Body language expert breaks down Kate Middleton’s behaviour during rare royal appearance

A body language expert has spoken about Kate Middleton's behaviour during a rare public appearance this weekend.

Kate, 42, attended her biggest public event since announcing her health battle earlier this year, arriving at the Cenotaph's Remembrance Sunday service this weekend.

And one body language expert has said that Kate's attendance marked what seems to be a return to her 'full regal form'.

"Kate’s body language and even her styling showed a return to what looked like full regal form," body language expert Judi James told the MailOnline.

"Her facial expression became sombre once we heard the chimes of Big Ben and there was a more contained version of her clearly emotional signalling that we saw at the concert the evening before.

"Then she appeared tearful, but here her sadness registered with a fiercely regal look of stoic reflection."

James went on to explain that Kate's appearance was very much reminiscent of a previous moment, in which she carried herself like 'future queen'.

"Even her fascinator and the way she wore her hair swept up looked like a re-run of one of her most iconic 'regal' moments when she was photographed in the car, in her Covid face mask, at Philip’s funeral, looking fiercely elegant and regal and so much like a future queen," James added.

The Princess of Wales stepped out alongside the rest of the royal family to attend the Cenotaph service on Sunday (11 November).

The event marks Kate's second appearance in a row at two major royal events, and people were over the moon to see the future Queen back on her feet.

Kate returned to work in September, revealing in an emotional 'home video' that she was cancer-free after finishing chemotherapy.

She described the months since her serious health issues began as 'incredibly tough for us as a family' and how the 'cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone', with the experience giving her a 'new perspective on everything'.

In the video, shared earlier this year, Kate said: "Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

"I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

"Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life."
