Body language expert says warmth of
Familiar outfit for Duchess
THE Duchess of Cambridge has nailed her royal wedding look at her first public outing since the birth of Prince Louis last month.
Kate Middleton arrived late to the church, just ahead of the bride, as she was helping manage the bridal party of 10 children, including Prince George and a scene-stealing Princess Charlotte outside.
She wore a primrose yellow wool silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen - the same designer she wore for her own wedding in 2011. It was matched with a Philip Treacy hat and shoes by Jimmy Choo.
However style spotters were quick to point out she had worn that outfit before. It was first worn for the christening of Princess Charlotte back in July 2015, and at the Queen’s birthday celebrations in June 2016. She also wore the coat to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in July last year. SHE may have worn a stunning white dress to marry her British prince but body language has revealed Meghan Markle also wore the pants during Saturday’s lavish ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
And Dr Louise Mahler, an Australian body language and voice expert, doesn’t expect the Duchess of Sussex to stop calling the shots any time soon with Prince Harry happy to play the bodyguard while Ms Markle runs the show.
Dr Mahler, a body language and voice expert, also revealed: • Camilla, Duchess of Corn- wall was the “naughtiest” among the guests.
• Prince Harry was “angry” at times.
• And the Queen was subtle but obvious in how happy she was to have Meghan join the family.
Dr Mahler said Prince Harry was a nervous wreck while Meghan Markle held herself together “faultlessly” at their wedding.
The former Suits actress turned member of the British Royal Family showed how she ruled the roost in the Kensington Palace household with the Duchess showing complete composure despite being plunged into a society that couldn’t be more opposite from her humble upbringing.
And while he may have grown up in a world of royalty, Prince Harry, now the Duke of Sussex, showed several signs of how uncomfortable and anxious he was during the hugelyanticipated nuptials.
HARRY AND MEGHAN FIRST SIGHTING
Dr Mahler said Prince Harry “gulped” when he first spotted his wife, and had multiple selftouching checks during the ceremony, while Meghan – for the most part – kept her composure.
“He gulped, he grabbed for his button, there was also points where he grabbed for where his belt was, just above his crutch, he kept fiddling there as if it was a security blanket spot.
“When I see Harry with her he becomes like a bodyguard, he wants everything to be perfect for her so he becomes quite anxious about it being perfect for Meghan.
“Meghan was a lot more composed. She runs the show.”
She said the Duchess of Sussex showed “minor” signs of stress.
“She finished her sentences quite sharply which shows little hints of stress but we all know the week she’s had so that’s completely understandable. Meghan for the most part was poised.”
THE PREACHER
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall was the “naughtiest” during US Bishop Michael Curry’s dramatic speech.
“Camilla was the worst, she wriggled like a jelly on a plate, she was very naughty during that,” Dr Mahler said. “She was really looking for a laugh and someone to play with.
“Kate was even amused by it, trying not to crack a smile. Charles was looking at the floor trying not to laugh. Beatrice was laughing.
“The Queen and were even wriggling. Philip The Queen looked bored with it, not so much angry. I think she showed she was thinking ‘you asked for it, you got it’ (to Meghan who enlisted the bishop).
“Given the delicacy of everything that’s gone on this week, the bishop’s extreme variations in pitch, swinging his body and gestures, was just too strongly emotive and he didn’t have the rapport of the audience which is why they were all wriggling.”
While most of the Royal Family members were holding back giggles, Prince Harry looked “angry” about it, which Dr Mahler believes is because he was worried it would ruin Meghan’s moment.
