LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Drew Barrymore recently sat down with Meghan Markle for an interview on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' and one moment from their conversation is grabbing a lot of eyeballs.

Meghan Markle sat down with Drew Barrymore to discuss her new Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan' and brand As Ever, but an expert suggested that the host seemed "envious" of the duchess during their conversation.

Body language expert Judi James observed Drew’s responses closely. According to James, Drew’s gestures hinted at something deeper. "Meghan’s eyelid flutters as she looks upward, overwhelmed by the power of her feelings for Harry," James told the Daily Mail.

"Drew presents complimentary body language here, gazing at Meghan in awe and crossing her arms over her chest in a self-hug of what looks like empathy or possibly envy," she noted.

As Meghan continued, Drew’s demeanor seemed to shift. "Drew's self-hugs and 'impressed' shaking of her head begin to wind down as Meghan shares her love. In the end we see Drew's expression looking more impassive although her eye gaze suggests she's still lost in Meghan's narrative," she added.

James also decoded Barrymore and Meghan's hug at the beginning of the chat saying the duchess appeared "emotionally distant".

On 'The Drew Barrymore Show', Meghan Markle had nothing but praise for her husband, Prince Harry, expressing admiration for their strong bond.

"Every time I see a photo of you, you're holding hands, you're kissing, you are so affectionate," host Barrymore remarked.

Meghan’s response was nothing short of heartfelt. "Life is full of surprises. I did not expect to meet H and for this to be our love story. I'm very lucky. I am married to the funniest, sweetest, most charming (man). And he's an amazing father. I count my blessings because I have him. I have a partner who is so supportive of me," she gushed.

Meghan then shared how they maintain their spark, revealing a promise she and Harry had made early in their relationship.

"I told H when we started dating, ‘I vow to always date you.’ So we have this connection, I think, because we're so committed to treating each other the same way we did before we had a ring on it, before it was locked down. (You know that stage) where you're just courting each other and you can see all the good and joy, that butterfly period. I think that's what keeps things really alive. It becomes part of your love language," said Meghan.
