Royal Family: Princess Kate's tell-tale sign she was 'in good place' during Wimbledon
The Princess of Wales delighted royal fans on Sunday with her attendance at Wimbledon and now a body language expert reveals what her appearance shows.
The Princess of Wales was praised for showing her "inner strength" during her Wimbledon appearance on Sunday afternoon.
Princess Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, presented the men's final trophy to Carlos Alcaraz, in what is her second public engagement - after Trooping the Colour in June - since announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Now body language expert Darren Stanton analysed the future Queen's appearance and claimed that she appeared to feel "naturally happy" and "good about herself" at Wimbledon with "very strong" levels of "self-esteem".
Speaking on behalf of Fruity Slots, he explained: "[Princess]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. 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."
He added: "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. When we look at Kate’s handshake, it is very firm, controlled and stable. 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."

Meghan Markle sends clear signal about how she feels about Prince Harry with one move
The Duchess of Sussex accompanied her husband Prince Harry at the ESPY Awards, where he was honoured for his work with the Invictus Games - but a body language expert has noted a change when it came to Meghan Markle's behaviour.
Harry and Meghan attended the ceremony in Los Angeles, where Harry received the Pat Tillman Award for Service, awarded by sports channel ESPN to individuals in the sporting world who have made significant contributions to the lives of others.
Body language expert, Darren Stanton, believes there was something different about the Duchess at the event on July 11. He told the Mirror: "Meghan was there to support Harry and you could tell she felt very happy to be there. On some occasions, we will see signs of Meghan trying to assert her presence and taking the lead during joint engagements."
What happened minutes before Charles and Camilla were rushed to hotel in security scare
Just moments before King Charles and Queen Camilla were rushed to safety after a security risk was detected during an engagement in Jersey, the King and Queen were about to sample local ice cream.
During a scheduled course of engagements, the royal duo were on Weighbridge Place in St Helier touring exhibits. The managing director of Jersey Dairy had just served the Queen a scoop of ice cream from a van before she was quickly escorted away.
Eamon Fenlon described the moment. He said: "I had just given the Queen an ice cream and I turned back to get one myself before we had a chat. But when I turned back round she had been whisked off. Some of the other people told me it was a drone but whether that’s official or not I don’t know."
Royal fan frenzy as key detail spotted in new Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis picture
Princess Kate issued a sweet photograph of her two youngest children, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis enjoying the England Euro 2024 final on TV, as the Three Lions competed against Spain for the title on Sunday evening.
