Prince William and Kate Middleton’s body language at the Earthshot Prize Awards showed ‘loyalty’ and ‘unity,’ expert says

Prince Willian wore a striking blue velvet tuxedo jacket paired with black pants and a black bowtie to the Earthshot Prize Awards. Kate turned heads in a rented vibrant green dress accessorized with Princess Diana’s emerald and diamond choker.

Body language expert Judi James analyzed the couple’s body language at the event’s green carpet, telling Express, “William and Kate seem to be mirroring each other more than ever before here and this sends out an emphatic message of loyalty, unity and like-minded thinking.”

She added, “When they do stand or move independently it’s very much Kate taking control, looking both confident and supportive of her husband.”

Kate Middleton is ‘the center of attention’ on the Earthshot Prize Awards green carpet, expert says

The body language expert pointed out that Kate is the “center of attention” and William shows his “love and pride” in his expressions.

“When they first arrived in Boston it was Kate throwing the flattering eye-glances at William but since then the compliment has been returned and here we can see Kate often being the center of attention, talking and using the hand gesticulations, while William gazes at her with a facial expression of love and pride,” the expert explained.

James continued, “Kate is always something of a show-stopper on glamorous and more formal outings like this and William clearly loves to admire her more elegant A-list looks. But there are also a series of touches between the couple here that imply Kate is doing more than just looking good.”

The body language expert said Kate’s facial expression is “looking a little firmer and determined at times” and pointed out “the way she cupped the back of William’s hand with her own as they walked into the venue.”

Kate can be seen taking on a leader role, James said, explaining that the Princess of Wales uses a “steering and reassuring gesture of placing a hand behind William’s back now and again.”

According to James, these gestures “suggest she is becoming the central strength of both her own family and the royal firm.”
