Duty of being a working member of the British royal family is one of the most important things to the new Prince and Princess of Wales as a royal body language expert said they must save face in public while mourning the Queen’s death.
In an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day, body language expert Dr Louise Mahler examined Prince William and Kate Middleton at the recent walkaround at Windsor Castle with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
“They do everything so perfectly,” Dr Louise said.

Mahler noted the almost practiced movements of Prince William and Kate, as they “walk in a straight line… keep the arms moving… move the legs” and highlighted it “has a message.”

“Kate and William are an artwork – an artwork! the way that they do everything so perfectly. They have the smile when it’s needed. They have the serious face when it’s needed, they bow their head, they do everything to perfection,” she said.

“And, of course, there there’s mourning and they’re very sad. And they’re making the statement about we’re not royalty, therefore we can do that. And that is extraordinary.”
She noted that the Fab Four’s outing also pointed out it wasn’t as charming as originally perceived.
“Harry and Megan are fascinating. What is absolutely clear, is that William and Kate do not want to be associated with them. They are being polite. And it’s a very minimum, otherwise they’re getting no eye contact. Distance is being kept,” she says.

Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales have very different body language.
“Well, you only have to look at William and Kate to see what to do. And that is to maintain a neutrality of softness in the upper body. And nodding, a loose jaw. I eyes that look and blink. Just remain neutral,” she said.
“And of course this sad, and they can express that sadness. But don’t do any. What I would advise no behaviour that would attract attention, or show inconsistency. Because everybody’s watching.”
