Royal Family LIVE: Meghan Markle ‘appears lost’ as she makes appearance without Harry

Meghan Markle was seen for the first time in almost three weeks this Saturday without Prince Harry by her side.

The 43-year-old appeared on a red carpet at a gala for the LA Children’s Hospital, wearing a scarlet Carolina Herrera gown she wore previously in 2021.

While she appeared to be all smiles, a royal expert said the duchess looked “lost” without Prince Harry, who had been in New York, the UK, and Africa for his own solo engagements.

Body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL: “For a confident woman who is used to cameras and red carpets she acts grateful to see and join her friend here. The body language ritual that she follows seems to be deliberate signalling of her current state as Harry is off on his solo tour.

“Meghan performs signals of coyness and even shyness plus a subliminal desire to have someone take over the lead from Harry, as though she is somehow lost without him on the red carpet or wanting to suggest she is feeling more vulnerable and girlishly playful than usual.”
