Kate, the Princess of Wales has shown she is “in a good place” with her position in the Royal Family and wants to focus on her job, a body language expert claimed.
The Princess of Wales faced criticism in the early years of her career as a royal, with commentators noting she often appeared nervous and unsure when undertaking duties on her own.
But expert Darren Stanton noted the royal has been showcasing a “subtle confidence” in herself, ensuring she keeps eye contact with whomever she meets to show her commitment to her job.
He argued that the Princess of Wales used to rely on “reassurances” from Prince William when on outings together but nowadays she has shown she is perfectly capable of carrying on by herself.
Stanton said: “In more recent years, Kate hasn’t shown any signs of nervousness or a need for reassurance from William.

“Her confidence has grown massively. We get a sense she’s happy to be there and wants to prove she’s here to get on with her job.
“She has an inner strength and is very motivated to do the best she can. This is shown through holding her head high, being active in conversations and engaging in strong eye contact with people she’s never met before.”
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, the body language expert argued Kate’s conduct in recent years highlighted the stark difference with the early stages of her royal career.
He added: “Kate didn’t have this confidence previously, and the confidence she has is quite subtle. It’s not too overwhelming, and it’s clear her role comes naturally to her.
“Kate always has strong eye contact with anyone she’s communicating with and never comes across as slouched. She rarely crosses her arms either – and that is normally a giveaway of someone feeling out of place with a lack of confidence.”
Stanton also noted a significant change in the “tone” Kate uses when she meets members of the public, saying that she now uses a far stronger and louder voice to communicate compared to earlier on.
He added: “Kate’s voice tone and pitch are important too. In early interviews of Kate, her voice is quite low in volume and tone. Her voice is now a lot louder and higher in pitch, which suggests quite a change in her confidence.
“It’s a completely different Kate from before. Kate’s walking is a lot more confident, too.
“She doesn’t look down at all – she looks straight ahead with her shoulders back. It shows she isn’t intimidated by others and is in a good place with herself.”
