Kate Middleton’s ‘tension’ over her father as royal hints she ‘wants to move…

Kate Middleton displayed signs of “tension” when her family came up during an ITV interview, a body language expert has suggested. In the Channel 5 documentary titled Kate: In Her Own Words, two experts analyzed Prince William and Kate’s engagement interview from 2010 with ITV.

When interviewer Tom Bradby brought up Kate Middleton’s “close-knit family”, she acknowledged the importance of family to her and expressed her desire for a “happy family” with William. Yet, body language specialist Judi James observed signs of “tension” in Kate, implying that the subject of her own family made her “nervous”.

Judi remarked: “We can see there are signs of tension from Kate. Kate’s family is mentioned and this seems to make her more nervous than actually speaking about the royals.

During the interview, Tom probed about the reactions of their parents upon hearing of the engagement. William shared his dilemma over whether to ask Kate’s father for permission first.

He concluded that since he might refuse, it was wiser to propose to Kate initially so her dad couldn’t “really say no”. However, according to Judi, this part of the conversation left Kate “feeling a little bit awkward”, reports Cambridgeshire Live.

Judi noted: “We can see her swallow. She sucks her lips in and that usually is a sign of a lack of desire to talk at that particular point, maybe feeling a little bit awkward, maybe even a little bit anxious.”

She added: “We begin to see a finger tap. Now, a finger tap usually means a little bit of impatience and I’d probably prefer you to move on from this particular subject.

Another body language expert, Mike Carter observed that Kate also “hesitates” and is “very cautious”, illustrating that the princess was seen licking her lips, which he interpreted as a sign of anxiety. The Prince and Princess of Wales touched on future family plans in the interview, with William stating they’ll “take it one step at a time”, but they “obviously” want a family, as the Express reported.

Kate comes from a family of her own, daughter to Carole and Michael Middleton and sister to Pippa and James. She now has three kids with William: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In September, it emerged that Carole and Michael got in front of the camera during Kate’s cancer update video, where she announced the end of her chemotherapy treatment.
