Meghan Markle branded 'the best' for appearance on The Traitors: 'Highly skilled at presenting a character'
This needs to happen!Meghan Markle has been named as the royal family member who would be most likely to do well on The Traitors.
With the British public well and truly hooked on Celebrity Traitors currently, a body language expert has weighed in to rank senior royals’ chances, should they ever appear on the show.
It’s something we’d LOVE to see.
‘Meghan would make the best traitor’
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, body language expert Darren Stanton put the Duchess of Sussex at the top of the list as the “best (hypothetical) traitor”.
He put this partly down to her previous career as an actress and partly to her “experience managing a public persona while navigating complex social dynamics”.
He said: “A lot of that comes from her background as an actress; she’s highly skilled at presenting a character, maintaining a story, and adapting to different situations.
“I think she’d have no trouble crafting a believable backstory to gain trust and build rapport with the other contestants. She could maintain a façade convincingly throughout the game, which would make her an incredibly strong contender. It would be fascinating to see her in action in this context, really.”
The thing about Harry is that he really wears his heart on his sleeve.
However, Darren was less convinced about Meghan’s hubby, Prince Harry’s, chances, placing him second from bottom.
“The thing about Harry is that he really wears his heart on his sleeve. His emotions are written all over his face. He’s not great at hiding how he feels” the expert said.
Which other royals would do well on The Traitors?
Perhaps surprisingly, Darren reckoned Queen Camilla would be the second-best traitor in the family. He suggested the queen could use her “easygoing charm” to become a “silent, smiling assassin”.
Meanwhile, King Charles’ and future king Prince William‘s discretion and leadership qualities earnt them third and fourth place, respectively.
While Kate, Princess of Wales, is often hailed as one of the most popular royals, Darren suggested her genuineness and straightforwardness might play to her detriment in a game of cunning like The Traitors. For this reason, he ranked Kate and her royal relatives, Princess Anne and Zara Tindall, fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
Taking joint last spot below Prince Harry were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
“I can’t imagine them possessing the manipulative skills or deceptive instincts needed to maintain a façade over time. They strike me as straightforward and genuine, which is admirable, but not ideal for being a successful traitor.” Darren explained his decision.
