Meghan’s more vulnerable look came from the way she giggled into her hand in the car in a childlike gesture, the way she stooped as she walked into the venue and lowered her head, and the tight-looking hand clasp with her husband. Her smile was also wide, but it looked incongruent, as though it might be taking some effort. It was not directional, and it didn’t have the kind of crinkling and narrowing effect on her eyes that it would if it were more authentic.
According to Meghan and Harry’s unofficial biographer Omid Scobie, the decision to boot the couple out of their Windsor home came just days after the Duke of Sussex released his controversial memoir Spare in January. The co-author of the book about Harry and Meghan Finding Freedom said the couple was told the property was needed for “someone else” and that relations between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Firm were at “an all-time low.”
Despite the eviction news, the couple seemed to be shrugging it off with wide smiles, which appeared to be a “deliberate projection” of non-verbal “shrugging,” according to Judi. Their smiles seemed like a performance, but only time will tell how they will react to the news in the long run.
