Body Language Expert Notices Kate Middleton's 'Ignited Smile' After Glancing At Prince William

According to the Daily Mail, body language expert Judi James, who has given opinions on many royal events over the years, thought that the mom-of-three had an "unsmiling expression" while greeting fans in Sandringham, which could have suggested that she was experiencing "tiredness or a moment of concern."

However, James then noticed that the Princess of Wales' expression and demeanor instantly changed after looking at her husband, who she credited for helping her navigate her chemotherapy treatment last year, referencing her "ignited smile." Aww!

"She looked across at William and they exchanged a glance that came with an ignited smile, meaning her expression responded to his grin with an instant and wide smile of her own," James noted, before going on to suggest that it was "perhaps the biggest body language cue of the current relationship' between the Waleses."

"His strongest moment of support here came at a distance then, but it was a powerful tie-sign between them nevertheless and with that response smile in place, Kate went out to greet the fans looking genuinely happy and touched," James continued.

James added: "His smiles would be a given as the late Queen's legacy is all about stoicism, although there was a glimpse of some edge-to-edge teeth behind his lips that hinted at inner tension, even though he knew that Sophie and even the very dashing and experienced Jonny Thompson were close by Kate all through her Christmas outings and keeping the most caring of eyes on her."
