unlike William | Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Kate, Princess of Wales differs from Prince William and “walks with a swagger”, according to one body language expert.
Speaking of Kate’s recent engagement for the Rugby World Cup in France, body language expert Darren Stanton opened up about her “confident” appearance.
Kate, who officially joined the Royal Family in 2011, previously admitted that she struggled to adapt to royal life at the start.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, Mr Stanton reveals: “The thing about Kate Middleton is that she’s developed such a massive level of confidence and inner belief, so you put her in any situation and she’ll be her natural self.
“If we look at how the Princess of Wales has evolved, she used to be pretty quiet and downplay a lot of things.”
He added: “Whereas she handles things with a lot of self assurance nowadays.
“In terms of how she walks, she walks with a swagger. In some context, that could mean arrogance but not with her.”
Speaking of how she is around other royals, he added: “It shows confidence as she doesn’t look back at who is with her.
“If she’s with William, she’s not checking on him, which is something Prince Charles tends to do with Queen Camilla.
“With Kate, she takes big strides, which is related to inner confidence. She doesn’t make any nervous gestures.”
Mr Stanton then compared Kate to other royals, in particular Prince William and Prince Harry – who, unlike Kate, were both born into the Royal Family.
He added: “We sometimes still see the likes of William and Harry put their hands in their jacket, which is a self reassurance gesture.
“We never see any sort of insecurity or distress signals from Kate. All her gestures are very deliberate and positive.”
Last September, Kate became the first Princess of Wales since the late Princess Diana.
Previously speaking to Express.co.uk, body language expert Judi James claimed that Kate has “changed” since taking on the role.
She said: “Kate’s body language has changed since she became Princess of Wales, but perhaps not in the way that people might have expected.
“The pressure could have caused some signs of anxiety and even imposter syndrome, but instead her confidence signals have been on an upward trajectory recently. She is now at something of a peak in terms of sending out signals, which suggests she now not only fully embraces and understands her role, but that she feels comfortable in it, too.”
