Prince William and Kate Middleton made sure to give a glimpse into their emotional journey since the Princess of Wales was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
A Christmas card released by the Prince and Princess of Wales, featuring their family photo, has shared subtle but telling details hidden within the image, according to a body language expert.
Talking with The mirrorBody language expert Judy James noted daughter Princess Charlotte’s protective arms around her mother and brother, and William’s gentle gesture of nuzzling Kate’s thigh.
She noted that Wells tried to convey a sense of openness, honesty, and shared emotions, indicative of the challenges the family faced throughout the years.
“Charlotte is seen with protective arms around her mother and brother, almost huddled together. William has his arm around Louis, but his hand gently rests on Kate’s thigh,” James said. Wrapping up,” James said.
“Kate’s rituals also seem protective as she puts one arm around her children and extends the other to her husband and young son,” he added.
“With William and Kate’s card, we have, facing the camera, a close-up of what seems to be a very open and honestly shared emotion from both parents and children.
“This is the family photo we saw in the video update of Kate’s illness, and the body language here is so delicate and complex that it gently hints at what she’s going through.”
