Kate Middleton

At the time, the Duchess of Cambridge had not made many royal appearances and Judi claimed she appeared “anxious”.

She continued: “Her first outings with the Queen showed some clear signals of anxiety and tension from Kate in between the smiles and moments of conversation, resulting in some rather rigid poses and tense facial expressions.

“Clearly keen to do everything right she sits and stands in a way that looks elegant but very self-conscious and the signature dimpled smile is missing.”

The same year, Kate and the monarch were spotted together on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour.

Judi explained there was still some tension between the royal women.
