Kate Middleton’s three subtle body language clues show how she’s feeling on rare outing

A top body language expert has broken down Kate Middleton’s three subtle but highly telling gestures that reveal much about her feelings.

Body language guru, Judi James, notes that Kate showed a “chatty and animated” persona while at the royal residence in Balmoral, Scotland. Given the challenges she’s faced with her health this year, including a cancer diagnosis, it’s no surprise that Kate’s public appearances have been more limited.

Judi observes: “Kate looks chatty and animated here and as she turns her head to speak her brows are raised.”

Seen riding alongside her spouse, Kate appeared relaxed and at ease according to Judi.

Judi elaborates: “But there is one even stronger sign of authentic, relaxed happiness. We can see her teeth gleaming in a smile that is mirrored by William’s smile as they drive to church.”

Speaking to the Mirror US, Judi reveals: “The important ‘tell’ though comes from the very distinct dimple we can see at the side of her cheek, which suggests she’s truly enjoying the outing as well as the company in the car. The hat with its feather gives a jaunty look too, making Kate look positive and upbeat here.”

Kate, alongside Prince William, was also seen attending a service at Crathie Church close to Balmoral in Scotland, with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Earlier in the day, their son, young Prince George, was also spotted in the back seat of the vehicle.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were seen heading to the service, while Prince Edward travelled in a different vehicle. A ceremonial guard from the Scottish Balaklava company of pipers greeted the king when he arrived.

Kate made her first public appearance since her illness at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London this June, and later presented tennis star Carlos Alcaraz with his Wimbledon championship trophy in July.

Before her attendance at the Trooping the Colour in June, Kate shared an emotional statement about her experience with chemotherapy. “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she said.

She described the tough times during treatment: “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. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”

She also mentioned that her treatment would continue for several more months, expressing happiness in participating in school events, enjoying personal hobbies that uplift her spirits, and gradually resuming some work from home on her better days.

Her Sunday outing is thought to be her first public appearance since the grand slam tennis tournament, despite she and William sharing a congratulatory video message for Team GB athletes after the Paris Olympics earlier this month.

Crathie Kirk has been a preferred place of worship for the Royal Family during their stays at Balmoral for over a century. A private service was held there for the royals in September 2022 following Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, and they also attended a Sunday service there in 1997 after Princess Diana’s death.
