Body Language Expert Reveals Queen Elizabeth "Truly Embraced" Meghan Markle During Rare Joint Appearance as a "Double Act" in 2018

Meghan Markle wears a cream dress and attends a joint engagement with Queen Elizabeth, who wears a bright green coat, on June 14, 2018.

After marrying Prince Harry on May 19, 2018, Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex and started serving as a senior member of the Royal Family. The following month, Duchess Meghan accompanied Queen Elizabeth II on a rare joint outing to Chester in England, where the pair spent some quality time together. And according to a body language expert, the late Queen "truly embraced" Meghan during the visit.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton said of the June 14, 2018 excursion, "When Meghan first came on the scene, she was keen to fit in and adhere to royal protocols. Everything was new to her, which would feel slightly intimidating to anyone. We saw a much different kind of Meghan at this engagement—although she's a confident woman, you could see she felt slightly nervous."
