Meghan Markle appears to be using a different strategy to her husband Prince Harry when out in public as she makes no attempt to "be anonymous", according to an expert.
The Duchess of Sussex recently enjoyed a stroll around her neighbourhood as she checked out her local farmers' market. Harry was nowhere to be seen on the outing, with Meghan instead being joined by a security guard and her beloved beagle.
The actress walked along the stalls, checking out all of the handmade items on offer. She decided to buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers before heading home.
Body language expert Judi James has said Meghan looked as if she was on an "idealised" shopping trip as she made sure to "acknowledge the camera".

She carried her belongings in a sustainable straw handbag and wore a pair of black flip flops.

"Meghan shops as though she's still taking part in a Netflix series.
"This is idealised A-list shopping complete with shoulder sack, designer shades and a bodyguard: sniffing orchids and tasting honey rather than pushing a trolley full of baked beans and fish fingers round the aisles of a Lidl," Judi told The Mirror.
She suggested Meghan used her large handbag as an attempt to conceal her identity, but didn't quite achieve her goals.

"She also seems to acknowledge the camera with a smile, rather than ducking out of sight."
Before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan ran her own lifestyle blog called The Tig and she wrote about topics such as travel, fashion and self-care.
Judi said her latest outing could be Meghan's attempt at transitioning back to her life while running The Tig.
"As a statement though this seems to speak of the Meghan brand, veering towards the Tig lifestyle route. She looks comfortable on this solo outing which might also be an attempt to show her relatable and accessible side rather than her regal one," she suggested.
