MEGHAN Markle showed “anger” after claiming the palace previously blocked her from doing an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Duchess claims the Palace blocked her from chatting with Oprah for an interview
In the clip, released by CBS, Meghan claims she wasn’t even allowed to speak to Oprah in 2018 without someone listening in, but they are now on the “other side”.
Judi told Fabulous that Meghan appeared “coy” as she claimed she had a lack of freedom, but this turned to “anger” during the chat.
Judi explained: “Her upper foot begins to rock and she giggles coyly as Oprah relates how her first request for an interview was turned down.
“Her [Meghan’s] head-shake suggests there are so many things she could tell and then after her ‘we’re on the other side’ her body language mood changes from ‘coy’ and there are some subtle signs that could hint at suppressed anger, like a sigh, a raising of her eyebrows and an accelerated blink rate.”

Judi also added that Meghan added in “dramatic” pauses during the chat with Oprah.
She explained: “Meghan throws in a ‘Uh hum’ as she uses complimentary body language to suggest a close friendship with Oprah.
“But when she is asked ‘Why now?’ she indulges in a silent, dramatic pause lasting about six seconds before she answers.”
The 39-year-old mother said she was forced to turn down the interview, saying: “That wasn’t my choice to make.”

She also told Oprah that it was tough to go from having a “really independent life” to one that was within the “construct” of the Royal Family.
Meghan said that she and Prince Harry now have the “ability to make our own choices” in a way that they couldn’t three years ago.
The full two-hour interview will screen on Sunday night at 1am UK time, before ITV shows it the following evening at 9pm.

And the new footage from the ‘tell-all’ interview, filmed in California last month, will be shown on American breakfast show CBS This Morning between 12pm and 2pm UK time.
The most recent trailer caused widespread shock after Meghan accused the Royal Family of “perpetuating falsehoods”.
The Duchess used the phrase “The Firm” in the second teaser clip of the couple’s upcoming interview with Winfrey, released earlier this week.

In the clip, Winfrey asks Meghan: “How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?”
A visibly-emotional Meghan replies: “I don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.”
It’s not yet known what “falsehoods” the Duchess is referring to, as the interview was recorded before claims emerged in The Times this week that she drove two personal assistants out of the household and undermined the confidence of a third.
Meghan strongly denies the allegations, and she and her husband accused the Queen’s staff of orchestrating a “calculated smear campaign” ahead of their explosive two-hour interview.
Meanwhile, an earlier trailer – the first to be released, features Winfrey replying to a comment by the Duchess: “Almost unsurvivable.
The teaser then shows Harry and Meghan sitting side by side holding hands as Winfrey says: “You have said some pretty shocking things here.”
Judi previously said that Meghan had a protective hand gesture with Harry as they spoke together.
Harry also told the US chat show host: “For me, I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side.”
He said he ‘couldn’t begin to imagine’ what it had been like for his mum Princess Diana “because it’s been unbelievably tough for the two of us”.
The programme will be broadcast in more than 70 countries – including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy and about 40 nations in sub-Saharan Africa.
More countries will be announced in the coming days under arrangements that could earn tens of millions of pounds for CBS.
The Sussexes are not being paid for the chat and will not receive a slice of the syndication profits.
CBS is said to be charging advertisers £150,000 for a 30-second slot.
