MEGHAN IS A BORN LEADER — BUNIONS AND ALL!

SOLeStry expert Jane Sheehan has studied the meaning of feet for 20 years and is a student of Somogyi’s method.

‘ I look mainly at the right foot because — according to the ancient teachings — this represents the past, whereas the left represents the present,’ she says. ‘If there’s not much difference, it means the person is consistent. If they’re wildly different, you know someone has changed over time.’

So, based on Jane’s rules (see box below), what do Meghan’s feet tell her?

‘Meghan has an elongated second toe, which means she has natural leadership qualities. this particular feature is separate to the feelings and emotions link to the second toe, but down to research that shows, time and again, leaders are often found to have this trait. She also has a short big toe, which indicates she’s a multi-tasker.

‘Her short little toe means a great sense of fun, and the fact it’s on its side points to someone who’s unconventional and rebellious. It’s not extreme, though, as it’s only a little on its side.

‘Interestingly, the same toe on her left foot isn’t over as much, which indicates she’s getting less unconventional.’

the fleshy pad that sticks out below Meghan’s little toe highlights a trait that might come in useful in her new life: ‘It shows big shoulders for other people to cry on, but someone who knows listening is enough, and doesn’t take on other people’s emotions too much,’ says Jane.

‘But her feet also indicate this is someone who hasn’t got the same thick skin as others, as the nail on the third toe isn’t as wide as you’d expect. If someone criticises something she’s doing, she’ll take it to heart because she puts a lot of herself into what she does.’

Jane believes Meghan’s second and third toes are slightly webbed, meaning she can be obstinate. ‘I’d read that as someone who, if they don’t feel like doing something, won’t do it come hell or high water. But if they feel like doing it, they’ll move mountains.’

even though she’s only 36, Meghan appears already to have a problem that usually affects much older women — the dreaded bunion.

this big, bony lump on the side of the foot not only looks unsightly, but can cause pain. they can be inherited, or it’s also been suggested wearing heels with narrow toes can bring them on.

Dan Broadhead, of Borders Podiatry and Performance Clinic, says: ‘It does look as if she has the start of bunions or it may be simply that the joint under her big toe is wide and sticks out.’

Meanwhile, Meghan’s left foot contains its own revelations. ‘the fourth toe on the left is looking longer than the right,’ says Jane. ‘this shows family is becoming more important.’

Well, Harry and Meghan have suggested publicly that they want to have a family sooner rather than later.

Overall, the fact Meghan’s toes are all very long and thin indicates a creative expressiveness. ‘Her large big toe pad also shows she spends a lot of time pondering things. And the fact the tip of her big toe doesn’t touch the floor but the pad does indicates someone with good visualisation skills.

‘ It’s something Princess Diana had, too.’
