Kate Middleton stepped out with Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles earlier today. The Duchess of Cambridge accompanied her father-in-law and step-mother-in-law for an arts and culture exhibition at the Prince’s Foundation training site in London. Express.co.uk spoke to body language expert Judi James about Kate’s posture.
Kate has been seen attending the same event as Camilla before.
She has even made a public appearance alongside Prince William, his father Prince Charles, and Camilla on the odd occasion.
But today, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out with the Prince of Wales and his wife – without her husband.
While out and about in London, Kate and the other royals met teachers and students from the arts centre.
At times, Kate displayed signs of laughter in response to Charles and engaged in a separate conversation with Camilla.
Body language expert Judi spoke about how Kate conducted herself during the visit.
She said: “This very first outing of the royal trio of Charles, Camilla and Kate threw up some intriguing dynamics.
“The bonds between Kate and her father-in-law looked as strong as ever from the way the pair stopped to share jokes together and Kate eye-checked her father-in-law as he spoke, flattering him with some smiling or even laughing responses.
“There were also some new signals of what looked like friendship between Kate and Camilla.
“The two women have looked polite and cordial enough together in the past but without showing any body language signs of a very warm or relaxed relationship.
“Here though there was more connection between the two women with Kate using some strong eye engage signals as Camilla spoke.”
She added: “It was the power and status signals and the balance of the trio that looked curious though.
“While Charles and Camilla posed together as a couple, Kate stood with a large spatial gap between them rather than being invited to mingle or pose with them as a close group.
“It could be a testament to Kate’s current position as the star of the Firm that caused this apparent separation between the two generations.
“If she had been less confident or less integrated she might have been offered some signals of support from Charles and Camilla but their positioning with her here suggests they are totally aware that she is now a force to be reckoned with in her own right.”
For the occasion, Kate had chosen to re-wear a grey Catherine Walker coat.
The last time she was seen in the coat was in March 2019.
She was also pictured wearing it when honouring Holocaust Memorial Day in 2020.
The coat dress featured a black collar and belt to cinch in her waist.
She completed the look with thick black tights, black heels and a small black bag.
