In a recent development that has caught the attention of royal watchers and political enthusiasts alike, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made a notable appearance in Prince Harry's Netflix series, "Heart of Invictus." Her demeanor and speech during the series have ignited speculation about her potential aspirations in the political arena.
The "Heart of Invictus" series, which focuses on the Invictus Games and its participants, saw Meghan expressing her deep appreciation for the athletes. In one of the episodes, she remarked, "Thank you so much for your service and thank you to all the family and friends who are here supporting you along the way. Because this is service, this is dedication, and this is the Invictus family."
Body language expert Judi James analyzed Meghan's behavior during the series and suggested that the Duchess might be contemplating a shift from royalty to legislature. James pointed out that Meghan's approach to addressing the athletes and the audience indicated a deep immersion in the Invictus cause. She noted Meghan's use of the "political trait of listing three points," a technique often employed to engage and resonate with audiences.
James further elaborated on Meghan's speech pattern, highlighting her introductory "Good evening everyone," followed by a pause and a giggle as the audience cheered. Such nuances, according to James, are indicative of a person who is not just a passive observer but an active participant in the cause.
The term "Invictus family," as used by Meghan, was also of interest to James. She opined that such inclusive language, coupled with Meghan's hand gestures for emphasis, portrayed her as an integral part of the Invictus community. The documentary also provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the couple, revealing the anxieties that often lurk behind public appearances.
Post their exit from the royal family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been in the limelight, sharing their story through various mediums, including a docuseries, memoir, and interviews. However, insiders close to the couple have indicated that they are keen to move beyond their royal past and focus on producing content that isn't tied to their former roles. "Heart of Invictus" marks the first release from their production company, Archewell, since Prince Harry's candid memoir, "Spare."
While Meghan's political aspirations, if any, remain a topic of speculation, her recent appearance has certainly added a new dimension to the conversation. As the Sussexes continue to chart their path post-royalty, the world watches with bated breath, curious about their next move.
