SANDRINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM: Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, made a family appearance on Christmas Day, and walked to Sandringham with the rest of the royal family as the public handed out presents.

However, at one point, Kate Middleton got distracted during a conversation with fans and realized that her family had walked on without her. She joked, "I think I've lost my family!" before hurrying to catch up with William and her children.

Prince William reportedly talked on the phone with a protection officer when he realized that his better half, Kate Middleton, had been left behind and that they were seen chatting as the Princess of Wales caught up with the group, according to Hello.



 

Body language expert Judi James noticed a sweet moment between Kate and William during the royals' Christmas Day walk and said that the "dimpling" in Kate's smile "suggests authentic joy and good humor and as William looked across and saw it, his own smile seemed to widen, to match those of their very Christmas Day–excited children," according to Cosmopolitan.

She further noted that Kate was "upbeat" and "confident," and added that she "arrived at church walking crowd-side and had she worn a wide-brimmed hat as she has in the past, there would have been an option of partly hiding her face if she felt vulnerable."

She added, "A smaller hat like hers tends to signal strength and a more confident, upbeat approach, and that was reflected in her beaming smile as she passed the fans.”

She delighted onlookers by agreeing to a fan’s request for a selfie, a move that signaled a new era of royal engagement, per the outlet.

After the family’s attendance at the Christmas Day church service at St Mary Magdalene Church, she greeted well-wishers waiting outside.

Notably, the usual royal practice involves handshakes and receiving small gifts, but the princess added a personal touch by stopping to pose for a photo, smiling brightly alongside a fan.
