The pair prepared a meal – but it was Meghan’s body language which grabbed attention, according to an expert[/caption]
In the Netflix clip from With Love, Meghan, airing on March 4, Meghan bonded with Roy as they made a meal.
Speaking to Fabulous, body language expert Judi James said: “The kaleidoscopic snippy-clips of ‘Meghan World’ here seem to imply it is an idyllic place where she is both adoring and adored.
“Her bonding rituals look like a bottomless buffet of cute dancing, double high-five hand slaps plus some reward hugging from Harry.
“We can see her friendship bonding techniques at work during the clips with the chef.”
The body language expert shared how Meghan does three secret techniques to make people feel like she is their best friend…
1. Mirroring
From her outfit to her tone of voice, Meghan ‘mimics’ people to put them at ease[/caption]
Judi explained that Meghan’s mirroring and mimicry are “intense” in the clip.
She explained: “Meghan dressed the same as the chef, she mimics his cookery techniques and as they chat she references shared experience and even adapts her own vocal tone so they sound alike as they speak.
“The magical techniques are so effective that the chef even remarks that ‘You and I are so similar, we should have met a long time ago’.”
2. Celebratory rituals
The next thing Meghan does to get people on her side is “celebratory rituals”, claims Judi.
The body language pro stated: “Glasses are lifted and clanked in toasts of appreciation and bonding and hands are clapped together in the air in gestures of shared triumph.
“In the real world this is a behavior usually only seen among teams celebrating a win.
“Meghan’s BFFs are being shown as constantly celebrating everything with her in rituals of shared achievement.”
3. Smiling
It may seem obvious, but getting people to smile is one of Meghan’s main techniques for breaking down any barriers.
Judi stated: “ In real life only small children have this experience but here it is shown as a non-negotiable given.

“Meghan even does little dances to make us all smile when we look at her.
“Yet it is interesting how quickly her responses change when her new friend says something she doesn’t agree with or understand.”
However, Meghan’s demeanour changed from “flattering mimicry to wary disbelief” when Roy told her that he listens to “Death metal” when cooking.

Judi added: “It is here their differences suddenly begin to glare out.
“When she turns back to work she throws a side-eye look that appears wary and her mouth forms what looks like a sulk shape.
“She stares at the chef to rebuke him, telling him ‘That doesn’t sound like the joy of cooking’, and shaking her head at him.
“His following non-idyllic comment about ‘It’s good when you’re butchering’ sits jarringly in Meghan’s world of sweet treats and floral prints and her facial expression illustrates that point.”

In the clip, Roy added: “We all have different sides to us”, with Meghan replying: “That’s true. Multifaceted folks, that’s what we are.”
Meghan also spoke about fond memories of fun times dancing in Koreatown.
“The best thing about Koreatown you could go to all ages clubs and karaoke bars,” she said.
Mr Choi shared: “I was part of dance crews, all that stuff.”
“No one talks about all the dances that were such a big deal, the Roger Rabbi and the Kid ‘n Play, it was so much fun.”
The Chef laughs: “Man, you and I are so similar, we should have met a long time ago.”
Fan reaction
With Love, Meghan, airs on Netflix on March 4[/caption]
Fans were quick to share their excitement in the comment section.
“This looks great! Just what we need right now!” wrote one.
“Cannot wait,” agreed another.
It comes after Meghan also shared behind the scenes footage with Prince Harry making a surprise appearance.
Meghan, 43, captioned her latest Instagram post: “Six more days until our show launches on @netflix!
“Celebrating the crew and everyone who helped make this happen! The countdown begins.”
Showtime
Last month, the Duchess of Sussex announced her lifestyle series, ‘With Love, Meghan’, which will be released on Netflix on March 4, after it was postponed from January due to the LA wildfires.
A trailer for the programme showed Meghan, 43, inviting friends and famous guests to a California estate where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.
The Netflix show will have eight 33 minute episodes featuring a host of Meg’s various Hollywood friends trying her simple, yet “elevated”, food.
The series is reportedly being made to complement her lifestyle brand As Ever, which Meghan announced last week.
The Duchess was forced this month to re-brand American Riviera Orchard – originally announced a year ago – due to trademark issues.
Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals?
PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond.
Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that Megxit did not come as a surprise to her.
Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: “Anyone who knows Harry is aware he’s always wanted a way out of the Royal Family.
“He’s said multiple times on the record that he wished he’d never been born a prince.
“I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It’s very, very sad that it’s played out the way it has.”
In a statement made on the Sussexes’ Instagram account as they stepped back in 2020, the pair wrote: “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
“It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
