MEGHAN Markle has shared a clip from her new Netflix show and it revealed three secret techniques she uses to make people appear to be her BFF.
According to a body language expert, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, displayed these signals when she was meeting celebrity chef Roy Choi.
In the Netflix clip from With Love, Meghan, airing on March 4, Meghan bonded with Roy as they made a meal.
Speaking to Fabulous, body language expert Judi James said: “The kaleidoscopic snippy-clips of ‘Meghan World’ here seem to imply it is an idyllic place where she is both adoring and adored.
“Her bonding rituals look like a bottomless buffet of cute dancing, double high-five hand slaps plus some reward hugging from Harry.
“We can see her friendship bonding techniques at work during the clips with the chef.”
The body language expert shared how Meghan does three secret techniques to make people feel like she is their best friend…
1. Mirroring
Judi explained that Meghan’s mirroring and mimicry are “intense” in the clip.
She explained: “Meghan dressed the same as the chef, she mimics his cookery techniques and as they chat she references shared experience and even adapts her own vocal tone so they sound alike as they speak.
“The magical techniques are so effective that the chef even remarks that ‘You and I are so similar, we should have met a long time ago’.”

The next thing Meghan does to get people on her side is “celebratory rituals”, claims Judi.
The body language pro stated: “Glasses are lifted and clanked in toasts of appreciation and bonding and hands are clapped together in the air in gestures of shared triumph.

“Meghan’s BFFs are being shown as constantly celebrating everything with her in rituals of shared achievement.”
3. Smiling
It may seem obvious, but getting people to smile is one of Meghan’s main techniques for breaking down any barriers.
Judi stated: “ In real life only small children have this experience but here it is shown as a non-negotiable given.
“Meghan even does little dances to make us all smile when we look at her.
“Yet it is interesting how quickly her responses change when her new friend says something she doesn’t agree with or understand.”
However, Meghan’s demeanour changed from “flattering mimicry to wary disbelief” when Roy told her that he listens to “Death metal” when cooking.
Judi added: “It is here their differences suddenly begin to glare out.
“When she turns back to work she throws a side-eye look that appears wary and her mouth forms what looks like a sulk shape.
“She stares at the chef to rebuke him, telling him ‘That doesn’t sound like the joy of cooking’, and shaking her head at him.
“His following non-idyllic comment about ‘It’s good when you’re butchering’ sits jarringly in Meghan’s world of sweet treats and floral prints and her facial expression illustrates that point.”
In the clip, Roy added: “We all have different sides to us”, with Meghan replying: “That’s true. Multifaceted folks, that’s what we are.”
Meghan also spoke about fond memories of fun times dancing in Koreatown.
“The best thing about Koreatown you could go to all ages clubs and karaoke bars,” she said.
Mr Choi shared: “I was part of dance crews, all that stuff.”
“No one talks about all the dances that were such a big deal, the Roger Rabbi and the Kid ‘n Play, it was so much fun.”
The Chef laughs: “Man, you and I are so similar, we should have met a long time ago.”
Fan reaction
Fans were quick to share their excitement in the comment section.
“This looks great! Just what we need right now!” wrote one.
“Cannot wait,” agreed another.
It comes after Meghan also shared behind the scenes footage with Prince Harry making a surprise appearance.
Meghan, 43, captioned her latest Instagram post: “Six more days until our show launches on @netflix!
“Celebrating the crew and everyone who helped make this happen! The countdown begins.”
Showtime
Last month, the Duchess of Sussex announced her lifestyle series, ‘With Love, Meghan‘, which will be released on Netflix on March 4, after it was postponed from January due to the LA wildfires.
A trailer for the programme showed Meghan, 43, inviting friends and famous guests to a California estate where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.
The Netflix show will have eight 33 minute episodes featuring a host of Meg’s various Hollywood friends trying her simple, yet “elevated”, food.
The series is reportedly being made to complement her lifestyle brand As Ever, which Meghan announced last week.
The Duchess was forced this month to re-brand American Riviera Orchard – originally announced a year ago – due to trademark issues.
