We already know that Meghan lied about being married three days before the royal wedding.
But it was still hard to understand why would she lie in something so serious and that could
be so easily disproved... until now.
- Even our wedding... you know, three days before our wedding, we got married
I'm going to analyze her body language signals of deception, and at the same time expose
the reasons why both she and Harry lied to millions.
Welcome back, my body language buddies! my name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body
Language Guy, and it would be great if you join us by just liking this video, subscribing
and hitting that bell! let's get down to it!
Just to be clear, in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the Archbishop
of Canterbury said:
"The legal wedding was on the Saturday.
I signed the wedding certificate which is a legal document and I would have committed
a serious criminal ofFENCE if I signed it knowing it was false."
So yes, he was denying what Meghan said... so, we have a front row line to watch Meghan's
gestures when she was, quite literally, lying.
Even so, I've told you many times that you cannot jump to conclusions from a single gesture.
But in this case there are FOUR signals that are useful to spot.
The first one is that quick nose touch.
I'm going to play that section a few times, so you can really appreciate the speed, pressure
and the general movement of the gesture.
Now, I've seen tens of thousands of nose touches along my career, and this one looked preMEditated
to me.
This was not an spontaneous gesture, but one thought in advance.
At first I didn't understand why she would do something like that, besides being an actress
and trying to add flair and emotion to her words, but then I realized what was her intention
behind that conscious gesture.
But before we get into that, let's watch the other three signals.
One, being that really long blink that she did when she was turning towards Oprah.
In Body Language there are many eye signals, and doing a long blink is usually related
with not being so sure of what they are saying, and sometimes concealing information or...
just plain lying.
So we got one conscious gesture and a second one that possibly implies lying.
The third one is a bit hard to spot because the camera changes in a split second.
But right before the camera switch, you can see that she raises her eyebrows when talking
to Oprah.
And she raises them with some intensity.
We do this eyebrow gesture unconsciously when we want some feedback from the person that
we are talking to.
This doesn't have to do with lying but instead that you are looking for approval from the
other person.
It's like nodding.
For example, you are giving a speech and nod slowly, so you make your audience nod in unison
with you so you have this positive feedback.
And her hand with the palm up towards Oprah is also a nonverbal signal of not having anything
to hide, and at the same time asking from some kind of feedback from the person that
she's talking to.
So, as you can see, none of these gestures, isolated, signal lying, but it's the stacking
of them that can lead you to a solid conclusion.
But nonverbal communication is not only body language, and there's a very good reason that
she said this statement while sitting in the dirt among the chickens.
And you're about to find out why.
Now, the big question is, if she knew that this was straight up lying in front of millions
of people, and this lie could be so easily disproved by a single statement by the Archbishop
of Canterbury, then what was the point behind that action?
And that's why you should remember that behind every attitude, behavior, body language signal,
lies an emotion or an intention.
Even if they just want to watch the world burn, there's the intention to watch the world
burn.
But sometimes, people's intentions are not that easy to decipher, so what you should
do is to reverse engineer the possible outcomes of their actions.
In this case, Meghan lied about her wedding day.
There are just two possible outcomes about that.
One, the Archbishop does not make any statement disproving her, and two, he disproves what
she said as false.
Now, let's see what Meghan wins or loses in any of these scenarios.
In the first scenario, no one challenges her claim that she married three days before the
Royal Wedding.
So this romantic, fairytale story of she marrying in an intimate ceremony becomes the truth.
In this scenario she manages to reinforce that aura of being special, of being a rebel
that does not abide by the Monarchy's customs and rules.
That's good for the image that she wants to sell to the world.
But we already know, from the words of the Archbishop himself, that such an 'intimate
wedding' would have become a criminal ofFENCE if he signed a fake certificate the actual
day of the ceremony, on Saturday.
So, I'm pretty sure that Meghan was aware of this.
So, she consciously and deLIberately put the Archbishop in a very uncomfortable position
of having to say something about this.
And the moment that the Archbishop says that this was simply not true, that what Meghan
Markle said about her wedding was false, then... she had another card that she could use to
affirm that she was being attacked by this huge Institution and she is just one woman.
If you think about it, this second scenario also reinforces the same narrative that we
mentioned in option one.
That she's a lone rebel against a centuries-old Monarchy.
So Meghan's lie was a maNIpulative strategy that I've mentioned before, that is a Double
Bind.
Whatever was the Archbishop's decision, to talk or not to talk, it would reinforce how
Meghan wants to be perceived by the world.
This is Macchiavelli-Level manipulation.
And to top it all off, that's why she made that statement sitting among the chickens.
Sitting in the soil.
And here's why:
Eventually, the news outlets would call her off on that statement, and in doing so, they
most probably would play the clip that shows her sitting in the dirt with the chickens.
Not sitting in the humongous garden with the 47 hundred Armani dress.
No.
She wanted to be perceived as specially authentic, natural and even vulnerable every time anyone
played that clip.
And most probably the news outlets were going to play this clip alongside photos of the
Royal Wedding.
Talk about contrast.
That's why she straight up lied, to bait everyone in exposing her and repeating that statement,
and that clip, over and over again.
That's why she even included that preMEditated nose touch, to lure people into claiming that
she was telling a lie.
And that would only reinforce how she wants to be perceived.
Regardless of what is your opinion about Meghan Markle, this was really well thought and planned
in advance.
She made the world act exactly as she wanted.
It's a real shame that she did not use this power for the Royal Foundation initiatives,
but instead, for personal gain and exposure.
But there's one thing that's still missing in this puzzle.
And nlan is Harry.
There has been this ongoing narrative that Harry is an imprisoned man, that Meghan controls
him and he is under some kind of spell.
I know, because I've made quite a few memes about this trope in my Instagram account.
But I no longer believe in that narrative, and the more you think about it, Harry is
absolutely responsible of endorsing each and every one of these attacks on the British
Monarchy.
The same Monarchy that gave Meghan her title and now she uses every time she calls for
Chinese delivery.
So, this is not that Harry is ALLOWING all this to happen, no.
He's ACTIVELY involved in this.
And he's absolutely aware of how this was going to hurt his grandmother Her Majesty
The Queen.
He was there and he literally said, yes, it was the three of us.
It was an intimate wedding.
- Just the three of us - Just the three of us
There's this rule of thumb called Hanlon's razor, that states "you should never attribute
to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".
But then, what is the level of stupidity that we would be talking about?
And that would be like lifting any responsibility away from him.
That would be too easy.
So let's call this what it is.
A planned attack on his own family with only one goal in mind.
Profits.
Let's see how far can he go with such a strategy.
