Meghan Markle’s pregnancy may be determined through a number of things including some changes in her body language.

Judi James, a body language expert, told Daily Star that the Duchess of Sussex has been ticking quite a few “could be pregnant” boxes since she attended the cookbook launch with her mom, Doria Ragland, weeks ago. At one point, she was photographed holding her stomach area.

“But why might she not be pregnant? Her solo appearance showed high levels of confidence and a desire to go it alone as a royal as well as perform visits with Harry, and the passion she shows for her causes around the world as well as in the UK suggests she might have these as her current priority,” James explained.

At present, it is highly unlikely for Prince Harry’s wife to be expecting her first child because they are headed to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and the Kingdom of Tonga for an official tour starting on Oct. 16.

But when the time comes for the “Suits” alum to get pregnant, royal fans may determine it when she starts wearing flat shoes. She will also be sporting what is known as the pregnancy smile.

“Meghan is now heavily into the stage that all new brides will know when the world’s eye contact seems to move down from the ring hand to the stomach as the speculation starts about potential pregnancy. The constant interest and open questioning will feel intrusive, especially if a couple is trying for a baby as Harry and Meghan could well be right now but without any happy results,” she said.

James added that when official engagements get canceled at the last minute, this could be another way to know if Markle is indeed expecting. Other indicators include Ragland moving to the United Kingdom permanently, as well as a change in fashion and style.

Prince Harry will also be the key giveaway for royal fans to know if his wife is pregnant.

“His emotions tend to be written all over his body language, including the way he looked so openly smitten and soppily in love with Meghan during their engagement interviews,” she said.
