[@Butterflyyyy9]

Who cares

[@milenaschillernino4469]

Catherine is in the lead here, she knows exactly what she wants and she doesn't look out for Meghan or any of the others, she walks straight over, which is quite unusual for her, as she is a very considerate, empathetic and kind person who looks out for others. In this clip she is a Queen and it is clear that Meghan doesn't dare to invade her space, none of them actually, it even feels like William was kind of surprised by her confidence. I'm pretty sure that she was angry. There is something quite fascinating about anger - it gives us strength, power and space. Meghan looks really intimidated and lost, Harry is nervous, but also quite defiant. What's interesting is that Meghan completely changes when she starts shaking hands. She is all smiles and seems confident - maybe because she knows what to do and feels that she is very well received by the crowd despite all the lies and false claims of racism or maybe because she loves to be the centre of attention. There is a very strange expression of fury when the aid asks if he should take the flowers, its just a flash and still it stayed with me and I wondered what it was about. When Catherine engages with the people she is back to her soft and kind side and also Harry is back to his more relaxed self. William looks very sad and thoughtful in the beginning but he relaxes a bit when he starts talking to the people. William takes the lead when they go to look at the flowers and cards.

[@em-jaytaylor6743]

I’ve only just found this, but it’s fascinating to watch now knowing that Catherine has described this walk-about as “one of the most difficult things she’s had to do [on the job]”. Projecting control and studiously ignoring anyone goes against the grain to her, because she’s a naturally empathetic person who works to try to make others comfortable - but it was the advice she was given. I believe it is Catherine’s “taking no shit” attitude on this walkabout is a major part of MM’s discomfort

[@ellebee6712]

I totally agree.

[@Cookontherun7391]

Agree. Something must have gone down before the walk about. Princess Catherine is taking the lead like a mother with two naughty children. Every ounce of her says she is more than less pleased. MM has no chance to win this dual.

You are completely correct!

[@melindajensen9881]

Beautifully said. Spidey and David have done a great job giving an unbiased analysis based on body language alone, but we do know that I lot went down in the months before the Queen's death, including the drama that occurred as the Queen was taking her last breaths. Best I don't say too much about that here. Kate is very strong and I have great admiration for her. She'll be a magnificent queen one day.

[@hilaryoldfield7869]

Princess Catherine is a very strong protector and leader when it comes to her family and she appears to be stepping forward to let Prince William know he is not alone. Harry and Megan appear very nervous and so they should, because they don't know, not only the reception they will receive from the public, but from William and Catherine. Prince William will make a remarkable King with Princess Catherine at his side. Harry and Meghan will become very insignificant.

[@ruthstallwood3967]

I think that Meghan is terrified that’s why she holds Harry’s hand. William and Kate are coming over as confident and self assured. They don’t need to hold hands in public. I found it amusing that William had to indicate to Harry they were turning left, not going straight to the public.

[@cannellecinnamon5504]

William and Kate don’t have the right to hold hands when they’re on duty. It’s protocol. Harry has that right since he’s not in the same position as his brother.

[@sandcastle2069]

I truly feel sorry for them. The royal house is not a warm welcoming house. They expected Diana to know how to dress and behave but never bothered to teach her, or Meghan. They all knew the now King had an affair behind her back, never telling her. What a betrayal! The royal house as it was up to the queens death, was a dark, cold, antiquated house, and I believe that a king has to die before we get to see a change. I just feel sorry for all of them and hopefully they two princes can start to heal when everyone, that betrayed their mother, are dead. It is only so much you can endure before you feel obligated to open your mouth. Change does not come on its own, it always starts with an uproar and I believe H&M did right by speaking up. You can’t expect to be stepped on and stepped on without saying stop. Diana did it and now her son did it too.

I’ll never forget reading, years ago, of Diana crying in the bathroom and William pushing tissues under the door to her. They were so close, she confided in him, despite him being a child and he keeps Diana alive, in a way. He truly is him mother’s son.

I LOVE this community so much! As I read through the comments I am seeing a 6th theory for the flowers and not only do I love it, I 100% believe it might be one of the strongest contenders. Many of you have noted that it’s a sign of respect towards the person who gave them to her. Like it might seem rude to immediately giveaway a gift someone gave you. Fun fact: when someone hands you a business card, you will make a better impression if you take it from them with two hands, handle it delicately and hold onto it as you keep talking to them as opposed to smooshing it into your back pocket in a dismissive way. She could be applying this psychology to the flowers I love this theory and I love you, you little geniuses. Glad you’re enjoying the video ❤️

[@Tina-si1gz]

How funny you mention receiving a business card. In a travel job I once had business cards were always exchanged after a meeting. A seasoned business woman told me prior to a meeting with Japanese businessmen to always use both hands when taking their card. It’s a sign of respect in their culture of which I was completely unaware and grateful for the knowledge ahead of time.

[@TheBehavioralArts]

@@Tina-si1gz business card etiquette in Asia is a beautiful thing! They will take it with two hands and give it a quick read before continuing the conversation. A business card is an extension of ourselves and the way the person we hand it to treats it is an indicator of how much respect they have for you.

