Kate also uses a “distracting technique” to make “chat with children feel more natural,” body language expert Judi James claimed.
The Princess of Wales met primary school children to discuss Children’s Mental Health Week as a patron of Place2Be and was seen helping children make paperchains.
The body language expert commented: “She looks warm and engaged here, but it is when she is filmed sitting with the children that she really displays her capacity for a very skilful but relaxed approach that allows them to share their thoughts and feelings despite the presence of the cameras.
“Plus she truly appears to be enjoying herself! Kate does everything here to not look like a royal on a visit. Her role is more as a facilitator and motivator, making the children feel comfortable about answering her questions.
