A body language expert has claimed Meghan Markle "changed" and had "dead" eyes after her engagement to Prince Harry.
The expert, Dr Louise Mahler, appeared on Australian programme The Morning Show. She analysed key moments from Harry and Meghan's bombshell Netflix show, as well as criticising the Sussexes over "staged photos".
As reported by the Mirror, the body language expert claimed that Meghan had "great prospects" growing up but cited a "weird gesture" which signalled that she had changed as a person. Meanwhile, the 'staged photos', which were presented as candid, revealed the one moment that she thinks made Harry feel "embarrassed".

"In the second episode when it's all about her as a child, that was delightful," Dr Mahler said. "She was a gorgeous young woman with great prospects, and she wrote beautifully, she did great things and then we see in the engagement photo, it changes."
She went on to explain: "Her smile becomes teeth, her eyes are dead, her arms lock into her body and she began doing this weird gesture where she pushes her hair back which is useless, what a useless gesture. Who does that? She changed."
Discussing another part of the programme, Dr Mahler said: "She constantly talks about freedom 'I must be free, free, free' or 'Oh look there's my favourite song about freedom'." She went on to claim that Meghan and Harry are "different" people when they're not together.
The couple's Netflix documentary included a number of candid photos and videos, but Dr Mahler claimed that these were "very staged". She also addressed the "awkward" moment in the documentary where Meghan tried to recreate a curtsey, claiming that it was "disrespectful" and "one of the few" moments Harry was embarrassed by her.
Meanwhile, she said Harry was "affected dramatically by his mother's death" and has other issues too. "Harry is somebody who obviously has low self-esteem, he talks constantly about being ginger, 'I'm a ginger' the whole time as though that's a problem – and then he talks about his heartbreak and you hear to this day that his voice breaks".
Going back to Meghan, Dr Mahler added: "The whole story about the curtsy was disrespectful. If you went to a different country with a different culture, say Japan, and they said you had to bow, you would not make fun of that bow.
"You would see it as a creative opportunity, you wouldn't suddenly talk about 'Oh in medieval times'. I think he was definitely embarrassed at that moment and this was one of the few moments he was embarrassed, and I think he should be embarrassed a lot more".
