What Royal SECRETS, LIES, & TRUTHS Does Body Language Expose? – Meghan & Harry's Oprah Interview

what royal secrets does body language reveal in megan and harry sit down interview with oprah and what's the truth find out next welcome back to the channel shakers dark van shake here first i am not a royal watcher so i'm not on team kate or team megan or anything like that i don't personally care whether anyone is lying or telling the truth so i'm just gonna call it how i see it as many of you know former prince harry and former duchess princess meghan markle left the british royal family in january of 2020 which was nicknamed by the tabloids mexit because it was believed that megan didn't want the royal life that she married into by marrying prince harry on may 19 2018. there were rumors about what happened and what was going on behind palace closed doors however it was mostly speculation because none of the british royals spoke openly to the media about what exactly happened until now when oprah sat down with megan and harry where they revealed their side of things which led to them leaving the british royal family now permanently but were they truthful in this interview or did they lie to save face so we're gonna break down their body language and analyze their verbal dynamics to finally reveal what actually happened behind palace closed doors now let's get started [Laughter] you really are having a bear having a baby that's more than a bump having a baby i didn't even know she was pregnant and i forgot that they already had a kid too i was like oh is this their first kid no no they already have a kid we can't hug because we're practicing doing things doing all the things we've been so strict everybody around here the first thing that we notice is that they're not wearing masks but they assure us that all of the people that are working on the set who are like 20 feet away from each other they're wearing like three masks double masked and has face shields you look lovely thank you so do you megan is wearing a long black dress it's always important especially in these types of interviews that are very very public and are very groundbreaking that are going to get a lot of attention and the person knows that they're usually going to think very hard about what they're going to wear so because of all that extra forethought and thinking we should probably break down the logic of her wearing what she's wearing if you notice she has very long sleeves very long dress just a tiny bit of cleavage and given the circumstances that it appears to be a very nice day in california there wearing a long black dress with long sleeves the logic is probably to come across as conservatively dressed as possible which will help increase her credibility in this interview it doesn't necessarily mean of course she's wearing that to cover up the facts or try to deceive people or anything like that she probably wants to come across as more conservative and her words taken more seriously this isn't my house this isn't your house this is my house we're using a friend's house are they really saying that megan and harry and oprah didn't have anywhere nice to do the interview in their whole big estates because they had a very nice beautiful oprah is a billionaire so a billionaire's mansion doesn't have anywhere nice to do an interview maybe it's because their houses look too nice they look too palatial that could have been it when you came through that door it seemed like you were like floating down the aisle no that's just what money can buy you if you have a lot of money you can make it look very magical that's pretty much how it works were you even inside your body at that time but you weren't just marrying a family you're marrying the monarchy what did you think it was going to be like i will say i went into it naively she nods her head there's no waiver in her voice there's no odd face touches she does seem to be very truthful what's very interesting however is look her eyebrows are raised i will say i went into it naively indicating her innermost feelings of surprise remembering back how she felt regarding this topic so what this genuinely seems to tell us is that she felt surprised by how it was to be a royal because i didn't grow up knowing much about the royal family and she moved her hair away from her face clearly indicating that she had hair in her face that's usually a typical mistake of amateur body language readers is that they think any major movement is profound i didn't grow up knowing much about the royal family it wasn't something as an american i can relate to her and maybe if you're an american you have an idea of what i'm saying too we don't really know too much about the royal family we don't really keep up with it so much unless you're a royal watcher you basically know whatever comes up on the news or what's in the supermarket tabloids as you're walking down the aisles so that's pretty much the extent that we americans know of the royals i don't even know how many kids william and kate have i mean it must be around eight or so at this point going to marry a royal then you would do research about what that would mean well i didn't do any research but i didn't do any research no research it's not something you could just google how do i be a princess in the british royal family what do i need to know maybe she could have spoke in depth to all the british royal family what it is to be in the royal family and what it's like and i'll be shocked if she didn't have that conversation with kate middleton kind of like you were a commoner how was that transition like and what were the expectations i didn't romanticize any element of it so she starts talking about not romanticizing any element of being royal okay now when i hit play who watch this but i think as americans especially what do you know about the royals it's what you read in fairy tales right you think is what you know about the royals right but she got most of her knowledge of the royal family from fairy tales i got a lot of disney movies i did my research she watched cinderella sleeping beauty beauty and the beast i think as much as she said that she didn't romanticize it at all i think in a lot of ways she accidentally did they're so perfect on stage and everything looks so great they couldn't possibly be acting like any normal family there's an old saying everyone's normal until you get to know them but i think the difference that she was experiencing is that it's very very public it's all out in the public and everyone