Meghan Markle 'mimics the excitement' of young girl and leaves fans 'gagging for more' in her new Instagram reel, a body language expert has said. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a video on Tuesday where she name-dropped a number of her A-lister pals - showing off how her enviable contact list helped her secure merch for a fan whose home had burned down in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. In the video shared to Instagram, Meghan shouted out Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, 45, and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, 36, for helping connect her with Eilish, 23.

According to body language expert, Judi James, the video offered a 'real narrative, rather than anything more actressy or regal' and Meghan appeared 'child-like' with excitable giggles and clapping hands. The duchess - who appeared makeup-free and casual in a jumper with her children's names, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, embroidered on the collar - conveyed 'normal' body language. Judi said this relaxed behaviour mimicked the 'intimate' filming style of 'influencers like Molly-Mae' with a 'one-to-one confiding style'.

The 'excitable' Suits star the left 'fans gagging for more' according to the expert, who predicted followers would be eager to see a 'follow-up Insta where we get to see her gifting and presumably hugging the young girl in person'. The actress and Prince Harry, 40 - who were recently branded 'disaster tourists' -recently visited the town of Altadena, which was completely ravaged by the fires in January.

Meghan Markle 'mimics the excitement' of young girl and leaves fans 'gagging for more' in a 'real' video shared to social media, a body language expert has said (pictured). In the video she revealed to followers that she had reached into her star studded contacts list to help source signed merchandise for a Billie Eilish fan whose home was burned down in the fires. According to Judi, Meghan expressed 'glee at her own actions' by 'clapping her hands in excitement'.
She explained: 'When she starts the video her tone and her non-verbals are more about the narrative, with a noted reference to 'My husband and I' but as she gets to the merchandise she seems to mimic the anticipated excitement of the young girl who will be receiving it, squealing as she picks up a signed album and holds it to the camera.'. Judi added that the low camera angle appeared 'unstructured' and her 'soft' vocal tone was used to 'emphasise the sense of intimate conversation, and she almost seems to be tiptoeing around her own house to make the video in secret'.
The body language expert continued: 'At one point her voice drops to an excited whisper as though she's scared of waking the kids.'. The home movie style videography is 'a presentation device of 'adorability' that makes the viewer feel they are sharing the moment by creeping around, colluding with their star like a best friend,' Judi mused. Presenting herself makeup-free in casual attire was also further evidence to her 'emphatically informal body language', said the expert.
'Meghan seems to have reverse-leap-frogged back to basics by channeling the intimate, one-to-one, confiding style of influencers like Molly-Mae etc,' Judi said. In the relaxed style of video, followers see Meghan exhibit 'normal' body language. In the video she revealed to followers that she had reached into her star studded contacts list to help source signed merchandise for a Billie Eilish fan who's home was burned down in the fires.
'We are shown 'normal' body language rituals like nose-rubbing, hair-tossing and even some arm-folding to suggest a lack of vanity here, which is a strong bonding and rapport trait that influencers like Molly-Mae use to create rapport with the viewer.'. Brimming with excitement, at the end of the video Meghan exclaimed 'I'm going to e-mail her mom now', which Judi said 'will breed matching excitement among her fans, with a sweet hand to head gesture'.
'It's unusual to cut out the middle man and record your own acts of kindness yourself but Meghan will have left fans gagging for a follow-up Insta,' she concluded. In the video, which was uploaded to Instagram yesterday, Meghan can be heard saying: 'Huge thank you, Billie Eilish, this is going to mean so much to her, and honestly, to Adam Levine and Bahati, you guys helped me get this over the line.'.
Adam Levine and his wife live near Meghan and Harry in the coveted community of Montecito, which could explain how they know each other. The couple bought a historic home in the area for $22.7 million (£18 million) back in 2021. Meanwhile Meghan and Harry bought their $14.65 million (£11 million) nine-bedroom home - which is now worth upwards of $29 million (£24 million) - back in 2020. Meghan explained in the video that she and Harry had visited Altadena where they had met a mother and her 15-year-old daughter whose home burned down in the area, as they joined them to see their home for the first time since the fire.