[@stephs4362]

You can see she enjoyed holding the flowers, who wouldn't? Most of us would love having arms full of flowers. We give them to winners, singers, actors, VIPs etc. The issue here, is they weren't for her. These people didn't buy them and stand for hours to see her. They were for the Queen. That's why it was inappropriate for her to keep hold of them and thats why the aides wanted to take them and lay them with the other tributes. Tributes to a monarch who has served for 70 years and just died. It isn't the Megan show. In terms of the Royal family she is not only low ranked but did the 1 thing that isn't tolerated - used the status for personal gain.

[@blueberryberet3478]

That sounds fine, but it is Royal protocol to hand off any gifts for security. There could be a bomb, etc. and Meghan knows this, because she’s been in this position several times. They wanted to have a walk about by themselves, remember they usually have a camera crew around. I think that’s why William decided to do it together and not let them control the narrative. Remember Harry and M are supposed to be so worried about their security and wanted the Queen to pay for it. They have a law suit in court at this time, yet she doesn’t seem concerned. JS

My theory is that she felt it would be insulting to the person giving her the flowers to instantly hand them over. By holding them she could be showing that she appreciates their kindness. It could also be self-soothing, "I'm liked", but I think if she handed them over right away, she would think people may thing she'd be disregarding the person's kind gesture.

I feel like personal grief plays a massive role in how everyone is carrying themselves. No doubt, William was probably shattered and heartbroken and Catherine knew this meant she needed to step up and take control of these situations. My husband and I do this for each other. When one is low and struggling to cope, the other steps up to ease or prevent any added stress. I don't think Meghan knows how to be a rock in this way. I'm not saying she lacks confidence in the right situations, but I don't think she's someone to turn to for guidance during high stress situations.

That would be true for people like you and I but they were briefed for 45 minutes prior to the walkabout about exact guidelines.

Also rhey would have too many flowers and going back and forth between gate and people would have eaten into the limited walk about time. The way i see it, she just made it all about Megan once again . The funny thing is how she was telling the folks how to do their job and arguing where flowers would go. Lady, that’s their job that they’ve been rehearsing for a while now. It was all scripted by the queen prior to her death. Don’t tell them what to do !

The flowers thing was an issue because its security protocol in the UK and has been for a very long time. The royal security actually came out and explained why there are aid’s collect the flowers and or gifts because of hidden threats, poisons things like that, the security did make it very clear and without doubt that ALL the royals are made VERY AWARE of that protocol, especially when there are occasions when there may be perceived issues. I always thought aids took the flowers so it could free up the royal person, but apparently it’s been the very firm policy for some time, it goes back to a time when anthrax was used and some people have been poisoned. It was an interesting interview and I understood why they are asked to hand over stuff, the guy also made it very clear that they are all briefed thoroughly and its a strict rule,so in this instance I understood why megan was approached numerous times , in the end a female security person approached harry,stood her ground and insisted the flowers be handed over. I suppose it’s better to be safe I guess, anyway I think the British public have shown the world how such a huge event can be conducted with profound dignity, the crowds were an absolute mix of nationality’s, cultural diversity, young and older people, a reflection of their affection for their queen.

Had that been done effectively and appropriately I doubt that this issue would have occurred. This is what I'm talking about. The royal f family sets her up to fail because she doesn't know or understand, puts her in a position where she will make social or royal mistakes, and then publically beat her up in person, on social media, etc. for making the mistake, and make it sound like she is doing it Brevard she is such a bad person. The royal family's arrogance and intentional hateful is not only alarming but shameful. Does anyone honestly believe that Megan would knowingly out herself in harms way to inhale anthrax, pick up an explosive device that looked otherwise innocent, or jeopardize herself in any other way if it had been explained to her that this is why the protocols were in place.

Meghan doesn't know what to do because they were caught out so she is no longer in charge, where she likes to be. William and Catherine are in charge. Meghan is a mess, horrible look with bad hair extentions, she was caught off guard and not ready when told she would be with William and Catherine.

Also, is it possible Harry is having a problem with his jacket button? He step back possibly to close it when they got there and keeps covering it with his hand because he knows it will be judged negatively.

Of course, a person can’t fake everything, but BL can’t always be read in a vacuum. For example, I believe that what looks like demureness on the part of MM when she exits the car was planned. As she gets out of the car, you can see her look directly at the camera, I suppose to make sure it’s focused her way. What looks like hesitation as Catherine continues forward, was deliberate. MM simply wanted the shot of just herself and looking all meek and hesitant, probably to forestall people’s wrath re her Oprah performance.

I think Meaghan’s holding onto the flowers is acknowledgement of the giver’s generosity and sympathy. Because handing it off immediately could look like she doesn’t really think the giver’s gift is important enough for her to receive and appreciate the spirit in which the flowers are given.

[@MrsK976]

Yes

[@pattymcgaffagan5590]

It may be cultural, too. Americans tend to be aware of needing to show appreciation for a gift rather than adhere to protocol.

