Whenever Prince William and Princess Kate make a public appearance, they are constantly under the watchful eyes of the world, with cameras and experts analysing their every move. 

To navigate this intense scrutiny, the couple reportedly developed a subtle method of communicating with each other during official engagements, according to a body-language expert.

Since making their relationship public in 2004, William and Kate have faced constant attention. Now, after more than a decade of marriage and raising three children, they once relied on discreet signals to build their confidence together, as noted by body-language expert Darron Stanton.

He told Betfair Casino that while Kate has clearly relaxed into her royal role, it was a different story in the beginning. “Kate’s confidence has grown dramatically in recent years,” Stanton said. “When Kate was first introduced as a public figure, we would see her play with her hair a lot and look to William for support during joint interviews or events.

“We would see this from William too, as they both wanted reassurance from each other. There’s a sense they weren’t very confident early on and looking into each other’s eyes was their way of checking in with each other. They both wanted to feel at ease.”

Now, when Kate is out and about, she rarely shows any signs of nerves and hardly ever needs to look to William for reassurance, Stanton noted. “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. 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.”

There are other signs too, according to Stanton. “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.”

Prince Harry is reportedly “hurt” by recent allegations against Meghan Markle concerning her behavior towards staff, according to a royal expert. 

The Hollywood Reporter recently published a damning article branding the Duchess of Sussex as “Duchess Difficult,” with claims that staff were “terrified” of her and subject to “belittling” treatment.

However, Mandana Dayani, the former COO of Archwell, has come to the couple’s defense, describing the Duke and Duchess as “kind, decent, caring people” and calling the allegations a “profound injustice.”

Speaking on The Royals – with Roya and Kate podcast, royal editor Kate Mansey shared that these renewed accusations would be particularly painful for Harry, especially after what has been described as a “good week” during his solo trip to New York. 

Mansey said, “This is his thing, and the idea that this is coming up again—essentially an old story they had hoped to put to bed—will be deeply upsetting.”

Harry is set to appear at the WellChild Awards in London, but the resurfacing of this story is likely to cast a shadow over what should have been a positive moment for him.

Recent resurfacing of allegations portraying Meghan in a negative light could not come at a worse time for the Duchess, according to a royal expert. 

As Meghan is reportedly focusing on building her brand and secret projects, including a potential lifestyle venture and a major Netflix show set to launch next year, the renewed claims from The Hollywood Reporter could pose a serious challenge to her carefully crafted public image.

The article, which paints Meghan as “Duchess Difficult” and accuses her of mistreating staff, sharply contrasts with the persona she is aiming to cultivate as a “wholesome mother” and creative individual living a glamorous life in Montecito.

Lana Del Rey took a more down-to-earth approach to her wedding attire, opting to thrift her wedding dress from a local boutique in New Orleans months before publicly confirming her relationship with Jeremy Dufrene. 

Rather than following in the footsteps of stars who choose custom gowns from luxury designers like Vera Wang or Elie Saab, the 39-year-old superstar reportedly found her perfect dress at a small shop called Vintage Market by Trashy Diva in May.

According to a source who spoke with TMZ, it’s unclear if Del Rey was specifically searching for a wedding gown, but after browsing through several items, she fell in love with a bohemian-style white dress she spotted in the store’s window. 

The gown featured a romantic ruffled neckline and a flowing skirt with a train. 

Although the exact price of the dress hasn’t been confirmed, wedding dresses at the boutique typically range around $400, offering curated vintage styles from the 1920s through Y2K.

For her intimate wedding, she showcased her signature style with a charming curled ponytail, accented by a whimsical pale blue ribbon. 

The surprise nuptials came just a month after she and father-of-three Jeremy Dufrene publicly confirmed their romance, leaving fans in awe of the quick turnaround.

In newly surfaced photos and videos obtained by DailyMail.com, the blushing bride is seen being escorted down the aisle by her father, Robert Grant, in the picturesque setting of Allemands. 

Radiating joy, Del Rey held a beautiful floral bouquet as she exchanged vows with Dufrene by the water, right at the bayou where he operates his popular swamp boat tours. 

The singer, whose net worth is estimated at $30 million, embraced the enchanting atmosphere, marking a memorable chapter in her life.

Victoria Beckham took a well-deserved break on Saturday, stepping out for a low-key lunch in Paris with her children following the success of her Paris Fashion Week show. 

The fashion designer kept her look understated yet chic, wearing a black jacket and trendy sunglasses as she left her hotel in the French capital. 

Joining her were sons Cruz and Romeo, along with Cruz’s new girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.

Despite receiving thunderous applause for her star-studded runway show the night before, Victoria kept a composed expression, though she continued to exude style in an all-black ensemble with her brunette locks flowing in soft waves. 

Cruz, meanwhile, stood out in a navy, yellow, and red zip-up Adidas sweater paired with brown trousers. 

The family outing provided a rare moment of relaxation amidst the fashion whirlwind.

Jackie, Cruz’s girlfriend, opted for a laid-back style as well, pairing a black leather jacket with a simple black top and white sports cap. 

Cruz added a sporty touch with a navy, yellow, and red Adidas zip-up sweater and brown trousers.

Romeo also joined the family, sporting a relaxed ensemble with a long-sleeved white top under an oversized grey T-shirt, teamed with black cargo trousers and red Puma trainers. 

He added an orange cap worn backwards and reflective silver sunglasses, injecting some color into his laid-back outfit.

Notably absent were Victoria’s husband David, daughter Harper, and eldest son Brooklyn, along with his wife Nicola Peltz, though it’s possible they were nearby after the family’s united front at Victoria’s star-studded fashion show the night before. 

During Friday’s show, the designer exuded elegance in a sleek black suit as she greeted the audience with a smile and wave following her Spring/Summer 2025 collection’s successful debut.
