Over Christmas Day, photos emerged of the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex walking side-by-side on their way to Church in Sandringham. The pictures seemingly put to rest any rumours the pair were feuding behind palace walls.
But, a body language expert has revealed the royal pair were using tactics “favoured by the world’s leading politicians.”
Kate and Meghan appeared “tactile”, laughing and joking together.
But, expert Judi James told Daily Mail that the lack of eye contact between William and Harry told the real story.
Of Kate and Meghan, James says: “It reminds me of political body language. The kind of thing politicians do when they’re walking with other heads of state and want to show some signs of rapport or unity.”
According to reports, prior to Christmas day the Queen and Prince Charles made it clear that any rift between the two duchesses must be kept out of the public eye as they arrived together at the St Mary Magdalene Church.
Their body language spoke volumes about how the two women really feel, says James.
“They’re walking in step, and there’s enough mirroring to suggest like mindedness too. Kate has her left hand raised at the same time as Meghan – they’re both gesticulating in an over-congruent way to show they’re having a conversation.
“It looks performed, they’re possibly trying a bit too hard.”
