LONDON – Being in the limelight is not something new for a seasoned actresslike Meghan Markle.
The Suits star, who will soon be married to Prince Harry, has become thecynosure of all eyes, with the paparazzi constantly following her everysingle move, ever since the announcement of the couple’s engagement.
However, years of experience in the show business could not make Meghanimmune to the pressures of being in the public eye. This became all themore evident, ever since she started making public appearances with PrinceHarry or other members of the royal family.
The 36-year-old actress has often been spotted fidgeting with her hair inpublic, which, according to body language expert Elizabeth Kuhnke, is asign that Meghan is trying to remain calm in the midst of all the chaos,reported Independent.Photo: Reuters
“It’s the adult version of a child clutching favourite toy, mother’s skirtor father’s hand when feeling anxious and not knowing what to do or say,”she said.
Kuhnke also clarified that the same hair-playing gesture would notnecessarily have had the same connotation if Meghan would have been in aprivate setting.
“When feeling nervous–knowing millions of people are watching andjudging–tilting one’s head down and playing with hair is a tell of thepsychological state of the need to shield or protect herself,” sheexplained.Picture courtesy: Facebook/Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
This understanding of Meghan’s gesture could be probable, especially withthe woman having taken upon herself newer responsibilties after herengagement to the Prince. In fact, the idea of forgoing one’s earlier lifeas a commoner, to become a member of the most famous royal family in theworld, in itself, is quite a huge affair.
