He added: “I’m not saying she doesn’t exude confidence with Harry, but she seems more comfortable in her own skin when appearing by herself on screen.”
Darren continued, saying the Duchess was able to “turn on the charm” with the interviewer through her eye contact and smiles.
He also shared how techniques would make someone feel “special”, explaining: “The first thing with Meghan in this clip is that she has amazing eye contact to whom she is addressing.
