Meghan's fans claim that she is authentic.
And I would have no problem to agree with that...
IF we knew which one was the REAL Meghan.
And if that doesn't make sense, wait until you see her with Craig Ferguson, and you'll
understand what I mean.
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!
People ask me, why do you keep doing videos about Meghan? and it's because of this.
Every time I go on Twitter or Instagram, and people pitch me a Meghan clip, it's like Forrest
Gump's box of chocolates.
I never know what I'm gonna get.
Will it be...
Royal Victim Meghan? or Ellen's Puppet Meghan? or Legendary Activist Meghan? or "I'm sorry
your Honor, but I suffer from selective amnesia" Meghan?
That is both exciting and confusing at the same time.
And I'm really thankful for all your submissions, especially when they are gems like this one:
- Hello, Meghan!
- Hello!
- Wow, you look sensational!
- Thank you!
- Is that one of those swanky designer dresses?
well, that's really working!
- Thank you!
- Well done!
I mean, the show suits is the #1 show on TV?
Now, I'm sure that you noticed something off with Meghan's attitude and especially with
her body language.
And you might think that since this is an interview from a few years back, in 2013,
then... maybe her attitude has changed.
I'm talking about these kind of displays, when Ferguson compliments her and she visibly
reacts to the compliments in a very bubbly way.
Now, let's take a closer look at three specific moments, in slow motion, so you can better
define why your intuition is telling you to run for the nearest exit:
This way you could take a better look at her body language reaction to the compliment,
including a very subtle clue of flirting that is touching her own skin.
That's something that women do both consciously or unconsciously when flirting.
It's a gesture a lot like stroking or shaking their hair.
That helps spread pheromones, and helps to give men the sensation of how would it feel
to touch their hair or their skin.
Of course, not EVERY time a woman touches her own skin is flirting.
Maybe she likes you or maybe she has EXczema.
It helps to pay attention to other signals.
But the fact is that Meghan's body language here is a bit odd, because first she's bubbly,
then one split second later she turns her facial expression to a serious one...
that's just for an instant, but it's there, and then she tries to play bubbly again with
those really broad gestures in front of her face.
Maybe you didn't notice that consciously, but at the same time she did those ample gestures
to act enthusiAstic, she clenched her fists.
She's tense.
And now, maybe you're asking yourself the question, what does this have to do with being
authentic?
Well, a very crude, but useful SYnonim of being authentic is, being yourself.
As in, you're acting as YOUR own persona, you have the luxury of displaying your own
personality.
And if you only know Meghan for her royal and non royal records, then this behavior
is a bit off.
That must explain why right at the end of the first clip she behaves like she's a lizard
trying to fix her human costume.
Yes... this is also worth watching in slow motion.
Right there.
She pushes her head back to the point of making that odd grin with her mouth.
It's... strange, to say the least
I think that it counts as a Markle Mask slip.
But now, you might be thinking, "how could you judge this poor woman for just 15 seconds
of footage"?
And I don't have to answer that.
The next clip speaks for itself.
- The suits - Yeah, (laughs) I'm your fan
- Well, I wear a lot of suits in my own life - A certain fond that you have just by virtue
of the name - I've never seen the show
- (laughs)
Now, by this point you've already noticed that Meghan was seriously trying too hard.
This is not 'herself', so to speak.
And one of the perks of that forced laughter at the end is that we at least understand
why this does not feel like the usual Meghan that we know.
Because she's just trying too hard.
And...
It's not like a forced, fake laughter is bad.
In fact, Jimmy Fallon has made a career out of his.
I absolutely understand that being a professional of acting is not easy and you'd better always
do your best impression.
But maybe the next clip is taking things a bit too far:
- You can pinch me, I'm real.
You see?
Oh, yes.
No, I'm from here.
I'm from here.
- I just wanted to do it again... strangely hairless body you have
Well, that interaction was not creepy in itself.
The only problem is that we have never seen Meghan behave like this.
And that's what immediately triggers anyone's silent alarms.
Like there's something off here.
Of course, part of the creepiness factor is Ferguson's commentary about Meghan's "strangely
hairless body".
I think that was off.
Maybe it didn't help that Meghan was dressed like she was about to pull a Catherine Tramell
live.
And I know that this is going to hurt a lot of people's feelings, but it's one of life's
harshest rules.
People treat you, first and foremost, not by how you treat them, but by how you look.
How you dress, no matter if you're a man or a woman, and no matter your age, is paramount.
AFTER people have perceived you, AFTER those first seven seconds that include your clothing,
your body language, your attitude, your voice tone... it's only AFTER that first impression
that, how you treat them, begins to count.
Even so, I would really like to know what is your opinion about Meghan's choice of dress
for this interview.
Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
I already mentioned that I usually don't know what's the Meghan I'm going to meet right
before opening a clip.
And that has nothing to do with the fact that she's an actress.
Because any actor or actress has their own REAL personality, and precisely these kind
of talk shows are made so we can get a glimpse into the 'real' personalities of them.
To get to know them better.
To get to know the 'real' people behind the characters they play.
And it doesn't help when nicknames come into play:
- You like being called Meg?
- Yeah!
I like being called Meg, NutMeg...
- NutMeg?
Well, NutMeg.
It gets really hard to understand your point of being a feminist, which is one of the numbers
of the Meghan Lottery, when you build up jokes about catholic schoolgirls in uniform:
- It's a very perverse place for a girl who went to catholic school, nonetheless to grow
up, because I went in my school uniform...
- Oh yes...?
It's a joke!
Yeah, a joke... maybe it could work better in Japan.
I'm sure you've seen those people, most probably at your workplace, that they behave in a certain
way with the bosses, another way with colleagues and yet another way with subordinates.
That tells a lot about them, because if you see someone treating people differently depending
on their status, you don't need to read their body language.
You already know they are arseholes.
That's why so many people doubt about Meghan's intentions and supposed 'authenticity'.
Because it's so hard to pinpoint which one is the 'real' Meghan and which ones are the
facades.
And the only solace I get is that I hope that at least ONE person has met the TRUE Meghan.
And that person MIGHT be Harry.
Well, at least, it would explain THAT face.
