During the 2019 Trooping the Colour event, Meghan Markle's body language caught the attention of many, including once more renowned body language expert Judi James, who analyzed her interaction with Prince Harry. In a pivotal moment, Harry can be seen telling Meghan to "turn around" while she was speaking to him during the National Anthem. Anyone watching on television would have audibly gasped at the out-of-character moment between the couple.

James told The Express that Meghan's response showcased a mixture of frustration, embarrassment, and anger. Despite feeling the pressure of joining the royal family as an American, Meghan obediently complied and turned around, while Harry seemed to neglect his own advice. "It looks like an out-of-kilter moment from the couple who are normally so close, tactile and synchronised," she observed.

James zeroed in on Meghan's increased blink rate, indicating potential upset or irritation during the exchange. The smile that had adorned her face quickly faded, possibly reflecting the seriousness of the event or a reaction rooted in anger. However, disagreements and misunderstandings are an ordinary part of any relationship, and Meghan's "obedient" gesture could have been a means to swiftly diffuse tension in the public eye. It is important to note that Meghan and Harry's decision to step away from their royal duties was heavily influenced by the relentless scrutiny they faced, even during moments of disagreement.
