Body language expert exposes the mistake ‘first lady’ Jodie made at the White House dinner – and decodes the secret signs about Albo’s feelings
The body language of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon revealed subtle clues about their feelings as guests of honor at a state dinner at the White House hosted by President Joe Biden and his wife Jill.
Body language expert Doctor Louise Mahler told Daily Mail Australia that Mr Albanese and his partner, Jodie Haydon, looked “uncomfortable” in the international spotlight. Still, she claimed their relationship with the Bidens was “all love and light.”
Looking at photographs of their meeting, Dr Mahler was particularly impressed by the way Ms Haydon handled the pressure of the visit and said she ‘did very well’.
“I think she handled it very well given the circumstances, because this is the international stage. She’s not used to that,” she says.
‘That is evident from the fact that her smile is quite forced. There’s no smile in the eyes, the mouth has just gone to the side, and it’s quite forced.’

Dr. Mahler revealed that Ms Haydon felt uncomfortable on the ‘international stage’ and compromised her self-confidence by crossing her hands in the Bermuda Triangle (highlighted above)
Dr. Mahler highlighted how Ms Haydon broke one of the golden rules of body language by entering the ‘Bermuda Triangle’.
‘Her hands are over her stomach. The Bidens are not crossing there,” she said.
‘It’s called the Bermuda Triangle. You don’t enter the Bermuda Triangle – which runs over your shoulders to the groin.
‘But she’s doing very well. She’s not tense. At least her hands are on her stomach and not on her chest.
‘She did very well on the international stage, but her body language shows a lack of professionalism and a lack of experience.’
Photos from the event also show Albanese’s hands crossed in the triangle at times, compromising his confident appearance.
Dr. However, Mahler said several other factors pointed to the prime minister’s discomfort.
“Look at that photo where the backs of his hands are visible to the camera and the tension in his shoulders and upper body shows a lack of comfort under the international spotlight,” she said.
‘He’s doing fine, he stays fairly neutral and in the other photos he comes together.
“But there’s that one photo where he looks very tense in his upper body.”

As for which Aussie was better in the spotlight, Dr Mahler said: “They both look the same, they both feel uncomfortable in this environment.
‘I would tell them to get their breath into their lower body and keep their arms long with the palms facing outwards – the palms show confidence.
“You’ll notice that Donald Trump is permanently standing with his palms forward.”
As for the overall relationship between the couples, Dr. Mahler said all parties seemed positive.
“Basically it’s just all love and light, the whole thing was love and light,” she said.
‘Everyone just couldn’t love each other more.’
The state dinner was Biden’s fourth since becoming president. Previously, events were held for South Korea, India and France.
Biden had planned to visit Sydney after the G7 summit in Japan in May but had to cancel the trip to continue talks on US debt.
On Wednesday, the White House hosted between 325 and 350 guests, including Australian musicians Vance Joy and Kid Laroi.
In a speech, the Albanians reflected on the American spirit.

‘It’s a spirit that Australians identify with – with a small population but a very big imagination we can punch above our weight. Meanwhile, we drew inspiration from our friends across the Pacific,” he said.
“We’re as close as we’ve ever been and I think after this week we’ll be closer than we’ve ever been.”
Albanians added that Australians and Americans are “good friends.”
‘To the history that our people have made together, but more importantly, to the future that we will build together as people. To friendship,’ he toasted.
