Royal Family News: Psychologist Labels Meghan Markle As Especially Inauthentic

Meghan MarkleBritish royal family news shows that a day doesn’t go by when the Windsor family is not in the media: photographed, quoted or the subsect of scandal. You expect the clan to exude confidence, charm and charisma, but one psychologist begs to differ.

Richard Reid is an expert in the art of charisma and he told Express.co.uk that the royals are lagging a bit in the personality department. Has he not heard of Princes Harry and Andrew who exhibit boatloads of personality? To be fair he does name names, and we have his spilled tea here.

Richard told the outlet that in his book charisma equals, “authenticity … being who you are and knowing what you stand for … while moderating your own energy to allow others to expand.” Does he mean expand like a waistline at the holidays, expand like a sourdough loaf waiting for the oven or ….

As if the royals needed more shade, he adds, “There’s often a mismatch between what they’re saying and how they’re using their body language and facial expressions. There’s a whole lot of work they could do around making their messages feel more authentic.”

But there is an excuse for their stiffness, he says that their media training for public speaking has them come off as opposite to, “a natural part of who they are.”
