Body language expert and former Derbyshire police officer Darren Stanton analyzed Prince William and Kate Middleton’s behavior during a recent appearance in Scarborough.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he shared that the Prince and Princess of Wales differ from their predecessors and want to be as “accessible as possible.”

“There is a great shot of Kate having a moment of laughter with a member of the public whilst the woman in the photo was smiling.  The same woman also was seen talking to William and holding his hand,” Stanton described. “It’s clear that William and Kate intend to be a very different king and queen as they are moving amongst the public and being as accessible as possible.”

He added, “Giving their time to the public also shows that the pair care about their fans, which has made them more popular than ever before.”

The body language expert noted that Prince William and Kate Middleton’s interactions with fans seem ‘genuine’

While Prince William and Kate Middleton seem eager to be popular amongst fans, their interactions with the public show genuine “joy and happiness,” according to Stanton.

“There are several very tight shots taken of both William and Kate where they are displaying genuine expressions of joy and happiness,” said the body language expert. “This is denoted by the crows’ feet at the side of their eyes, which are fully engaged and bright.”
