Meghan Markle has caused a number of headlines since she married into the Royal Family
This includes rumours of a rift with Kate Middleton. There have also been claims that Prince William warned Harry about his relationship with Meghan causing tension
However, there are two members of the royal house hold the LA-native has bonded with
According to an expert there is “empathy and understanding” between the Duchess of Cornwall and Meghan
Body language expert Judi James told Express.co.uk: “The bonding between Meghan and her in-laws looks intense, and there are several poses between Meghan and Camilla Parker Bowles that would hint at high levels of developing empathy and understanding
“The outstanding trait that both women share is an obvious affection for Prince Charles
” Meghan and Charles are evidently close, as the Prince of Wales walked the former-actress part way down the aisle on her wedding day, He made open efforts to make Meghan’s mother Doria feel at ease and is said to have a special nickname for Meghan, “tungsten”
“Camilla seems to have spotted the fact that Meghan is a fan of Prince Charles and that appears to be creating a more easy-going relationship than she appears to have with Kate and William,” Judi said
Meghan and Camilla seemed especially close last June for Meghan’s first official Buckingham Palace balcony appearance
“At the Trooping of the Colour last June the two women used eye contact behind the Queen’s back and their body language states as they chatted and laughed looked complimentary, with Meghan in excited child mode with her raised brows, eye contact and a smile so intense you can see the stretching of her neck muscles, while Camilla provided a maternal-looking response with her head tilt and warm smile,” Judi explained
And the pair’s warm interactions were not limited to this one occasion. “At Ascot their body language showed they were delighted to see one another, with an engaged eye contact and a chatty smile from Meghan, plus an outstretching of both arms with one palm facing up that would signal a desire to be touched,” Judi said
“Their hand-holding as they cheek-kissed did appear a little awkward, showing an early-days aspect of their friendship, with Meghan’s upturned palm meeting Camilla’s identical gesture, meaning Meghan then turned her hand to place it on top
“Watching the two women side by side talking to Charles you can see from their mirroring and Charles’s delighted smile as they share a joke that this is developing into some similarly strong parent/child bonding as Kate has with Philip and the Queen
