How Prince William and Kate’s “body language has changed” – is Meghan the reason why?
As Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan complete their royal tour, they have been seen showering each other with affection and not shying away from PDA.
Now on the other side of the world, it appears that their flirty actions may have rubbed off on another royal couple – Prince William and Duchess Kate.
Observing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s behaviour at a recent engagement in England, body language expert Judi James says the couple seem to be more loved-up than ever.
Speaking to Express, Judi explained that she’s noticed some subtle changes in Kate’s body language and that she is oozing confidence since returning from maternity leave.
Last week, William and Kate attended the first Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit at London’s Country Hall on the South Bank.
The couple looked dashing for the occasion as Kate wore a lilac Emilia Wickstead dress and William wore a suit.
"There seems to have been some intrinsic changes in the body language of Kate and husband William since the birth of their third child," Judi revealed.
"Kate seems to have increased in confidence here at their first public outing together since the birth (of Prince Louise in April) and William is unusually tactile, flashing some sweet ‘pinging’ smiles at his wife to suggest he's incredibly pleased to have her back at his side."
“Kate positively strides from the car and her torso and arm movements tell a similar story of confidence and energy," Judi added.
"The pair always look happy and loving but usually in a non-tactile way.
"This tendency to touch in public seems to be a new trait for them.
"It could be a signal of delighted parenthood but it might also have been prompted by the very tactile displays from Harry and Meghan."
During Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s recent wedding, William and Kate were also spotted holding hands in the church pews.
"It's normally touch and PDA-free body language rituals from William and Kate but they managed to outdo Harry and Meghan here as Kate reached across to place a hand on the arm of her husband's chair and he put his own hand over it in a very romantic gesture."
Judi added, “Their smiles together have changed and their affection and love signals are much more intense and open than ever before, suggesting the birth of their third child has somehow thrown them back into the honeymoon stage of their relationship."
