How William ‘broke through tradition’ with locals
Prince William’s behaviour during royal engagements has been analysed recently.
During his trip to Brazil for The Earthshot Prize Awards earlier this month, William was seen taking selfies and sharing hugs with locals.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton said: “Prince William was in his element, relaxed, approachable, and clearly enjoying every moment of connecting with the public.
“His body language spoke volumes: open-palmed gestures, warm smiles, and constant handshakes that signalled authenticity and ease. Unlike the late Queen Elizabeth II, who adhered to a more formal protocol, William broke through tradition with hugs, selfies, and genuine interaction.”
‘Deeply connected to the people around him’
He added: “At one point, a member of the crowd shook his hand and placed a hand on William’s arm, a spontaneous gesture of admiration that perfectly captured the affection people feel for him. The atmosphere was one of elation and respect.

“The prince appeared genuinely joyful throughout the visit, taking time to engage rather than rushing through the crowds. Many had waited for hours, and William made sure their patience was rewarded. His visit showed a modern royal open, honest, and deeply connected to the people around him.”
