We all have our fair share of habits. Some of us have the habit of biting our nails while some of us continuously cross our arms unknowingly and we bet that you have realised that the to-be royal too, does have a behaviour quirk. She keeps touching her hair! Why's that? Continue reading to know what body language experts think of this behaviour of hers...
"Some people touch their hair, play with their fingernails, or rub their arms, as a way to psychologically and physiologically calm themselves when they're feeling anxious, uncomfortable or stressed," Blanca Cobb, body language expert said. "Some people might touch, twirl or stroke their hair when in awkward social situations such as when they're not sure what to do or what to say," she added. This behaviour is the grown-up version of clenching to a teddy bear or sucking a pacifier apparently. "Context is key when distinguishing a habit from a nonverbal tell," Cobb said. "For example, if someone frequently touches their hair in a variety of non-stressful situations such as talking on the phone, reading a book, or watching TV then it's more likely a habit they're not even aware of. If, however, they tend to touch their hair when having a heated discussion or they're uncomfortable with someone around them, then it's more likely a body language tell," she added. It's safe to assume that during major photo ops, especially when you know millions (and millions) of people will see these photos for years to come, that you would be nervous. "In this situation, Meghan's hair touch is a soothing gesture," Cobb said. And added, "Her head is also tilted down slightly. Sometimes when you feel too much attention you might tuck your chin down as a way to shield yourself."
Well, we all need a little comfort from time to time now, right?
