Meghan Markle ‘mimicked child asking to be picked up & cuddled’ while filming for Netflix, body language expert says

A BODY language expert has said that Meghan Markle “mimicked a child asking to be picked up and cuddled” during a Netflix shoot.

Meghan was snapped alongside polo star Nacho Figueras and his family as part of a filming day for Prince Harry’s upcoming documentary about the sport.

Body language expert Judi James said that the Duchess of Sussex’s display alongside the Argentine model dubbed the ‘David Beckham of polo’, and his wife was “intensely affectionate” and a “rare illustration” of how she is around friends.

Judi explained: “‘The joys of friendship’ is said to be one of Meghan’s new Netflix shows so this body language display seems to coincide nicely with the theme.

“Meghan is known for her tactile displays and PDAs with Harry and people she supports or meets with her campaigns and causes but this is a rare illustration of her non-verbal behaviour in a more friendship-based role.

“As she approaches Nacho’s wife Delfina for a hug she extends her arms fully and holds them out rigidly in an announcement or intentional ritual that suggests intense warmth.

“The gesture is rather sweet because it is one that mimics a small child asking to be picked up and cuddled.”

And it didn’t end there, added Judi, as the pair’s “friendship rituals” were just as strong as they strolled together around the filming location in Palm Beach, Florida.

She went on: “Their smiles aren’t visible to each other but both look reflective and, as Meghan might say, ‘Joyful’.

“Their heads lean together in a gesture of trust and like-minded thinking and their arms are round each other’s torsos.”

Meghan’s encounter with Nacho was equally good-spirited even, suggests Judi, extending beyond the realms of friendship.

The expert continued: “Meghan’s greeting ritual with Nacho is also warm, more like a family ritual.

“They stand further apart but engage in eye contact with their hands on each other’s arms to make the conversation look meaningful.

“Even Meghan’s hug with their daughter is more of a close family gesture.

“Despite the fact the girl has her hands full, Meghan wraps her arms around her and even kisses her on the head.”

It seems Meghan has a long-standing friendship with the Figueras family, with Delfina (known by her maiden name Blaquier) praising her warmly in a 2022 interview.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, the businesswoman and former athlete said: “[Meghan] is so wonderful and strong.

“Stronger than she knows. I love being around my friends, and I will always support her.”

The couple also attended the Sussexes’ wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle in 2018.

The shoot comes after an awkward moment during the Miami polo tournament, where Meghan was spotted telling a woman not to pose next to Harry.

The pair also shared a loved-up moment as they kissed in front of the cameras at the trophy presentation.
