‘She gives a few fake smiles’: Kate Middleton’s look decoded by body language expert

DESCRIPTION – Four months after her cancer announcement, the Princess of Wales finally made an official appearance again for Charles III’s birthday. Body language expert Olga Siesco breaks it down Madame Figaro his attitude, between self-control and forced smiles.

“I’m making progress, but anyone who’s been through chemotherapy knows there are good days and bad days.” Kate Middleton shared these sincere words a few days ago on her social networks, as if thanking her fans for their unwavering loyalty. Suffering from cancer, its treatment and its side effects had previously prevented her from honoring her royal duties, preferring to continue her recovery in the tranquility of Adelaide Cottage. But on Saturday, June 15, the Princess of Wales finally reappeared for Trooping the Color, Charles III’s official birthday bash. A highly symbolic return, marking the end of a six-month media absence. In the pouring rain that day, his broad smile was addressed to the thousands of sympathizers who had been planted since dawn in front of the gates of Buckingham Palace, waiting to see him. “The photos of the event give the impression that he is telling us. “Look, I’m here. I’m not dead. I still have my hair, I’m still beautiful and strong,” For deciphers. Madame Figaro body language expert Olga Siesco.

As the target of many conspiracy theories for months, the stakes were high for Prince William’s wife. Some earlier speculated, and still do, about the death, while others talked about a possible divorce from the son of Charles III. In addition to the significant weight loss, Kate appeared in her best regalia this week, with a dress made for her, an elegant hairstyle and natural makeup. However, the expert mentions several important details. “As always, he is exemplary and it is clear that he plays his role to perfection. On the other hand, he also uses a series of frontal smiles, also called “social smiles”, which only occur during interactions. To prove his point, he continues. “Genuine smiles, which are expressed when we are happy, create expression lines, especially crow’s feet at eye level. If Kate Middleton knows how to smile in public, then here she will show her teeth for example to give the illusion, we see that she is always in control and presenting. These are not spontaneous smiles.”

Between Serenity and Stoicism

Automatic smiles, one might say, collide with several photos taken from the boots, where the princess appears in a completely different image. “It’s interesting because we actually see her change her behavior between moments where she knows she’s being watched and others where she’s more intimate. This shows a form of control,” continues the expert. For example, the picture above, taken in the car escorting him to Buckingham Palace, moments before the military ceremony. “This is where her face relaxes, and I think this is where she looks most authentic,” Olga Siesco continues. To those who see it as a form of discomfort or weakness, he warns, however. “We shouldn’t over-interpret things. Anyone can look quite stoic or dreamy if photographed unconsciously. What’s troubling is where is she in these images? off, her face is really closed off, she seems to be in her own bubble, and that certainly reflects her everyday life the most. These are moments of truth, and there we feel neither boredom, nor pain, nor joy, nor irritation in his eyes. It’s absolutely quiet.” A mastery of herself and her emotions that respected her admirers, seeing in her the dignity and heroism of a queen, like Elizabeth II in bad times. “He has no self-pity. And that’s what makes up his character and his reputation as well.”

A truly cohesive couple

The body language expert also focuses on Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William’s image on Buckingham Palace (above), which has gone viral because it looks so touching. While some saw in the Prince of Wales a protective attitude towards his wife, while others gave her pride and relief, Olga Siesco puts these theories aside. “To say he’s proud of her when he’s looking at her on the balcony… I wouldn’t say that. When we are proud, we will tend to stick out our chest and push our body forward. Here it is her head that is inclined towards him, which on the other hand shows gentleness and complicity. The clue to seeing sincerity is in their proximity. “If they were angry, if their relationship did not go well, as some say, they would of course smile at each other, but they would not touch each other.” “The fact that their forearms are glued together is, in my opinion, a true sign of their bond and solidarity.”

On Friday, June 14, the eve of Charles III’s birthday, Kate Middleton posted a message on her social media giving an update on her health, thanking her family and fans for their support. Emphasizing that he is “not out of the woods” yet, he assured. “I hope to participate in some public events in the summer.” Therefore, his next appearance is only a matter of time.
