Body Language Expert Explains What Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Favorite Foods Reveal About Their Personalities
They say you are what you eat. But does what you eat reveal a lot about your personality? According to body language and behavioral expert Darren Stanton, the answer is yes.
Stanton discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s favorite meals and shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet his take on what those foods say about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan’s favorite food and what it says about her personality
Meghan has long been a fan of healthy eating but for her, it’s all about balance and she’s flexible when it comes to one of her favorite foods: fries.
“I’m always hoping I’m having lunch with people, so we can share fries. It’s its own food group for me,” the former Suits star previously said per Hello! magazine.
Speaking on behalf of Coffee Friend, Stanton explained what that choice reveals about the duchess.
“Meghan was quoted in an interview saying her favorite was a good old-fashioned skinny French fry — a staple food of America and you could eat these French fries from any outlet in America,” Stanton explained. “Here you know exactly what you’re going to be getting and there is a sense of familiarity in choosing this sort of food. So perhaps Meghan chose this food because she wanted to be able to connect with people across America and indeed the world.
“This shows she’s not removed from society or normality and can indulge in the most basic and one of the most popular foods of the average person.”
Harry’s favorite food and what it says about his personality
The Duke of Sussex lives in California and can’t get his hands on it now but for the majority of his life Prince Harry’s go-to food came from Nando’s. The casual food chain specializes in flame-grilled peri-peri style chicken and has locations all over the world, just not in Harry’s neck of the woods. There are more than 40 Nando restaurants in the U.S. but only in the Washington D.C. and Chicago Metropolitan areas.
“Prince Harry is said to be partial to a Nando’s and was reportedly introduced to it by one of his (former) royal protection officers,” Stanton said. “Nando’s is a kind of food that is fairly basic and what you see is what you get, however, it isn’t necessarily a plain choice as just like the different choices of spice, sometimes Prince Harry might be in a lemon and herb type of mindset whilst other times might opt for the very hot.”
The body language and behavioral expert added: “This would be probably true of his personality prior to settling down with Meghan as when he was in the army he was quite known for going out on the town, being quite spontaneous and a bit of a lad.”
