By stepping on the net curtains and on the central balcony of Buckingham Palace, it has been a royal transition ritual for generations.
Only three weeks after getting married to Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex shone while making her balcony debut when the color on June 9, 2018. But Meghan looked much less confident when she was in the same place for the last time later a year later.
After giving birth to her first son Prince Archie for less than a month prior to the color on 8 June 2019, which marked the 93rd birthday of the Late Queen, the Duchess wore a navy dress with short sleeves through Givenchy and a matching hat of Noel Stewart while she was standing in front of her husband.
Only speaking to MailOnline, body language expert Judi James said that this positioning would have felt her 'nervous', 'isolated' and as if 'she had lost her wingman'.
“It placed him out of sight of her when it came to taking non-verbal signals to help her” find it good, “she said.
The reporting of the event shows the royals who talk among themselves, where Harry turns from Meghan to talk to someone on his left side. His aunt, Sophie Wessex, cousin Lady Louise Windsor and the husband Jack Brooksbank of Princess Eugenie were all nearby.
Meghan then turns around with her husband, with Judi who explains that she was 'looking for a friendly face' during the controversial appearance and tried to participate in 'some of the little talk the others, including Harry, were busy with'.
But instead of comforting his wife with 'a loving smile' and explaining that she should not turn her back on the thousands of benefactors who have been collected in Buckingham Palace, Harry seems to break to Meghan and tell her as if she were an 'naughty child'.

In the clip the Duchess seems to say something to her husband, which appeals to Harry's short answer.
At the time, the mailonline lure reader confirmed that he said, “Yes, that's right,” as if he answered her question.
After half turning around to face the front, Meghan waves around again, at which point Harry apparently cuts: “Turn around.”
When she kept looking at him, Harry added: “Look,” while she explicitly nodded at the front of the balcony.
The national anthem starts to play while the Duchess turns around to see the admiring crowds again.
“Harry's body language seems to do little to support or protect her,” said Judi.
“He should have been the one who was responsible for hosting his wife in the UK and helping her to make her way through the Royal Protocol rules.
“Instead, when she turns around, his expression does not seem to stay and in the second turn, he seems to force the royal protocol with a meaningful and rather authoritative eyebrow flash.”

While the Duchess turns her husband, she seems visibly unhappy.
“Meghan was a successful, self -assured woman,” said Judi. 'The gesture of Harry is more like the way you would encourage a naughty child.
'Her facial expression looks unhappy when she turns around. Her control rituals suggest that she is clearly trying to get it right, but perhaps prefer a friendly loving smile instead of the warning of the eyebrows here. '
After analyzing the uncomfortable images, the body language expert said: 'It is difficult not to feel sympathy for Meghan here.
'She is still new in the company and the balcony moments are the most formal and globally visible appearances of the royal family massively.
“Stand high on a balcony, while the public watch and the cheers traditionally emphasize the superiority and higher class of the royals from below, and that's why they often do to the extreme to ensure that they” get it right. “
Judi added: 'Even William has been told famous by the [late] Queen for bending while he was on the balcony to talk to his little son, so the pressure on Meghan, who was the one who aroused the interest and fascination of everyone at this stage, was intense. '
In 2016, the deceased queen saw the then Duke of Cambridge on his arm while he squatted down to take care of a noisy Prince George.

Accurate research of the moment seems to show that the late Monarch says: 'stand Up William' – with her words made clearer with an upward movement hand gesture.
William, the future king, then stood up and looked rather sheepishly. It seems that you are never too old or important for telling your grandmother.
Trooping the Color in 2019 would mark Meghan's last performance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
The Sussexes officially arrived as working Royals in 2020 and only returned to the UK in 2022 to introduce their children Archie and Lilibet to the late queen.
