<p id=”par-1_28″>Netflix has dropped the trailer for the latest installment of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series titled <em>With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration</em> ahead of the show’s release on Dec. 3.</p>
<p id=”par-2_76″>‘Tis the season for being festive, sharing joy, and spreading love. The show’s description promises to capture all of that, and you are “invited to join Meghan at home in Montecito, California, as she shares how she likes to make this time with family and friends especially memorable and meaningful. Together, they deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs — and give you simple how-tos to follow at home.”</p>
<p id=”par-3_44″>Many of the complaints about Season 1 and 2 of <em>With Love, Meghan</em> is that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markles-netflix-series-brutally-called-out-as-unbearable-to-watch-its-clear-she-cant-cook.html/”>nothing the duchess did felt “authentic”</a> or appeared “genuine.” And now the one-minute, 17-second trailer is garnering complaints of that again, especially when it comes to kissing her husband.</p>
<p id=”par-4_8″>Here’s what an expert is saying about that.</p>

<p id=”par-5_41″>Judi James is a behavioral and body language expert who has authored more than a dozen books on the topic. She analyzed the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/”>former <em>Suits</em> star</a>‘s actions in the trailer and the way she kissed Prince Harry as everything appeared “performative.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_77″>James told <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/2136237/meghan-markle-body-language-netflix-trailer”>Express</a>: “This kiss looks like something of a ‘box-ticking’ exercise from a woman who is seen skipping through her garden, clapping and smiling into mixing bowls to signal how she channels the magic of Christmas in the most idealistic way. The body language looks stylized and performative and this kiss with Harry appears to be a gesture of reward and praise for the fact that he has accepted a cameo role in this Meghan video.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_55″>James added that Harry’s actions of “mixing some small blob of food in a bowl or maybe enjoying his breakfast” looks “rather awkward and self-conscious … He still wins a bestowed kiss from his ecstatic wife, though, who seems to be floating through this video on a bubble of festive goodwill and breathless excitement. </p>
<p id=”par-8_33″>“Meghan stretches to kiss her surrendered-looking hubby with one hand around his neck and her own neck stretched and bared as she lands her lips on his in this expression of culinary-based love.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_20″>Another body language expert, Louise Mahler, analyzed a moment the two shared a kiss that looked anything but affectionate. </p>
<p id=”par-10_37″>Mahler pointed to the pair’s onstage kiss and Meghan’s behavior immediately after at the Opening Ceremony of the Invictus Games in 2022. She pointed out that the duchess “pushes [Harry] away and walks off” following their smooch.</p>
<p id=”par-11_66″>“The kiss … she has all the rhetoric but none of the body language of somebody who is actually affectionate,” Mahler opined (per <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1599528/Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-Invictus-Games-kiss-body-language-analysis-latest-news-vn” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Express</a>). “When he walked up, you would think you would lean forward and put your hands into a cuddle. Instead, she put her hands flat on his chest and stood bolt upright. He then kissed her but she pushes him away and walks off.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_19″>Mahler concluded her remarks by claiming that Meghan “has all the affection of an alley cat — not much.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_34″>And James previously shared her take on a kiss Meghan shared with Harry following a charity polo match in 2022, that had all the makings of a Hollywood number rather than a meaningful kiss.</p>
<p id=”par-14_54″>After taking a look at the images from that day, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/body-language-expert-points-major-difference-kate-middleton-kisses-prince-william-meghan-markle-kisses-prince-harry.html/”>James explained</a>, “Harry’s chest was puffed and Meghan’s torso was pressed into his side as the couple performed a lingering kiss on the mouth. Meghan’s head was thrown back and her neck was bared in a signal of romantic submission to her polo-playing husband.”</p>
