Prince William on Different Page Than Kate During Outing as He’s Very ‘Protective’ of His Wife Now
Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) stepped out recently to attend Remembrance Day events. The annual Remembrance is when people across the U.K. honor all the British and Commonwealth service members who have died in conflicts worldwide.
The royals attended the Festival of Remembrance in London on Nov. 9 and the next day stepped out for the annual Service of Remembrance as King Charles led the nation in a wreath-laying ceremony at The Cenotaph.
Now, an expert is sharing what he observed from the prince and princess as Kate returned to royal duties alongside her husband.
Expert noticed Prince William’s body language differed from Kate’s
Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.”
Stanton analyzed Will and Kate during their public appearance together and noted that their body language was different from one another as William appeared to be in “protective” mode of his wife.
Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, the expert explained: “Where Kate is seen clapping alongside William, his body language differs from hers. He seems more tense and alert, whereas Kate appears far more relaxed and has a calm aura about her. In William’s face, we can slightly see this tension, which is quite unusual for him. It’s a protective instinct from him, but he isn’t overbearing, he allows Kate to have her own space and present herself independently.
“That connection between a couple, that telepathy of knowing what the other is thinking and what they want, is very prevalent between Kate and William. We see this in their eye contact and it’s reflective of the strong rapport they have. They look at each other for a prolonged period, say eight or nine seconds, which people tend to do only with romantic partners or family members they share a close bond with. The pair are subtly tactile, their closeness is demonstrated in little touches, she may touch his elbow, he may touch her arm — it’s reassurance gestures to show they are there for each other.”
Kate appeared ‘happy’ to be back out with the other royals
Overall, Stanton believes that the princess was happy to be out and about again with the other royals.
“The most striking thing that we see non-verbally from Kate is a fantastic smile,” Stanton pointed out, adding, Her whole face is engaged and her eyes are engaged. The eyes are a window to the soul, their engaged showing she is very much in the moment and enjoying being in the presence of others. Kate is showing a real shine to her, she looks radiant and has a great presence here and looks very happy to be back in the fold and back to her usual duties.”
