Body language expert breaks down ‘telltale signs’ in Princess Kate’s behaviour during rare solo appearance
Kate Middleton delighted fans when she appeared at the men's singles final of Wimbledon
Following Kate Middleton’s absence from the public eye following the revelation she had been diagnosed with cancer, people were thrilled to see her at Wimbledon, and a body language expert has weighed in on how the Princess of Wales was feeling.
Earlier this year in March, Kate shared a video that revealed she was undergoing treatment for cancer.
A follow up statement in June included the following: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting.

"But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.”
She added: “I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
Fans of Kate have very much missed her presence from public events and so were overjoyed when she was spotted at the men's single’s Wimbledon final on 14 July.
She was joined by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Middleton.
This marked her first public appearance in over a month since her attendance at the Trooping the Colour alongside husband, Prince William.
Body language expert Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of FruitySlots, has revealed what Kate’s demeanour at Wimbledon suggests about her current state of mind.
Kate ‘in a good place’
Stanton revealed: “Kate was seen wearing purple as she made her appearance at Wimbledon. Purple has a representation of spirituality, calmness and tranquillity but also communication.
“This choice of clothing demonstrates the Princess of Wales wanted to reassure herself subtly - but I do believe she is currently in a good place. It’s clear she feels confident in what she’s wearing, giving her the feeling of ease and stability for this important event.”
The Princess is showing ‘inner strength’
Stanton added: “When we saw Kate walking along, she had her shoulders back with her head held high as she took long strides. The way she was walking suggests that she is feeling good about herself and has the inner strength to take this public appearance on independently.”
A lot of ‘genuine enjoyment’
Stanton shared: “While interacting with people, Kate looked into people’s eyes directly, displayed genuine smiles and appeared to be very present in these interactions. This shows Kate felt naturally happy to be there.
“She didn’t have to fake any emotion or put on a brave face - she showed a lot of genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment. Kate is taking everything step by step. She wasn’t over the top and doing too much too soon, she carried herself with elegance and pride.”
Kate displayed ‘inner confidence’
Finally, Stanton concluded: “When we look at Kate’s handshake, it is very firm, controlled and stable. There is a significant correlation between someone’s handshake and their inner confidence as an individual. Kate’s handshake proved she has a lot of confidence in herself and her self-esteem remains very strong. It highlights that Kate has the determination to power through and assert herself during Royal engagements.”
We wish the Princess of Wales all the best as she continues her recovery.
