Meghan Markle “commands looks of respect” as she appears alongside Prince Harry in their latest Netflix documentary Polo, according to a body language expert.
The Duchess of Sussex appears in the final episode of Polo as she walks across the stage to hand Prince Harry a trophy.
The former actress also appears in the show when she talks to Polo players as if she was on a “royal visit”.
Body language expert Judi James suggested Meghan provides the “royal effect” whilst Harry and the players “giggle and chuckle like schoolboys”.

“Meghan’s presence provides the royal effect as she steps in to be introduced to a player and Harry steps back to chuckle at the sight of the player bending his head and offering a handshake and a giggle.”
“Meghan turns the shake into a hug and both Harry and the player giggle and chuckle like schoolboys.”
Speaking on Meghan’s brief appearance in episode five, James said: “Meghan is seen chatting as though on a royal visit and it’s Meghan extending a hand to touch her husband to invite him into the conversation.
“She also commands looks of respect and she walks across the stage to give Harry his trophy and he goes into playful mode, pointing to his chest as though to ask ‘Me?'”

“He clearly loves making his wife laugh but steps out of macho-player mode to do so, kissing her quickly and showing strong signals of pride here.”
James described the documentary as an “Eton Mess mash-up of Jilly Cooper and Towie.”
She added: “Harry’s love of the peacocking, macho world of Polo comes across clearly but when he and Meghan do appear in brief moments she is very emphatically not depicted as any Pimms-swigging, divot-trampling WAG.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are listed as executive producers and briefly appear throughout the five episodes.
