unswerving in the public eye and it might have been fair for her to expect the same from him here.”
