KEY POINTS

  • Prince William flirted with Kate Middleton in public this week
  • Prince William was a revelation during this week's engagement
  • Prince William seemed more comfortable during his first royal outing with Kate Middleton 

Prince William and Kate Middleton made their first public appearance this week since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they are stepping back from their roles.

During the royal couple’s outing, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were spotted flirting and chatting with each other. It was also evident that the couple was unusually romantic during their royal engagement.

While speaking with Daily Mail, body language expert Judi James said that Prince William was a revelation during the outing.

“Whether it's relief or delight or both his often shy smile broadens as the crowds show their love and with his signature frown gone you can see his upper cheeks rounded in what's called an ‘Apple’ effect that is always a sign of genuine pleasure. He engages with the crowds using humor and emphatic gesticulation and there is every suggestion that his confidence is back,” James said.

The body language expert went on to say that Prince William and Middleton were more expressive about their feelings for each other during this week’s visit. And this may not necessarily have anything to do with the so-called Megxit.

James said that the couple’s interaction was based entirely on what they really feel for each other. And they were also pleased with the reaction that they received from the crowds.

“It made William drop his guard a little and flirt with his wife while both he and Kate appeared to get much closer with and have more prolonged chats with what was very obviously their fans,” James said.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also made headlines this week after Middleton finally responded to the rumors that she’s pregnant.

While visiting the Khidmat Center in Bradford, Yorkshire on Wednesday, Middleton told a group of royal fans that she and Prince William have agreed to not have any more children.

But just last year, Middleton seemingly had a very different stand when it comes to having more kids. At that time, she called an adorable baby boy gorgeous and said that seeing him made her feel broody.
