Meghan Markle's every gesture becomes fodder for curiosity and controversy. Under the microscope, where each movement is scanned, the subtle arc of a smile, the mere tremble of a hand, says it all. Over the weekend, the Duchess strode into a heart-wrenching setting, joining the annual memorial ceremony held by her long-time friend Kelly McKee Zajfen. As cameras clicked and body language experts watched, Markle's poised exterior leaked visible emotion.

A closer examination of her body language, revealed a lot more than meets the eye.

Meghan Markle was visibly moved to tears, a silent witness to sorrow, solidarity and the burden of loss at Kelly McKee Zajfen's annual Memorial Day to commemorate her deceased son, George Zajfen. Dissecting images and moments captured from her attendance at the memorial, body-language expert Judi James discussed exclusively with the Express US that Markle was "in front and totally visible" while her husband Prince Harry was standing behind her with his hand resting in his pocket, a posture indicating her taking the emotional charge and him providing support.

James noted the subtle, accurate moves of Markle swinging her purse, which is an indicator of "heightened emotions," per the outlet. Markle dabbed at tears beneath her eyes, a delicate, public-appropriate display of sadness, and a gentler form of crying that "the royals tend to favor," per James. The professional deemed it typical of a public figure attempting to control emotional "overspill" without descending into "face-crumpling and chin-wobbling" sobbing. Despite scruity, Markle's non-verbal conduct expressed both pain and partnership towards her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen.

Meghan Markle shares nearly two decades of memories with one of her closest and oldest friends, the former model, Kelly McKee Zajfen. Their long friendship is rooted in trust, and they found strength in grief since McKee Zajfen unexpectedly lost her nine-year-old son, George Zajfen, in 2022.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have supported McKee Zajfen in various ways through their grief-stricken years. From setting up GoFundMe for her late son to appearing at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala with her and publicly endorsing the annual George Zajfen Tennis Tournament, Markle stood by her as she does with the social causes dear to her. At the time of mutual grief and palpable unity, Meghan Markle's tears were more potent than any statement could be.
