Duchess Meghan: conscious restraint at the baptism of Prince Louis

For months now, everything revolves around Duchess Meghan, 36 years old. Prince Harry's wife has fascinated the public since she appeared alongside the Queen's grandson. Relational rumors, engagement, marriage, her intrusive relationship: The American has been engaged in the conversation since her appearance on the royal scene. But after her dream wedding in Windsor in May, it should not be about her anyway.

The Duchess Meghan remains in the background

At the baptism of her nephew, Prince Louis, 36 years old to pay full attention to the baptized person and his family. Judi James, a body language expert, told Britain's Daily Mail that Meghan's behavior was based on the fact that Kate, William and Louis were enjoying the moment. "Meghan has shown new body language and is very suitable for baptism," James said. "She masters the art of sitting at the back to allow other members of the royal family to take center stage." With several rounds, she was not able to focus on that day for once.

Subtle Costume

For the baptismal service, Meghan chose a simple Ralph Lauren olive dress. She also wore a matching hat and bad suede pumps. A color composition with which the 36-year-old almost merges with the walls of the palace. If you often rest on refined cuts or colorful accents, she kept her fashion in the background with this very elegant, but very subtle look.

Expressions and gestures retained

When newlyweds are known for their looks on their performances through gestures of love and secret whispers, Harry and Meghan minimize their interaction by arriving in front of the Chapel of the Palais Saint-James. Although they held hands, but the usual soft touches or amorous glances disappeared. Both seemed to make an effort not to be noticed by facial expressions or gestures and to provide as little conversation material as possible. "Meghan showed the perfect smile," judge Judi James.

The Radiant Duchess Catherine in the spotlight

The Duchess Catherine, on the other hand, radiated happiness. The mother of the baptized child affectionately smiled at his youngest son and proudly introduced him to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who, after Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also baptized Prince Louis. "This is a very relaxed and peaceful child," she told the pastor before the ceremony. "I hope it stays that way," she added jokingly. As with the baptism of her other two children, Kate wore a bright Alexander McQueen dress to match the traditional Windsor baptismal dress.

One guest almost competed with the baby: Sister Princess Charlotte made the headlines with a cheeky appearance after the service. In the direction of the photographers, the three-year-old said confidently on the way to the private family party after baptism: "You do not come!" For a long time, no Royal has made a statement so clear. Even dad had to smile at William.
