The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is undoubtedly great at winning hearts with her exceptional sense of vogue tenets. However, her infectious charm and jazz, especially during the first tweet-ups, have helped captivate everyone. Be it King Charles, for the matter. Despite the endless controversies that have tried to demean her image, Markle shines brightly in the eyes of many. A royal expert and a distinguished expert on etiquette have laid a thorough groundwork for the same.

Maya Meier has compiled Markle’s elements and quirks that make her an astounding character to meet at events. She feels that “there is a science behind the Markle charm“, which we all can learn from, to make great first impressions. Meir carefully breaks down the teachings into four steps. The first of which might sound a bit microscopic, but works wonders on the practical plane.

How does Meghan Markle carry herself so well? 

According to the expert, as Marie Claire reports, the Duchess of Sussex holds her clutch bag in her left hand. It ensures that her working hand, the right hand, remains free to greet people when they approach her. This apparently makes her seem cordial and inviting in spirit. This also saves her the hassle of having to switch hands while meeting them, hence avoiding awkward encounters. The second step is to hold drinks in one hand, which makes one appear “more social and approachable at a party.”

The third and fourth steps are all about making people like you by liking them first. The most subtle way of doing it would be by addressing people by their names. Following these three steps of establishing influence is the cornerstone of likeability: a true and open-grinned smile. Whenever the Duchess walks into an event, we observe that “she follows the formula (of) eyes open and mouth open,” stated Meier. This not only makes every one of your presence a picture-perfect frame of cheerfulness but also exhibits a noticeable aura of openness and receptiveness.

Icing these four steps, the forever fashionista maintains a “stellar posture“, all the time. By simply keeping her chin parallel to the floor and her shoulders arching back (or sometimes stooping for the other person to make them feel at ease), Markle manages to quantify her charm even more.

The Duchess is captivating, once said King Charles 

Not only experts, but the members of the Royal Family have never fallen short of acknowledging Meghan’s social cognizance. Her father-in-law, who is no more in contact with the Duchess, used to be captivated by Markle. He was so impressed that he even had the most touching nickname for her.

When Queen Elizabeth II met her in 2017 for the first time, she was taken aback by the warmth and sincerity Meghan had to offer, quoting that she was “a very charming young woman“. Even Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, a present critic, once gleefully admitted that he senses the Princess’ “ability to connect with people” in Meghan Markle.
