Meghan Markle pictured alone in California after skipping awkward family reunion
Meghan Markle has been pictured taking a solo drive in Santa Barbara while her husband Prince Harry is away in Las Vegas.
Prince Harry was caught looking very "torn" after his visit to the UK this week. After flying 10 hours across the Atlantic Ocean, Harry was permitted to visit his sick father King Charles for only 30 minutes after hearing of his cancer diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Meghan has been criticised for staying back in California while Harry reconnected with his family. Driving alone near her home in Montecito, Meghan raised a hand to her head while shielding her eyes with sunglasses.
And body language expert Judi James exclusively tells The Mirror that Meghan is "feeling confident and relaxed" after staying out of the family reunion. Judi says: "Meghan’s behind-the-wheel body language is currently suggesting a rather upbeat and relaxed mood, with some wide smiles and – here – one arm raised in what looks like a stretch with the hand tucked behind her head."

It comes after claims the Duchess of Sussex "won't make the first move" to reconcile with Prince Harry's family.
A royal expert has claimed that Meghan isn't as keen to bend over backwards to put the Royal Family at ease amid their feud. Royal expert Duncan Larcombe tells Bella: "Meghan seems to be the one who feels more hard done by and more distant from the royals. Meghan is very much an outsider so she's not somebody who can make the first move or be the person that the other royals would reach out to."
The couple have made a series of damning claims about the royal family in a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, in their own Netflix docuseries and in Harry's memoir Spare. But if there's a way forward for the family, Larcombe says: "The driving force has to be Harry." He adds: "There's only going to be healing if it starts with some form of behind-the-scenes apology, which is more likely to be with King Charles himself. Harry may feel a slight twinge of guilt, but he still feels like the victim."
The Duchess of Sussex remained at home in Montecito, California, with her children Archie and Lilibet this week as Harry dashed to the UK after hearing that his father King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. Swallowing any misgivings about a family reunion, the Duke of Sussex sat through a 10-hour commercial flight for just 30 minutes with his father.
In total, Harry spent just 25 hours on British soil and it's thought he wasn't invited to meet with his brother Prince William or his sister-in-law Princess Kate. This comes after Prince Harry himself has said he would welcome the chance of a reconciliation with his family.
"The door is always open. The ball is in their court, " he said last year in an interview with Tom Bradbury. "There is a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they are willing to sit down and talk about it. I don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better."
