How Prince William and Kate Middleton avoid looking like Charles and Diana in public

Kate Middleton and Prince William steal the limelight at many royal events.

The couple had one of the most watched weddings in history when they married in April 2011.

Now they have three adorable royal children, Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, born in April last year.

A body language expert has revealed how Kate and William avoid looking like Prince Charles and Princess Diana on public outings.

Body language expert Judi James said: “William and Kate eye their destiny as future King and Queen.”

As such, she claimed their body language has an air or formality, and the two seen keen not to repeat mistakes of the past.

“These most recent poses show them engaging together with each other and with the crowds but without creating any form of plot narrative.

“Their touch rituals, eye contact and tie signs also seem to have increased since Louis was born although they still appear to be averse to creating anything approaching the kind of non-verbal royal soap opera that surrounded Princess Diana.

“While Charles and Diana sadly illustrated every stage of their relationship in their body language William and Kate have yet to veer from signals suggesting anything more intriguing or revealing than perfect smiles, love, and perfect mirroring.”

She added: “William and Kate are currently blending tradition and formality with an increase in congruent signals of happiness and even fun together at public events.”

Judi also revealed Prince William and Kate Middleton’s unusual gesture of affection. 

The prince raised a hand to rest it on Kate’s hip as the couple greeted the public.

William turned to look at his wife, who in turn smiled back at him.

The Prince’s other hand was raised to pay to wave to the crowd.

Body language expert Judi James said: “They catch one another’s eye and Kate’s dimpled smile suggests the kind of subtle look of love that is similar to William’s suppressed smile and eye smile.

“Unusually for him, he seems quick to lift a hand to Kate’s waist in a gesture of what looks like spontaneous affection.”

But it is not just Prince William and Kate who the public keep their eyes on.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle shocked the world when they kissed after weeks of rift speculation. 

Judi has declared the Duchesses’ rift to be at an end, with their hands-on display showing “genuine warmth between them”.
