A body language expert has issued a brutal take on an interaction between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a new Netflix doc.
Now, fans of the royals will no doubt know all about Netflix's new documentary, Polo, which lists both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as executive producers.
The five-part series only actually features the pair a few times throughout it - but that's not stopped one expert sharing her verdicts on their interactions.

Clearly not a fan of the doc, body language expert Judi James claimed it 'looks like an Eton Mess mash-up of Jilly Cooper and TOWIE'.
She went on to declare Harry was 'peacocking' in his appearances - a behaviour which refers to someone displaying their pride or self-esteem to attract attention or impress others.
"Harry's love of the peacocking, macho world of Polo comes across clearly but when he and Meghan do appear in brief moments she is very emphatically not depicted as any Pimms-swigging, divot-trampling WAG," James told the Express.
Analysing one key gesture, the expert continued: "Meghan's presence provides the royal effect as she steps in to be introduced to a player and Harry steps back to chuckle at the sight of the player bending his head and offering a handshake and a giggle."
She also added that, in the interaction, Harry went into a more playful mode showing that he 'loves making his wife laugh'.
"He clearly loves making his wife laugh but steps out of macho-player mode to do so, kissing her quickly and showing strong signals of pride here," she noted.
"Meghan turns the shake into a hug and both Harry and the player giggle and chuckle like schoolboys," James went on.
Additionally, the expert claimed that Meghan was 'chatting as though on a royal visit', adding: "It's Meghan extending a hand to touch her husband to invite him into the conversation.
"She also commands looks of respect and she walks across the stage to give Harry his trophy and he goes into playful mode, pointing to his chest as though to ask 'Me?'"
It would also appear as if James isn't the only one who wasn't a fan of Polo.
Giving it a less than impressive rating, The Guardian predicted that Polo would 'fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light', while The Telegraph said there's 'not enough of the Sussexes' in the series 'to make this anything other than a dull indulgence about a rich person’s pursuit'.