wants to know who's doing what who likes who who's mad at who it's a totally different dynamic than any typical private family that you and i may be familiar with so it's a lot of extra pressure and frankly nonsense that they have to deal with because everyone else is interested in what's going on in their family so it's easy to have an image of it that is so far from from reality similarly like the perception vs reality on instagram how perfect everyone's life is and how basically your life sucks and how everyone's life is so wonderful and perfect but in reality it took two hours to prepare for that picture one hour to take the picture and then another hour to edit the picture and that's what was really tricky over those past few years is when the perception and the reality are two very different things and you're being judged on the perception but you're living the reality of it there's a complete misalignment and there's no way to explain that to people basically is what she's exposing is that the family that she married into isn't as perfect as they want you to believe but a lot of times we naturally believe what we see we see them all perfect and looking great then we think naturally it's the halo effect oh well they must be perfect then because they look perfect and we talked about this type of thing the halo effect and the devil horns effect on my more on scott peterson video on my more channel so if you want to know more about the halo effect and the devil horns effect you can go check out that video later well you know in every family i think things get serious when you are brought in to meet the mother or the grandmother what was that like were you worried about making the right impression um there wasn't actually a huge formality the first time i met um her majesty the queen i see her shift in her seat when she says her majesty the queen her majesty the queen i indicating something what she's remembering back to made her feel uncomfortable we also see her increase her blink rate while also looking away she's remembering back on something that doesn't seem like it was a good memory let's keep watching harry and i are in the car and he says okay well my grandmother's there so you're going to meet her oh great i love grandpa i loved my grandmother i used to take care of my grandmother this is great he goes right do you know how to curtsy oh boy you're not a cutscene to the queen clearly what made megan feel uncomfortable thinking back to this before that you saw was probably this grandson your girlfriend didn't cuts it to me who doesn't think they are i'm the queen i think americans who aren't royal watchers could really relate to her i wouldn't be thinking i need to bow to the grandmother of my girlfriend what he said do you know how to curtsy now i thought genuinely that that was what happens outside yeah i thought that was part of the fanfare or it's just so odd to think that that kind of formality continues behind closed doors what it's just so far into me and i think it may be foreign to you and certainly it was far into her too i wouldn't think i would need to bow to the queen if i was basically family i don't think that's what happens inside and i said but it's your grandmother he goes it's the queen she gives a genuine smile with her eyes open her eyebrows raised indicating that she opened her eyes to it like oh it's not just the public type of thing she's the queen even when the doors are closed so it's understandable that she would want to empathize and agree with and be aligned with harry on this topic that clearly means a lot to harry because he grew up in this it's a maintain their figurehead position in society i mean and you may be wondering about the body language of curtsying and bowing what it basically says physically is that you are beneath them i mean that's what it is it's literally saying that lowering yourself down below where they are indicates that you are inferior and they're superior but again coming from an american culture we don't really believe that early at all i mean at least outwardly we don't believe that someone is more inferior than the other our country is founded on democracy which is more founded on equality or at least it was supposed to be that way um where two parties are equal that's why handshakes are just pre-covered uh we're nice because if done properly indicate equality and mutual respect for one another because what it's saying is that we are human we are equal but it's very easy i think especially as an american to go oh these are famous people it's like no this is this is a completely different ball game you say the narrative with kate it didn't happen so specifically did you make kate cry someone made somebody cry we need to figure out who did watch your body language see what you think then we'll break it down no did you pick up on it let's break it down can't believe this is actually an issue no a very common mistake of an amateur reading body language is not understanding context clusters and situations someone doing this in one context cluster and situation is different than them doing this in a different context cluster and situation so in this situation context and cluster in a time when she's asked point blank did she or did she not make someone cry she raises her eyebrows in what's called defying gravity and as she's saying no she gives a congruent head shake no and then notice what happens with her body language she purses her lips really really tightly in what seems to be possibly holding back some duping delight and also doesn't say anything more no you may be saying wait a second so there's some congruency with her body language of giving a head shake and saying no and also some little indications of possible deception what this all says is that she's holding something back she's not giving the whole story let's keep watching to see how all this plays out and see what else we can find so where did that come from she bats her eyes while looking away indicating thought while also keeping her lips tightly pursed now watch what happens here also the silence indicates that she doesn't know exactly what to say or maybe how to say something indicates apprehension and holding back something this is why context is extremely important in body language we know that she's not being very open with what happened with kate here we don't know exactly why or what exactly it is let's keep watching here when oprah interrupts her and see what you think of her body language was there a situation did you catch it