A few days after it was announced that Kate Middleton is the new patron of the English Rugby union, body language expert Judi James explained that Kate’s enthusiastic involvement in the game signifies a modern change for the Monarchy.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Ms. James said: “Kate’s newest appointment as rugby ambassador seems to have finally promoted her as something of a modern, contemporary royal rather than the more elegant traditionalist that she normally presents as.”
“Her style and body language to date have seen her adopt a rather cautiously regal demeanor that has been timeless rather than contemporary.”
“We have seen glimpses of her in a more relaxed and sporty mood when she has flexed her competitive muscles on visits with her husband but here she is seen solo, emphatically sporty, and absolutely loving every minute of it.”
