Kate middleton has moved away from role of 'royal wife' to william

With an increasingly important royal role, body language expert Judi James claimed she is comfortable with her regal duties. She told Express.co.uk: "Kate can do the regal look with

ease, sporting a mean tiara and looking born to wear the kind of formal styling [of royals]." Even when making virtual appearances this year, Judi suggested she has shown she would be

well suited for her growing role. The expert continued: "Kate gesticulates with both hands and uses small body-movements to add energy and force to her words. DON'T MISS "She

also uses an upward finger-pinch gesture that usually suggests precise thinking and impassioned, persuasive thinking. "We haven’t seen Kate in the role of campaigner yet as it is one

that her husband and her brother-in-law tend to hold close to their chests but there are clues from her body language here that it is one she could comfortably move into and even take

forward into her future role as Queen." While the royal is comfortable in a regal setting, Judi explained she has become more "relaxed" during appearances. The expert added:

"Kate’s body language has become so much more relaxed recently. "[Before lockdown] Kate was always the first to bend down as she chats to children in the crowds and to pull on her

favourite boots and jeans to compete with her husband in any sporting events they were asked to take part in on visits." During recent video calls by Duke and Duchess, the expert

claimed Kate will often take the lead in discussions. Judi said: "Kate can often appear to lead when she is with her husband. "He can be the one adding the jokes and the humour in

between the more serious signals of concern, while Kate responds with supportive smiles and laughter." _Never miss a royal update again by signing up to the Daily Express Royal Family

newsletter_ THE ROYAL LINE OF SUCCESSION - WHO OUTRANKS WHO? The line of succession to the British throne dictates the order in which each member of the Royal Family would ascend to the

throne. It is also seen as a ranking of importance with the head of the line, the Queen, taking the place of ruler. Older children come before younger children. Traditionally boys came

before girls, but this law was changed on 26 March 2015 before the birth of Prince William’s first child. Incredibly, Catholics are still excluded from the line of succession, as are

children born outside of wedlock. The royals, who usually stick to a strict protocol when appearing in public, often arrive at events in ascending order of importance, with the most

important royal arriving last. Prince Charles, 72, is currently first-in-line to the British throne, followed by Prince William, 38, his oldest son. Then comes Prince William’s children,

George, seven, Charlotte, five, and Louis, two, and they are followed by Prince Harry, 36. Prince Harry is succeeded by his son Archie Harrison, born in May 2019.
