Kate Middleton and William body language shows
With a coronavirus lockdown in place across the UK, Kate Middleton and Prince William have switched to making virtual appearances via video call. During an engagement last week, a body language expert explained the couple are “reflective” and show “genuine emotion” at the topics they discuss.
Kate and Prince William spoke about bereavement services in a video posted on the “kensingtonroyal” Instagram page.
The post was captioned: “Bereavement is never easy, especially for frontline workers during these unprecedented times.
“It is so important to have services like Just ‘B’, who provide a listening ear for those coping with the loss of colleagues, loved ones, and people they care for.
“For frontline workers looking for support, call 0300 303 4434, which is free, confidential and available daily from 8am – 8pm (run by @ourfrontlineuk).

“The Royal Foundation’s support for @hospice_uk’s Just ‘B’ service was announced in July last year as part of it’s COVID-19 Response fund.”
Commenting on the video, body language expert Judi James said the royals showed strong signs of “empathy”.
She told Express.co.uk: “William and Kate are promoting a bereavement service here that places a focus on listening to people who have lost family, friends and colleagues and their own non-verbal signals fit that theme perfectly.
“The Cambridges appear to have pared back in terms of their own appearance and their own movements and body language to create a message of concern and empathy.

“There is nothing ‘celebrity’ or high-status about them here, their outfits are smart but functional.
“Kate has even pinned her trademark long, glossy curls back to create a much plainer and less eye-catching look, ensuring our focus is the people they are listening to rather than themselves.”
The expert explained the couple toned down their own appearances to not distract from the message being discussed, with Kate opting for a muted look.
When discussing the sensitive topic, Judi claimed Kate and Prince William were genuinely invested and showed “grief” of their own.
The expert continued: “Their eye cut-offs do suggest genuine emotion here.
“It is possible to hear and see grief in the body language and vocal tone of the people on screen and William and Kate’s accelerated blink-rate suggests they are moved.
“William’s brows are puckered and he performs a couple of heavy swallows, and at one point he looks down altogether to conceal his eye expression.”
The Cambridges seemed to be on the same page in terms of the emotions they were feeling, Judi continued.
She stated they displayed similar body language signals and used mirroring techniques.
“William and Kate use a lot of mirroring here to signal a like-minded approach although they also perform as a complimentary double-act,” Judi added.
“William looks and sounds more active and troubled while Kate asks questions while offering a warm, caring smile.
“Their active listening nods are almost in unison and when William speaks we can see Kate’s eyes move off to her left, suggesting she is reflecting on his words and his sentiments about ‘unprecedented’ times.”
