Meghan Markle’s Christmas card pose ‘reeks of success’ & hints at political aspirations, body language expert claims
Meghan Markle's "professional" Christmas card pose alongside the music accompaniment "'reeks of success, celebration and glory" and hints at her political aspirations, a body language expert has claimed.
Prince Harry, 39, and 42-year-old Meghan Markle's annual “holiday season” card was sent on behalf of their Archewell organisation on Friday 15 December.
It includes a photo that was taken during the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games, which took place in Germany.
It's also linked to the pair’s annual Archewell Foundation impact report, which had a video highlighting some of the work their most proud of from this year.
In the virtual card, the couple could be seen clapping as the U.S. team walked onto the stage as Bruce Springsteen's hit song Born in the USA played at the time.
And according to Judi James, it's an apt choice of song considering it has links to politics - something which Meghan has reportedly been considering a future in.

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Digital, the body language expert explains: "The song ‘Born in the USA’ has links to politics and this professional pose with the music accompaniment reeks of success, celebration and glory.
"It’s not a family Christmas message, it’s not even a romantic, coupled-up one as there is no romantic touch ritual here or their usual signals of connection and love.
"This is Harry and Meghan at their glittering best as a power couple."
The photo was taken during the highlight of their past year as they celebrated Harry’s Invictus Games.

While Meghan can be seen donning a stunning strapless green dress with her brunette hair slicked back into a low bun, Prince Harry opts for a black suit with a matching shirt underneath.
"They look glamorous and their linked behaviour is about shared goals and celebrating achievement," Judi notes.
"They have a crowd behind them and they look upward to suggest the kind of motivational message that would appeal on a political arena.
"If Meghan were thinking of a political career this could be the perfect pose to launch it."
Judi James also observes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle look "high status and glamorous."
However, she points out that the way they "look upward" and their hands are caught mid-applause suggests they "share the skills of nurturing others through to accomplishment."
She continues: "The mix of great success plus humility is one that is seen a lot in the political arena."
Judi goes on to say that while Prince Harry's smile "looks rigid," Meghan's looks "radiant" and her "eyes sparkle with pleasure."
But according to the body language expert, it's Meghan's "seal clap" that's the most telling.

"Although she’s clapping, her ‘seal clap’ hand position make it almost look as though she’s catching something that is being thrown at her, perhaps a new role or a new office?" she says.
"Her expression is also one of optimism, as though she is expecting new successes in 2024."
