Meghan Markle is said to be “making her focus very clear” as she is “prepping for a brand-new solo career” following her grand return to social media,

a body language expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex returned on Instagram on New Year’s Day after a hiatus following her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 and made two new posts – one of which included the trailer for her new cookery show on Netflix, and another which showed her at the beach,

wearing white and drawing 2025 in the sand.

Body language and behavioural expert Darren Stanton claimed the duchess came across as “extremely confident” in her new trailer with “no signs of awkwardness” as she signalled more projects without her husband, Prince Harry, who only appeared briefly in the clip. He also noted that Meghan showed “a state of enjoyment at being the centre of attention” with non-verbal signs.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, the expert said: “It almost feels through this clip that Meghan is creating her own solo career, this is the beginning of a new era for her. She comes across as extremely confident with her body language, smiling a lot. She’s making her focus very clear, which is doing projects on a solo basis. She doesn’t come over as awkward at all; she comes across as uber-confident and excited on camera. Meghan is almost signalling that she is prepping herself for a brand-new solo career.

“She’s enjoying the moment and being the centre of the limelight. Often we see Harry get the attention when they’re together, but here, it’s focused on her. We don’t see any signs of fear or frustration from Meghan, she’s very happy. From a non-verbal perspective, we see lots of open-palm gestures, no arms crossed or anything like that. In the trailer, she’s coming across relaxed and happy, and in a state of enjoyment at being the centre of attention.”
