Meghan Markleatears over Queen Elizabeth‘s funeral were genuine – and allegations that the Duchess of Sussex and former Suits actress “famed” are “dishonest”, a Royal commentator has urged. Jonathan Sacerdoti spoke after a photo of Meghan flooded her cheeks as she watched the Queen’s casket being wheeled out of Westminster Abbey on Monday.
Body language expert Adrianne Carter, of The Face Whisperer, responded by telling The Daily Star that it’s “hard to tell” whether the tears were “real sadness” and added: “Meghan is sure tears would be noticed and photographed.”
Tom Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, told GB News: “The only person I think Meghan is crying about right now is for herself. Certainly not for the Queen.”
However, Mr Sacerdoti, a journalist who regularly appears on Sky News, the BBC and other media, and also contributes to The Spectator, was less skeptical.
He explained: “I always think it’s best to take things first and give people the benefit of the doubt, especially in difficult moments such as bereavement or the loss of a family member.
“And if that family is Her Majesty the Queen, and with all the tension within the family, it’s reasonable to assume that if you have to express your grief in such a public way, whoever you are, you might find it very difficult.” you may be sad.
“And that’s why I don’t think it’s fair to accuse people of faking if we don’t have any reason or evidence to suggest that’s the case.

“Because if she has that regret, she may feel sad at the time of the Queen’s funeral or mourn because she has made life difficult in any way, either for Her Majesty the Queen or for His Majesty King Charles or any of the the rest of the family .
“And even if she doesn’t necessarily regret it, it might just make her sad.”
Harry and Meghan have agreed to several high-profile interviews since their departure from royal life, including a stellar sit-down with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
During this, they claimed that an unnamed Royal speculated about the skin color of unborn son Archie, and that the institution failed to help a suicidal Meghan.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace is gearing up for Harry’s upcoming all-encompassing book, which he said will be an “accurate and completely truthful” account of his life.
The memoir is expected to be published by Penguin Random House in late 2022, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.
Before the Queen’s funeral, Harry and Meghan attended her platinum anniversary parties in June, but avoided the spotlight for most of the weekend.
