The Duchess of Sussex is celebrating her seventh wedding anniversary with Prince Harry and one expert believes there’s a subtle dig at her critics hidden in her gushing social media post
Meghan Markle celebrated seven years of marriage today with a montage of never-before-seen photos of her and Prince Harry, and one expert believes there’s a hidden message tucked away in the intimate social media post.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to post a memory board showing snaps throughout her and Harry’s relationship, including precious photos of them on holiday, a pregnancy ultrasound and even unseen snippets of their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Handwritten notes are also scattered and pinned around the montage.
Accompanying the photos, Meghan wrote a short message which reads: “Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story – we appreciate you. Happy anniversary!”
And now leading communications and body language expert Judi James has decoded the sweet post, revealing there’s more than meets the eye. The expert told The Mirror: “Referring to her seven years of marriage as a ‘lifetime of stories’, Meghan seems to reveal her theatrical side.
“The curated photos of those years that accompany her words do look a little like stills from a movie about a romantic love story. Her written message is very brief here, although the sentiments echo an Oscar acceptance speech, suggesting an air of ultimate victory over the sceptics and critics.”
Judi also noted regal understones in the post, as she added: “The words ‘supported us’ might reflect a desire to reference vulnerability and although her ‘we appreciate you’ sounds like a polite return after the receipt of ‘Love and support’, it probably adds a more regal sign-off than a gushing ‘we love you all’ back.
“Meghan’s curated marriage mood-board is all about intensely romantic moments and intimate ones too, like the one where she stands with her bump showing and the ultrasound of one of her babies.
“There are locations and dates added in her magnificent italics, but the overriding quote pinned up here might be announcing a new era of calm acceptance from the couple known for their controversies and dramas.
“The Walt Whitman words ‘We were together, I forget the rest’ seem to thankfully signal an acceptance of happiness and resilience at last after what has seemed like years battling the royals and the press etc. It implies an ability to cancel out all the external noise and just focus on this very loving relationship that she has illustrated so touchingly.”
