Kate Middleton’s ‘out-of-character’ indications show she’s ‘serious’ for new role

• Kate and William hosted King Charles III’s first state visit.
• She also uses intense-looking eye contact, and her smile looks unforced.
• The South African president met three children’s parents in London on November 22.

Kate Middleton and Prince William recently hosted the first state visit of King Charles III’s reign.

On November 22, the South African head of state met the parents of three children at a hotel in London.

Judi James, a body language expert, had this to say about the couple’s behavior on their recent date: “There are some out-of-character signs of tension on Kate’s face as she sits in the car en route to welcome their guest for their first state visit as Prince and Princess of Wales, suggesting she is taking her new responsibilities seriously.”

“She also hangs back as William strides to greet their visitor, but when she does step forward, her handshake looks slickly professional, with an extended arm and a raised hand with her thumb placed on top of the clasp in a signal of confidence,” Judi added.

“She also uses intense-looking eye contact, and her smile looks unforced,” the expert kept saying. “Kate’s pose beside the President contains two signals of confidence and connection with the camera.”

“She poses initially with her hands clasped in front, which mirrors her husband’s pose, but she is also seen with her arms hanging at her sides in a more individual expression of confidence,” the expert further said.

“The second signal is the raised eyebrow, which creates a stronger tie-sign with the cameras than the usual regal smile.”
