Body Language Expert Examines Kate Middleton's First Public Appearance Since Cancer Diagnosis, Including One Notable Moment with Prince William

A body language expert is revealing what she saw from Princess Catherine of Wales (aka Kate Middleton) and the royal family at the 2024 Trooping the Colour parade.

If you don’t know, this was the Princess’ first major public appearance since Christmas, and her first major appearance since announcing she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Now, body language expert Judi James examined the behavior of the Princess, her husband Prince William, and his dad King Charles, who had also been undergoing cancer treatment. Also present were the royal kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

“Charles let his feelings of pride and even gratitude towards his beautiful daughter-in-law be made obvious on their balcony appearance,” Judi told The Mirror.

“Kate was treated by Charles as both a status equal and a cherished relation. Placed directly next to him in the line-up, it was Kate who was given the majority of the King’s attention. Their chats looked animated and ended in shared laughter a couple of times. The way Kate leant in towards Charles to talk at the start suggested this is a mutually-supportive relationship,” the body language expert continued.

She added, “Kate relaxed as the chats went on and by the end of the appearance her wide, fun, dimpled smile had returned. Charles also seemed grateful for the empathetic bond with Kate as by the singing of the anthem he was looking brought close to tears by the crowd’s support for them both.”

Judi also added a tidbit about the Wales couple, sharing, “Kate and William treated the fans to one look of love that came after William had amused the children and Kate had made Charles laugh. It was a small but hugely telling glance that was exchanged between them, with William’s puckered smile showing suppressed emotions of love, affection and gratitude, while Kate flashed back that dimpled and very congruent smile of delight to let her husband know all was well and the day had been a success.”

Just a few days ago, Princess Kate shared an update on her cancer battle.
