Kate Middleton’s ’emotional bond’ with Prince George is reflected in birthday photos

The Duchess of Cambridge’s ’emotional bond’ with her son Prince George is reflected in the personal birthday photos she took to mark his seventh birthday, a body language expert has claimed. 

Two photographs were released last night by Kate Middleton and Prince William, both taken by the Duchess earlier this month at the family’s Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, where George and his siblings, Princess Charlotte, five, and two-year-old Prince Louis, have spent lockdown.  

And while the camouflage green t-shirt and arms by his side pose could be a nod to his future role as king and career in the military, expert Judi James went on to say Prince George’s smile and kind eyes perhaps hint at his close relationship to his mother – who was behind the camera.

‘The fact that Kate took the photos herself means that we see both some very natural posing, plus the emotional bond between George and his mother, who his smiles and his fond eye expressions are clearly aimed at,’ she said, speaking to The Express.

The body language expert added the camouflage t-shirt could be a nod to George’s future roles in the military (military)

One of the photos shows a little boy, tousled blond hair swept aside and grinning, wearing a camouflage green T-shirt, while in the other he is wearing a favourite olive green polo shirt and shorts.

It seems that green being the colour of choice – in addition to the camouflage print – is an appropriate choice given George – who is already said to be obsessed with helicopters like his father – will one day inherit his great-grandmother’s mantle as Head of the Armed Forces.

Expert Judi James went on to say that while Kate is often photographed tending to Charlotte and Louis, George is more often pictured holding his father’s hand.

‘This tends to suggest William is in charge of encouraging and developing George in his role as future king, and the camouflage t-shirt does look like a nod to George’s future roles in the military,’ she added.   

Prince George opted for green in both photos – perhaps a nod to his mother Kate’s love of nature and the outdoors.

Judi also went on to suggest the green may reflect the mother-of-three’s passion for nature – which could have been passed down onto her son. 

The duchess has previously urged families to make the most of nature as she took her own children for an adventure in the woodland playground she created at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show. 

In one of the two portraits, George – who is third in line to the throne – can be seen with his arms down by his sides,    

Judi added: ‘Both poses look natural and fun but the first photo, standing upright with his arms down at his sides, hints at his future role as King, and acknowledges the fact that even now he is beginning to be gently eased into a life of duty.’
