Prince Harry opened up about his relationship with Kate Midleton in his new memoir, ‘Spare’

Prince Harry’s new memoir, Spare, came out on Jan. 10, and the controversial book revealed some royal family secrets. 

He wrote about a physical altercation with his brother, Prince William, and detailed some of his father, King Charles’, shortcomings as a parent. Harry partially blamed William and his wife, Kate Middleton, for infamously wearing a Nazi costume in 2005. 

He said William and Kate were huge Suits fans before meeting Meghan Markle, and recounted some tension between Meghan and Kate over the Duchess of Sussex saying her sister-in-law had “baby brain.”

Kate Middleton smiled and played with children in her first solo appearance since Prince Harry’s book ‘Spare’ came out

On Jan. 18, Kate Middleton made her first solo appearance since Prince Harry’s memoir Spare was released. The Princess of Wales visited the Foxcubs Nursery, an early child development center in Luton.

Kate met with staff and a small group of parents to discuss the importance of childcare in early years, and how it changed amid the global pandemic. “It is so important having that holistic support for a child where there isn’t this boundary between ‘educational life, which starts here’ and ‘home life, which starts here,’” she said (per the Mirror). “That there is more of a holistic network surrounding our children.”

As she playfully hid behind a paper mask, the royal seemed unbothered by Prince Harry’s recent revelations about her and her family.

A body language expert noted that the Princess of Wales wore her ‘superhero color’ to boost her confidence

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Bingo, body language expert and “Human Lie Detector” Darren Stanton commented on Kate Middleton’s recent appearance in Luton. He said that Prince Harry’s new book did not seem to have a “profound effect” on Kate, and she seemed “more confident” than ever, even without Prince William by her side. 

The body language expert also noted that Kate wore red, which he called her “superhero color.” “Kate appeared at her first solo engagement in a camel-colored coat, with her signature superhero color of red underneath,” Stanton said. “She often wears red as it allows her to feel the most confident and powerful, while the camel color helped tone down her outfit slightly. It’s clear Kate knows when she wants to be the center of attention.”
Several experts have noticed that the Princess of Wales often wears red, a color that attracts attention and increases confidence. “If a royal is wearing red they are commanding attention, straight away,” said Color Psychologist Tash Bradley (via Hello Magazine). “If I saw a royal in a red outfit, they’re wanting to stand out amongst the other royals.”
