Princess Kate’s ‘genuine lack of inhibitions’ won’t change as Queen – claim

Kate, Princess of Wales visited Maidenhead Rugby Club on Wednesday in honour of the Shaping Us campaign.

The royal strayed from her usual glamorous attire by wearing a blue sports kit and her hair tied up in a sleek ponytail.

Looking suitably dressed for the occasion as always, Kate presented a more relaxed and carefree nature as she discussed the initiative and got stuck into a game of “walking rugby”.

While her demeanour appeared friendly and forthcoming, body language expert Judi James noted that her lack of inhibitions was particularly telling of the senior royal’s destiny as a future queen, and exactly how she will behave when she steps into the role.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Judi said: “Kate is probably at her most immersive and confident best when she is joining in on visits to sporting events and venues.”

The expert claimed: “She is clearly the most hands-on sporty royal, approaching these moments with an almost professional-looking enthusiasm. It is also clear that she must encourage these appearances and inform the people she is visiting that she intends to get stuck in.”

Of course, the Princess of Wales is not the first member of the Royal Family to show her love for being active, but the way she carries herself is particularly telling of the qualities she possesses as a future Queen.

She said: “Kate’s body language shows a genuine lack of inhibitions and shyness. Her eye expression shows an intense focus on competing properly and doing well.

“She rarely if ever adds any self-effacing rituals to suggest she will be less than successful and every movement, from her wide stride running to the way she stretches all her limbs out as she jumps, suggests she goes back into her pre-royal state when she was loving doing sport during her university days.”

Kate’s willingness to get her hands dirty at such events more so than her senior relative, Queen Camilla, suggests that she will be more involved with the public when she fulfils engagements in the same role one day.

The body language expert claimed that this makes her much more like the late Princess Diana in this sense.

She explained: “This behaviour looks like a statement of intent. Not only is Kate showing personal enjoyment she is also providing a great role model for young girls with displays as we saw at the rugby club.

“There are no signs here that this is just a ‘Princess’ behaviour that will naturally stop when she is Queen, either. As an integral part of who she is and how she wants to be seen, the expectation should be that we will have the first Queen to be actively sporty not just in private but during her royal duties, too.”

Judi continued: “Most royals enjoy their sports but they rarely if ever participate to this extent. We can see a glimpse of Anne’s equestrian skills when she rides at events like the coronation and Diana would clearly have loved to have been able to join in as Kate can.

“Watching Diana throw herself into the mother’s race at the school sports day as though she was competing at the Olympics despite wearing a very serene smart dress suggests she would have been both delighted and envious to see the level of sporting participation that Kate now enjoys.

“William and Harry were also once a joy to watch as they got any chance to compete against each other but other royals will always tend to approach any sporting moments on visits with the body language of embarrassed awkwardness and feigned incompetence.”
