GETTING DEEP

Is this the reason Meghan Markle has started wearing outfits with deep pockets?

Eagle eyed fans have spotted The Duchess of Sussex doing this on repeat

EVER since the newlyweds tied the knot in May, we've seen a lot of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

And while The Duchess of Sussex always seems to be a total natural in front of the cameras, eagle eyed royal fans have noticed Meghan adopting a specific stance.

And it seems the duchess can't keep her hands out of her pockets.

If it's not her fashion choices that are getting all the attention, fans are going crazy over her PDA with Prince Harry.

Only last week, we were treated to a mega cute snap of the pair smooching at a charity polo match.

But some fans have noticed that 36-year-old Meghan - who celebrates her 37th birthday on August 4 - has this new habit.

According to body language analyst Judi James, this habit often forms when someone has something to hide.

However, Judi tells , that she doesn't think this is the case for the Duchess of Sussex.

"The classic reason for this very common gesture is that it signals a subliminal desire to hide, especially when the hands are shoved deep into the pockets," explains Judi.

"It also helps get over the common problem most of us suffer from, which is not really knowing what to do with our hands when we know people are looking at us."

So why is Meg using this as her go-to gesture?

According to Judi, it's all to do with the new royal's fashion.

"Meghan's high levels of confidence suggest her reason is more to do with fashion than anxiety though," Judi tells .

"It is also a probable nod to her love of 50's styling.

"Her full skirts are very Audrey Hepburn and to wear them well a hand in one pocket is almost de rigueur. She also loves slouchy coats and jackets and the same fashion rule of 'wearing' the tailoring would apply with them too."

Sadly, we probably won't be seeing much of Meghan (or her pockets) for the next few weeks, while the royal family have a bit of down time during August.

But we're certainly looking forward to seeing her must-have outfits (pockets or not) come September.
