‘Important message’ William and Kate sent with anniversary post
Body language expert Judi James spoke to the Mirror about the family photo of the Waleses.
She said: “Now that George, Charlotte and Louis are a little older the message from this pose is not that William and Kate are just celebrating their roles as parents and as husband and wife, but that they’re primarily embracing and celebrating their own ability to act like children too, as this intertwined, tumbling, playful group are all showing their capacity for freedom and expressiveness here.
“This is an important message, not just for William and Kate, with William in particular having a role that normally requires formality and emotional caution, but it also seems to hold a soft message that flies in the face of claims from across the Atlantic that you need to escape the confines of royal life to ever feel free.”
She added: “William shows he is able to be as much of a big kid as he wants in this family group, and the couple show how that freedom to express emotions of love, joy and playful fun will be a constant, even when William is on the throne.”