megan was clearly startled here by oprah did you notice her shoulders suddenly rise up in self-defense was there a situation also taking a little bit of a gasping gulp was there a situation so the big question here is why though why is she so self-defensive here it could be anything from a lie or it could be i just don't want to say certain things and i i feel uncomfortable kind of talking about this and maybe it will further ruin the relationship that she has with kate but what we clearly know here is that she's holding back a lot and is not being very transparent where she might have cried or she couldn't no the reverse happened and i don't say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something but i didn't make her cry she made me cry if i had to guess i would say it would be one of those things where they were both hurt by something and it came out in the tabloids that kate was hurt and then megan's like hey wait a second i'm the one that should be hurt what the heck this may be her here counteracting all the blame that she was given for that interaction that she had with kate the story came out six seven seven months after it actually happened yeah so when i have i would have never wanted that to come out about her see something very interesting here it's basically megan saying hey i feel like i'm not the one that's spreading things or putting out bad press about kate and i could have done that kind of thing and why is it that all these bad things are coming out about me seven months after it happened it seems like someone on the inside is attack dogging me that seems to be what she's saying seems like the tabloids had to make a good princess first bad princess type of narrative and they already had kate is the good princess and it was so easy just to peg her as the bad princess i think a lot of it for megan at least the way that she feels is that she was set up in this whether it's completely true or not that's the way it seems like she feels and her emotions in her body language seem to be authentic if you love me you don't have to hate her and if you love her you don't need to hate me and this right here is just absolutely terrible of what the tabloids did they're always looking for some story and they always make up narratives and stupid crap and they try to manifest it frankly within the family because the tabloids don't care about them and their relationship between the two women they don't care all they care about is selling magazines in the supermarket do you think there was a standard for kate in general and a separate one for you and if so why um i don't know why when she says she doesn't know why she is lying she knows why because look at her closed-lipped wide-eyed smile she seems to know why but it's just not ready to get into it yet i can see now what layers were at play there um and again they really seem to want a narrative of a hero and a villain now we start hearing about it from her angle and the way that she wants to be talking about it were you silent or were you silenced the latter she personally believes that her body language is very congruent and keep in mind too this is their side of the story and this is specifically how she views what happened to her and what it was like being part of the royal family i'm sure other people in the family will have their own perspectives but this is her perspective even as things started to roll out in the media that i didn't see but my friends would call me and say meg this is really bad because i didn't see it i'd go don't worry i'm being protected i believed that my first impression when i was hearing about all this i was like well if you're in that position you cannot be reading the tabloids you just can't it'll drive you crazy but she wasn't really reading everything but people were telling her hey you're not reading things and the palace people are not protecting your reputation or anything like that the palace was possibly feeding into the whole narrative of good princess and bad princess or they were not actively correcting the tabloids it appears she believes that to be true but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family but they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband we see a lot of congruency with a congruent head nod as well as her stable eye contact there are no red flags where we would believe that she's being deceptive at all here we don't see any nervous twitches or any defensive body language when she's saying that she believes what she's saying is true and it's important to be able to compartmentalize that because the queen for example how is the queen's relationship actually with megan watch here then we'll break it down has always been wonderful to me this one's a little tough to figure out because there is some conflicting body language and you only really know how she really feels at the end there's two parts in this first we see her do a very odd incongruent head shake as she's looking away has always been and she closes her eyes stumbles a little bit has always been is she lying here she's not lying part two of this we see her give a very congruent head nod wonderful to me as she smiles calling the queen wonderful to her so here's a psychological breakdown of what was going on through her head as she was talking here she was asked the question and starts shaking her head a head nod head shake is very unreliable the word that was probably going through her head was unbelievable when you think unbelievable you shake your head you don't nod your head too unbelievable that's one of the many problems when evaluating someone with head nod or head shake what megan was probably thinking was unbelievable and then slowed down and stuttered a little bit because her body language was out of sync with the word that she wanted to convey in the interview which was wonderful he had to change from a head shake to a head nod to make the word wonderful feel good and feel normal and natural and that seemed to be the little bit of a hiccup there where she stuttered and closed her eyes has always been wonderful to me because she needed to subconsciously reset her body language megan apparently subconsciously wanted to be emphatic about the queen being wonderful to her and then she ends on a very authentic and genuine smile has always been wonderful to me which seems to even further confirm that the queen is wonderful to her i mean we had one of our first joint engagement together she asked me to join her and i was on the train yeah on the train and we had