Meghan Markle and Margot Robbie: A Red Carpet Encounter

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, found herself in an awkward moment last week while attending an event.

As she walked down the red carpet at the Variety Powers of Women event in Los Angeles, she was ushered along by an assistant.

Body language expert Judy James analyzed Meghan's demeanor during this incident, noting that while she handled it gracefully, there was a risk of her showing irritation due to being hurried along.

Just like any other celebrity, Meghan made her return to the red carpet, joining other celebrity guests for photos.

However, all eyes were on her as she was guided along by an assistant.

Meghan briefly continued posing before interacting with the assistant and moving along.

According to Judy James, Meghan has become skilled at recovering from such situations, turning slips ups and potential loss of dignity into face-saving changes of movement to protect her brand.

This is not the first time such incidents have occurred, as Judy pointed out.

Judy mentioned that publicists often guide celebrities along at events to ensure that the most prominent names get sufficient attention.

In this case, Meghan seemed engrossed in the moment and may not have noticed the hand reaching out to guide her, which typically indicates that a guest has exceeded their allotted time and bigger names are waiting.

However, Judy emphasized that being pushed or shoved without direct physical contact does not present a positive image.

Initially, Meghan didn't seem to acknowledge the outstretched hand, but when she did, she packed away and continued posing.

There was a moment of potential conflict as the assistant continued to guide her, but Meghan managed to recover her body language.

She extended her own hand as if she were greeting a lifelong fan or an old friend, holding it and shaking it slightly to signal affection before taking a few more photos.

The reason for the assistant's intervention was that photographers wanted to take pictures of another guest, Margot Robbie, who was waiting for her photo session.

Meghan had been attempting to arrange a photo opportunity with Robbie, but Robbie declined.

This incident reminded many of when Robbie had previously poked fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in front of Prince William and Catherine at the 2020 BAFTA Awards.

While accepting Brad Pitt's Best Supporting Actor award on his behalf, Robbie joked about Britain's new single status and made references to Brexit and Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their royal duties.

Margot Robbie has since shared her perspective on the incident, stating that there was no red carpet for her, as she is not a Hollywood starlet.

She also mentioned that the media didn't want to speak to her and there are no photos of her with Meghan or any other A-listers, including her bestie, Dora.

Robbie humorously added that she was not even an invited guest, finding the whole situation amusing.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle's encounter on the red carpet with Margot Robbie caused quite a stir.

Despite being ushered along by an assistant, Meghan managed to handle the situation gracefully.

Body language expert Judy James highlighted Meghan's ability to recover from such incidents and protect her brand.

The incident also brought back memories of Robbie's previous playful remarks about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
