Meghan Markle struggles to recover from 'awkward move' after 'toe-curling' award snub

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Meghan Markle seemed to suffer a humiliating snub at Kevin Costner's star-studded charity event last week when she was ignored not once, but twice.

The former Suits actress reached out for a microphone at the event last Friday only for the lady holding it to walk right past her.It's also been reported that Prince Harry allegedly later told someone to give his wife the microphone but was also awkwardly blanked.

Body language expert Judi James has now opened up on her thoughts about the embarrassing scenario and what it might mean for the Duchess of Sussex, the Mirror reports.Judi told the Mirror: "Meghan seems to have got the choreography all wrong here, creating a medium-sized toe-curling moment that appears to set of a chain of mini-errors."Meghan manages to retain a gracious pose almost throughout until her smile drops right at the end, but Harry uses compensatory gestures to suggest levels of awkwardness." Judi added: "When Meghan walks onto the stage and a compere steps up with a mic, Meghan’s knee-jerk assumption seems to be that she is being invited to do a speech.

Meghan grabs the stem of the mic but the compere holds on and it is quickly clear that it wasn’t intended for Meghan. "Meghan’s technique for trying to retain a sense of control and dignity is to put her hand on the compere’s upper arm to signal dominance and to gesture them in the direction they were walking as though steering. "Her hands are then kept held up and out in the ‘grab’ position and, rather than perform a truncated gesture that might suggest she had the wrong idea about the mic, she instead moves across to use the pre-fabricated ‘grab’ gesture to pick up an award from the table instead, for no apparent reason other than to save face."Judi
