Kate Middleton's body language indicates 'significant change' amid ongoing Cancer treatment

In the photograph, Kate is seen posing under a tree, looking thoughtfully into its canopy. Body language expert Judi James analyzed the image, noting significant changes in the royal's demeanor. James highlighted two key "barrier gestures" - folded arms and crossed legs - as indicators of a blend of vulnerability and newfound confidence.

James remarked, “There’s a sense of confiding in the public here – the two barrier gestures of the folded arms and crossed legs are also new for Kate. They imply an intriguing blend of vulnerability and privacy with a hint of a new-found type of confidence. Her arms are lightly folded in a pose that is often adopted by professional people to hint at authority.”

Furthermore, James observed that Kate's smile in the photo is not her usual perfect royal smile. “Her smile reveals a similar sentiment. It’s not her usual perfect royal smile. With the lips closed it suggests calm serene happiness that is inner, rather than projected." she added.

She said, "On those bad days you feel weak and tired and you have to give in to your body resting. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as start to do a little work from home."

Kate shared that she experiences "good days and bad days" during her treatment. On good days, she finds joy in participating in school and personal activities that energize and uplift her.

However, on bad days, she prioritizes rest to accommodate her body's needs

Reflecting on the photograph, James observed that Kate's casual attire of jeans and trainers suggests she is proceeding "at a measured pace" in her return to royal duties.

She said, "With the jeans and trainers this seems to be a Kate who is still taking things slowly in terms of her return to royal life."
