Body Language Analyst REACTS! What did Meghan Markle ACTUALLY Say and Why?

When Meghan Markle held on to the flowers given to her by a guest when visiting Windsor Castle with her husband, Prince Harry as well as Prince William and Princess Catherine, the internet went crazy. Some claim she bullied the aide, others saw grace and kindness in her actions; but what does her body language indicate? In this video I will breakdown her body language and REVEAL what she ACTUALLY SAID to the aide in order to narrow down what her intentions may have been.

Hey everyone! First and foremost I would like to say how impressed and grateful I am at the vibe in the comments. The respectful disagreements, the reevaluations based on new information, it’s such a healthy atmosphere and I really appreciate it. Of course everyone has a different opinion but the way it’s being debated here: I love it! Second, there are two truths that I often remind myself of. #1) Gandhi was accused of being abusive towards his wife #2) when he was younger, Hitler was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. (Read that again… PEACE!). The reason I think of this a lot is because if arguably the worst human being who ever walked this planet was deemed worthy of an extremely prestigious award for making the world a better place and if one of the historical figures who spread the most messages about peace was accused of horrible behavior towards his wife then nothing is ever 100%. Pure evil has moments where they’re not being the absolute worst and people with good intentions can behave like absolute monsters. Nobody is always awful and nobody is always a saint. I remind myself of this before every analysis. I can see a lot of you very much dislike Meghan, as I said in the video, you’re entitled to that and I can certainly see why you have landed there. But even if Meghan was the worst human being alive, I like to remind myself that not every action she takes at every moment of every day is motivated by evil, nobody is always evil. I think this approach can allow preconceived opinions to move out of the way. It doesn’t mean we have to love Meghan, it simply means we don’t filter our opinion of THIS moment through THOSE lens. We can baseline behaviors and habits but we don’t need to baseline character because as nuanced as behavior is; I think character is about a million times more nuanced. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@TheBehavioralArts]

@@19590 agreed. The point is some media has used this clip to paint her as a monster. But if someone without her reputation did the exact same thing, I really don’t think it would be a big deal. Not saying she’s a saint or that this is a saintly moment. It’s just not the epitome of evil. ⚖️

I very much agree with you here. I'm not a fan of Meghan's, but I was impressed by her seemingly genuine interaction with the mourners.

Breaking with protocol is rebellion, and that’s what she’s done from the start. It’s also an image thing. Photos of her holding flowers, her putting the flowers down - it’s about her, and the audience was her excuse. No other Royal holds flowers or gifts, and for good reason. There’s a reason there’s a protocol, and you can be assured that she was reminded of protocol before going out that day since she rarely adheres to it.

What I think you are missing is the initial snap she had towards the aid. I can understand all her reasons to keep the flowers, the nice intentions etc, however if you really are a nice person you do not snap in such an aggressive way towards someone you know is only doing his job and that there is a protocollo to follow.

I've paused the video as he suggested and I stick with my initial thoughts she does not like being told what to do but more than that her perceived nerves are, as many who were there testified, because she stunk of booze and was either drunk or hung-over.

She clearly wanted photo ops and was doing that, she was rebellious in the BRF! It was consistent of her behaviour in the BRF. She used to stick her tongue out on Royal walkabouts, we saw it.

[@rowanbowyer6560]

The reason the security aid wanted to take the flowers is because it’s a security issue. Apparently the royal family is briefed very very very very very thoroughly, when there is a huge event like this and emotions are fragile they’re nervous of hidden threats, and apparently it has happened to the queen in earlier times. The security interview explained that this is a long standing protocol and every member of the family is warned, drilled, briefed, and actually in the end a woman in the security stood her ground and instructed harry he had to tell her to hand those flowers over. She did know about the protocol and chose to not follow instructions, the security was nervous because harry has made such a public issue about being safe

It was all about Image Mgt. She decided she would hang onto flowers. She dismissed the aide, indicating she wanted him to go away. She changed sides because thats where William and Catherine were, and she wanted o upstage them. She just refuses to accept the British protocol.

[@itiswhatitis0090]

What I take away from Megan’s refusal to hand over flowers is, to me, a passive aggressive way to, again, ignore protocol with regard to the RF. To ignore a pattern of disregard that she displays, for anyone who is to be given preference or any protocols that are traditional, is ignoring a “baseline” attitude belonging to Megan. She’s not ignorant of proper etiquette; she disregards it; feels it’s somehow degrading to her and by ignoring it, she feels it should change.

I believe she was being snarky with her quick response to the aid. The excuses of she didn’t know protocols, she was awkward…. 🙄. She acted like she was at a red carpet event for her movie. A snarky person can still say “thank you and I appreciate that”. She was very quick to cut him off.

[@tonya--7704]

I think she wanted to place the flowers herself because she wanted the photo op.

[@tonya--7704]

I also think that she wouldn't care at all about how the person who handed them to her feels about what she does with them. She was holding them upside down by her leg so I doubt very much if the exchange with the aide was because she was respecting "the honor" being paid to either her or the Queen by hanging on to them. She wanted a big armload of flowers to put with the rest herself, that was the important part to do it herself, to make it look like the people were connecting to her entrusting her, counting on her to put the flowers where they needed to go. It's all about her image, even when that image is a lie.

[@lyncap1047]

She could be in a hurry talking to the aid, because she was interacting with the people when he disrupted their interaction. It may have seemed rude for her to be brief with the aid, but it’s also rude to interrupt her interaction with those people as they could have been in the middle of a sentence of condolences. For Megan, it’s a no win situation. She was trying her best to be respectful to the people she was interacting with, AND to the aid that she didn’t ignore.

She’s been in this position before, even had an assistant to take flowers, so she knows.

But forgot to add- breaking with protocol is persistent behavior for Megan, at least when it comes to fashion. She has broken rules about nail polish color, stockings, and necklines in dresses she has worn. Hearing what she most likely said to the aide, “I told them” makes me think she did go over the plan with aides beforehand. She wanted to keep the flowers and lay them down herself, which confirms the photo op theory too!

I actually didn't even think about initially that "they" could be the audience. I felt like it hinted at a discussion about the protocol before hand with someone that she told "them" ahead of time that she was going to take the flowers.

She comes across to me as someone who is very concerned with her own image and sees this opportunity (purpose) to insert herself into the picture. (Image) She’s always concerned with image she wants to portray. Her arm around Harry could be a gesture of ownership, “this is my husband and I’m going to protect him [from you].” She’s taking the “mother” role here. (Perceived purpose) It kinda seems when she moves away from him, that she possibly has temporarily forgotten the image she was presenting as “the protector.” Even the response to the aide, which was cleverly portrayed as polite refusal , also highlights her perception of elevation and position as Harry’s wife, (purpose) and therefore “I’ll do with the flowers as I deem appropriate.” (Rebellion). This is a moment where she is in control and the aid really cannot redirect her because she’s royalty. she portrays herself as Harry’s protector-and as his wife she now is right in her decision and shouldn’t be contradicted.
