Meghan Markle shared a heartwarming relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II. The late monarch adored Prince Harry and his wife, and thus she tried her best to make Markle feel warm and at home with the royal family. The former American actress also reciprocated the pure adulation. Even after her exit from the royal family, the Duchess hailed the Queen for her kind and welcoming nature

Last month, the body language expert Judi James claimed that Meghan Markle was always inclined towards building a good camaraderie with Her Majesty. She analyzed Markle’s body language and gestures from the June 2018 event that the Duchess attended with the late Queen. James revealed that during the opening ceremony of the Mersey Gateway Bridge, Markle used her body language to give insight into her loving relationship with the matriarch.

Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed a secret-sharing relationship with Meghan Markle

The 2018 event saw Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth laughing together. They displayed an affectionate relationship with each other. The expert Judi James believes that Markle’s eye-wrinkled smiles, giggles, and eye and hand movements suggested a deep and warm relationship with her husband’s grandmother.

“The late Queen did leave a greater legacy in terms of some more heart-warming body language poses with Meghan. She was clearly very keen to define an almost grandmother-granddaughter relationship,” the body language expert said in her interaction with the Express.

The pictures suggest that the Queen had a more loving and affectionate bond with Markle as compared to Kate Middleton. Meanwhile, James also highlighted how the cameras could never capture the warmth between Prince William and Meghan Markle. As per the body language expert, the only warm gesture the Prince of Wales did for his sister-in-law was after Queen’s death by inviting her for a walk outside Windsor Castle. 

Before the Sussexes’ exit from the royal family, the fab four, Prince William, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle attended a decent number of events together. However, the royal watchers could hardly spot the Prince of Wales sharing a moment with the former American actress.
