Kate Middleton took an icy look at Meghan Markle over the weekend at Windsor Castle to “freeze” her, according to a body language expert.
“Unlike the confident Meghan we know, Meghan seemed uncomfortable during this encounter, which is not surprising given the recent criticism she has received,” Katia Loisal told Australia’s Seven News.
She pointed out that Middleton’s husband, Prince William, appeared to be making an effort with his sister-in-law, but claimed that the newly appointed Princess of Wales’s stares made it seem like she was trying to ‘freeze’ Markle.
“On numerous occasions, Meghan looked at Kate, but the gaze was not returned,” Loisal said, adding that Middleton seemed to be “looking” through Markle instead.
Loisal believes Middleton, 40, was successful in her apparent intent to make Markle, 41, uncomfortable.
“Meghan’s hand went up hesitantly as if to wave, but stopped halfway in the air, rather pausing to adjust her hair, her head and gaze down, before looking up and making a quick wave, her arm coming back around in front of her body. resting in a partial arm barrier,” explained the body language expert.
Another body language expert, Judi James, told the Daily Mail she saw “no signs of affection” between William, 40, and Middleton and Markle and her husband, William’s younger brother Prince Harry.
The two couples’ reunion at Windsor Castle in London on Sunday marked the first time they had been seen together in public since Commonwealth Day on March 9, 2020, ahead of the COVID-19 lockdown.
While greeting crowds that gathered to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, Middleton and Markle appeared to avoid eye contact with each other.
As the outing drew to a close, the women eventually set out to separate vehicles with their respective husbands.

Markle and Middleton have fueled feud rumors over the years, most notably when the “Suits” alum claimed the latter made her cry before her 2018 wedding.
Harry, 38, and Markle caused a significant rift in the royal family after they infamously gave up royal duties and moved to California in January 2020.
A royal source previously told Vidak For Congress that the family appreciates the “Fab Four” temporarily putting aside their differences to honor the late Queen.
“We are all very grateful – both parties are putting all things aside for the Queen,” the insider said.
