Kate Middleton is hailed for her elegance and stoic sense of duty. Despite her health struggles, the Princess of Wales returned to her public duties shortly after completing chemotherapy. In light of King Charles's own battle with the disease, Middleton, along with Prince William, has stepped up in recent months. According to a body language expert, during her latest outing, Middleton sent out a clear 'message', allegedly letting everyone know that she can ‘take the lead,' showcasing ‘self-confidence.’



 

Middleton paid a visit to the new V&A East Storehouse in Stratford, East London, on June 10, to understand its ‘order an object’ system. The storehouse consists of over 500,000 creative works at the site, something which the Princess holds a keen interest in. According to Vanity Fair, she re-wore her blue trouser suit from her beloved designer Alexander McQueen for the visit. She paired it with stilettos despite the warehouse website's advice to people to wear flats, given its metal flooring. The Princess gracefully walked on the site, taking in knowledge. According to the Daily Express, analyzing footage from the event, body language expert Daron Stanton told Betfair Casino that the future Queen’s confidence was evident in her appearance. She said, “Kate looks super confident in this appearance. She’s wearing a blue suit, which tells us she wants to be authoritative in this situation.”



 

The expert noted her choice of color for the trip and its significance. She stressed, “Blue is a color of communication and calmness, so it’s clear Kate has shown a desire to take the lead and engage actively with those surrounding her with a lot of ease. Throughout this visit, she carried herself with a lot of self-confidence and strength.” He also pointed out how Middleton was curious to learn about the storehouse and praised her representation of the royal family. He said, “We saw Kate actively engaging with the team, as we saw her crouching down to take a closer look... listening to what they had to say. This tells us she has a natural curiosity and interest in being there and representing the royal family solo.”

The expert further opined, “Kate is completely genuine; she displayed engaged and authentic smiles throughout. It’s clear Kate loves to connect with people, and this event was no exception. She is happy to be there and to take on those responsibilities as the Princess of Wales.” This comes as no surprise given that the Princess was an art history major.