breakfast together that morning and she'd given me a beautiful gift and i just really loved being in her company and as megan proactively talks about how the queen is wonderful to her even further indicates megan's positive feelings to the queen people naturally talk about and focus on what they want to focus on so if she's proactively focusing on all the positives with the queen clearly there are those authentic positive feelings that she has towards the queen and it made me think of my grandmother where she's always been warm and inviting and and really welcoming so okay so she made you feel welcome did you feel welcome now we see megan's eyes get glassy here as she's remembering back to her grandma and how the queen reminds her of her grandma this here is very congruent very authentic body language the firm would say well you can't do this because it'll look like that you can't so even can i go and have lunch with my friends no no you're oversaturated you're everywhere it would be best for you to not go out to lunch with your friends yeah that is fascinating at least for me as an american who doesn't really follow any of this that there is what she at least calls the firm which seems to manage the pr of the royal family indicating that what we see and what you see in tabloids and you know who goes where and everything like that is apparently all orchestrated oh you're in too many magazines let it breathe a little bit maybe you can go out later and then you can be in some magazines later but right now you're all over the place i mean what the heck i guess it kind of makes sense but man it seems kind of complicated right it's a lot easier just to be like hey i'm just going to live my life and it is what it is they want to take a picture make up some stupid story that's just what it is they apparently to some extent work with the tabloids so that maybe some in the royal family can get more favorable coverage in the tabloids do you think it's because of his race and i know that's a loaded question but but i can give you an honest answer in those months when i was pregnant all around this same time so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security it's not going to be given a title right here this is the part that a lot of people are focused on and for good reason it's quite shocking see what you think of our body language and then we'll break it down as we go and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born so far what do you think we don't see any signs of deception no nervousness no defensiveness no self-comforting gestures just extremely congruent and honest body language let's keep going what and even more congruent body language look at her eyes look how glassy they are this is something that was hurtful she's extremely truthful about this who is having that conversation with you yes even more congruent body language and you can tell looking at her eyes is very hurtful to her her eyes are becoming glassy her eyebrows are going down a little bit what so um now as the camera flips back on her you see her adjust her dress a little bit as she's pressed on it surely because she's feeling uncomfortable talking about this because it seems like she doesn't really know how to talk about something like this without throwing a royal under the bus so apparently she does not want to reveal who said that to harry there is a conversation hold up hold up they're separate there are several conversations there's a conversation with you with harry about how dark your baby is going to be potentially and what that would mean or look like i would sit up at night and i realized that it was all happening just because i was breathing and that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought so that i've never felt this way before and i need to go somewhere and i was told that i couldn't that it wouldn't be good for the institution there are so many people who are afraid to voice that they need help and i know personally how hard it is to not just voice it but when you voice it to be told no that's that's just really sad to think that someone is feeling that kind of depression and they go to someone for help a stranger came to me saying i feel depressed i need help i'm gonna try and help them but just to think that the institution was just like it's really really sad and so i went to human resources but there's nothing we can do to protect you because you're not a paid employee of the institution that seems to be their bs excuse and begging for help nothing was ever done so we had to find a solution these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear clarification and i'm scared because this is very real this isn't some abstract idea this is methodical and this is not who i am it takes so much courage to voice that as i said i was ashamed to admit that you need help to admit how dark of a place you're in she was clearly having trouble and she's very honest about this now and it's sad and shocking that they don't go proactively and try to help her so it makes all of us wonder why though why wouldn't they want to help her is it because maybe her mental downfall is good for the tabloids and diverts all the tabloids negative news to her as the bad princess and keeps the tabloids at bay or maybe because they felt that they couldn't have a mental health person coming to the palace is it because they still have a backwards thinking and a stigma of mental health it's just really really really sad wasn't planning to say anything shocking i'm just telling you what's happened okay i'm sorry if it shocked you it's been a lot i'm a little shocked it's been a lot i did not expect to have this much to say on this um wow so what we're going to do is split this video up into two parts this is the megan only part and meg and harry together is gonna probably be a second part but i need to know whether this is something you really want to see so if you want to see part two of the body language read of megan and harry together give this video a thumbs up so i know you want to see it if this video doesn't get probably over like 5 000 likes within a shorter period of time may not make the video so i really need to know whether you want to see a second part because i don't know now in the comments what is the most shocking part of this interview so far let everyone know in the comments below if you're not already subscribed hit that subscribe button now because if you don't miss out on new body language investigative videos always seem to shake up youtube and i'll see you