[@keeshabrooks6264]

So agree

[@shariedanceinthedark1746]

They weren't for her though. They were for the Queen and were to be put on a memorial. The giver handed them to her and sShe just acted as if they were a gift for her.

[@TheAamama]

Not sure how you're going to read 7 thousand comments but I wanted to suggest another theory as to why Meghan held onto the flowers. It could be that she genuinely connected with the individuals she interacted with and felt that giving the flowers away immediately might show she didn't appreciate them or the person who gave them to her.

[@ec7568]

You can see her saying "I'm going to put them over there".

[@BookishDark]

Yup. Exactly this.

British and American cultures are very different. It’s hard not to judge another way of doing things when you haven’t experienced that before. That was honestly the biggest question mark I had about Harry and Meghan. I can’t imagine any American being able to adjust to that level of responsibility in another culture and be in the spotlight with it. Diana had a horrible time with it and she was actually English

[@fencing_girl]

I re-watched this today (3 months after it was done). I did this because while watching the various interviews of Harry & Megan being analyzed on the Behaviour Panel, I saw Harry mention greeting mourners after their mother's death. This might explain the awkwardness in both Harry & William at the beginning of this video. As noted, Catherine is the only one comfortable & confident. To her, this is just another public engagement (she's had a lot of practice at over the years). I'm willing to guess, that both Harry & William have a lot of "internal voices" going on as memories (or feelings) around doing the same "greeting the mourners" after their mother's passing. I'm willing to bet that these feelings can't help but creep into their consciousness at a time like this.

[@Malisti04]

Well said

[@valeriemahabir7997]

Thanks for your insightful comment. This might bring into question the accuracy of body language experts. Catherine might have indeed appeared self-confident, but she later remarked that that walk was one of the most difficult things she has ever done. It was designed as a PR moment, and she carried it off flawlessly. As you mentioned, she has had a great deal of experience.

[@KourttneyL]

Also PTSD!!! Jesus. They weren’t able to mourn correctly for their mother. Kate saw this as a public engagement, like you said!! 👏🏻

[@DeeTeeCat2023]

I don't think that Kate saw this as just another public engagement, but rather tried to keep everything going smoothly so that Will and Harry could concentrate on mouring.

[@DeeTeeCat2023]

Thank you so much, Spidey for this healthy debate. They lost their beloved Granny, they're grieving, and that sea of flowers is taking them back to 1997 to Diana's death. The world lacks of compassion and empathy. May them both, William and Harry find solace in their lives to heal their hearts.

[@juanitacushing2706]

Another possible reason she wanted to hold on to the flowers was she didn't want to hurt the feelings of the possible fan by getting rid of the flowers as if they were not truly appreciated. It was nice of Harry to let her know it was OK.

Their assistants always take flowers and gifts from the Royals on walkabouts.. ALWAYS. Not only is it very awkward to greet well-wishers with arms overflowing with bouquets, but it's also a huge security risk. Anything handed over to the Royals is taken away as soon as possible. I'm sure Meghan knew this protocol, but she craved her moment in the spotlight when she would go over and place the flowers down herself.

[@carolinewilde9285]

Late to this, but there is a boring reason for handing over the flowers to the aides- security. They are protection officers and have to ensure the Royals are not handed anything harmful.

[@melissaobrien5014]

I agree Kate coming down to the children's level shows how much she wants to acknowledge children as much as everyone else. I'm sure she's a great mother as she's aware of Williams childhood

[@MichAndo2712]

Well done guys!! This is a very thoughtful, kind and considerate body language analysis. It's so nice to finally see a clip of this moment that is not nasty and mean to any of these four. None of them deserve all of the negativity surrounding their relationship at the moment, all speculative anyway, as noone knows what goes on behind closed doors but your analysis has provided what is in my opinion the first empathic view of the possibilities. 👏👏👏

[@yindivt6689]

I feel like there should be a 6th reason for Meghan's keeping the flowers: It gave me the feeling she's trying to portray herself as someone who "truly cares" about the people there and the flowers they brought, rather than saying "oh thank you so much" and then instantly passing them off to a guard. Whether she's doing it out of sincerity or for the sake of self image?🤷‍♀️

[@pennyknapper2303]

I think it's a combination of things. May people travelled to pay respect to the queen. They didn't know that M &H would be there. I think she thought that some of the flowers were for her. She's holding on to them for something to do and unsure if she would . She stood by the car as a lone figure trying to possibly emulate the Diana moment at the Taj Mahal. I noted also that tried to stand near Prince William and he kept moving away. She is very aware of the pr😅ļ😅😅😅😅😅,

[@samlean7177]

It's 1 and 4 for me and I really feel for her right now! Whatever she has done right and wrong she must be all over the place! The media needs to stop criticising all the little details and let them all grieve and do the best they can.

[@carolinesoyts5389]

@Sam, I totally agree with you. We need to consider that Meghan Markle doesn't have the decades of experience with royal etiquette/protocol the other royals have. I remember the time she closed the car door on her own and there was a general outrage about her seemingly ignoring protocol. I don't think it's all malicious. That much scrutiny and criticism is daunting.
